Sean Patrick Palmer, of Oklahoma, arrested after explosive device found last week near porch of Satanic Temple in Massachusetts

An Oklahoma man was arrested on Thursday morning in last week’s bombing attempt of a Satanic Temple in Massachusetts.

Sean Patrick Palmer, 49, of Perkins, Oklahoma, was arrested on charges of “using an explosive to cause damage to a building used in interstate or foreign commerce”, the United States’ attorney office for the district of Massachusetts said in a statement.

The Satanic Temple does not actually worship the devil or believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural, but rather uses Satan as a symbol of free will, humanism and anti-authoritarianism. It regularly angers rightwingers and Christians.

Ah yes, the Christian is peace loving by default... in that they would blow things in to pieces if the mood is right.

There's no hate like Christian love.

One day you may wake up in an unreasonable cult! And you may ask yourself, "How did I get here?!"

Investigators said they were able to connect Palmer to the incident with a single human hair found on the pipe bomb containing a DNA profile from a Caucasian male, who matched Palmer’s description.

This is almost certainly horseshit.

I give 10:1 odds that he had an FBI Informant snitch or otherwise set him up

Parallel construction at its finest. Informant is possible, but my guess is digital data obtained from data brokers or dragnet surveillance like PRISM or the DHS total Domain Awareness stuff.

I always find it funny how PRISM is also the program the government uses to draft contracts to buy stuff.

Fun fact, even if you personally don't, you just need a few relatives to do it to identify your family, and then it's only one hop to you. They've identified serial killers and rapists and such this way.

I'm happy the feds claimed jurisdiction on this, but ”used in interstate or foreign commerce" just sounds funny to me in this situation.
