An Oklahoma man has been arrested after authorities accused him of throwing a pipe bomb at the headquarters of a group in Salem, Massachusetts, called The Satanic Temple.

Surveillance cameras showed a man walk up to the building soon after 4 a.m. on April 8 wearing a face covering, tactical vest and gloves, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI. The man then ignited an improvised explosive device, threw it at the main entrance then ran away. The bomb partially detonated, resulting in some minor fire damage, authorities said.

    “Damn the satanic temple must be filled with maniacs if someone thinks a pipe bomb is necessary.”

    Or

    “We should ban the satanic temple then nobody would run around with pipe bombs.”

    EDIT: inserted quotes to clarify intention.

      “We should ban short skirts, then nobody would run around raping women”

      Such backwards, false thinking. Put the responsibility where it belongs, on the person who purposefully took criminal action.

        Those are not my opinions I was trying to guess how people are going to spin it. Not really sarcastic but more cynical?

        Don’t know the fitting word to describe my motivation but it came from a place of anger. Not against the satanic temple but the people who talk like that.

        Guess I should have put everything but “or” in quotes.

      Damn the world trade center must be filled with maniacs if someone thinks crashing a plane into it is necessary…
