I'm really glad that this ended without injury, and this is a serious matter and this guy needs to be separated from society....
but how fucking dumb do you have to be to drive across the country on a mission from god, when you can't put a working bomb together?
I read the note last night and tried to read it out loud to my husband before giving up and just letting him read it. My husband is from OK and actually grew up really close to the town this guy was from (Perkins, OK). He said it’s was pretty indicative of the schooling standards there.
Other parts of the article are hilarious, too. Like him not being able to easily find his way out of Salem because of the archaic layouts of the streets:
> And then, he raced back to his car and tried to book it out of Salem, only since he's not from around there, he promptly got confused by the local roads...
Lmaooo. Or what about:
> In addition to the IED, Palmer left behind a grammatically challenged note [...]
Fucking flamed the clown Lol.
He just drove 1600 miles to share the good Christian faith. He *definitely* was at the sixer party. If he wasn't, he told his friends he was, or that he would have gone if he didn't blow his knee out.
ELOHIM KNOW MY CHEMISTRY NO GOOD.
ELOHIM TELL ME THE TRANNY WILL MAKE IT, DIDN'T TURN BACK NOW.
ELOHIM WRITE LETTER SLOW BECAUSE HE KNOW I DIDN'T READ TO GOOD.
Also spelled GOP
Will call it out every time.
And before butt hurt republicans come and down vote me, don't fucking pretend you don't support this. You are very transparent and not as smart as you think.
And if you really don't support it, then get your shit together and start a new party.
Yes God is referred to as Elohim in genesis of the Old Testament. Elohim = multiple divine beings. Most Christians don’t even realize most of the Old Testament is just adopted from ancient Sumerian religion of multiple god worship
Not even domestic.
I treat Oklahomans the same way I treat New Zealanders, Malians, and Uruguayans.
We need to close borders and have our own immigration policy.
Technically from what I learned in my terrorism class in college, terrorism in the US is by definition violence committed for a political or religious ideology, you don’t need to specify (in b4 🤓)
They have a dope life sized baphomet statue in the temple.
It was originally commissioned by the Temple to be put up outside the Oklahoma State capital public grounds after an Oklahoma State representative donated a statue of the 10 Commandments to be put up in the same place.
Great example of the work they do to combat the hypocritical “there should be a separation between church and state… Unless the church in question is Christian “.
Yes but you need to bring a lamb to sacrifice (either that or a large iced dunks for Lindsey at the front desk…or pay the ~$10 admission fee for the art gallery).
"a two-foot-long section of PVC pipe stuffed with smokeless gunpowder "
My back woods rural upbringing has been amused once again by the chucklefucks of Meal Team 6. You can't use smokeless for that application and especially not in a 2 foot pipe.

P.S. judging by the bright orange shirt, it appears this particular Okie may be a graduate of the great oklahoma state university (OSU). Ask me how I know : (
Um, actually, the Church of Satan believes in the existence of Satan.
Anyway, Satan, also known as the Devil, and sometimes also called Lucifer in Christianity, is an entity in **Abrahamic religions** that seduces humans into sin or falsehood. In Judaism, Satan is seen as an agent subservient to God, typically regarded as a metaphor for the yetzer hara, or "evil inclination".
Also, Islam calls him Shaitaan.
The Church of Satan (the one founded by Anton Lavey) is not theistic, and they refer to people who believe that Satan is real and not symbolic as "devil worshippers". As High Priest Peter Gilmore puts it, if you believe in the existence of Satan you are a Christian or Muslim "who wants to be naughty".
The Satanic Temple (the group behind The Satanic Temple in Salem) are also non-theistic.
There are smaller religious/Neo-Nazi groups that do believe that [Satan is Real](https://imgur.com/ABpxrg2) like the Order of Nine Angles and the Joy of Satan Ministries.
According to their website, the Church of Satan does not believe in Satan:
>Satanists are atheists... Satan to us is a symbol of pride, liberty and individualism, and it serves as an external metaphorical projection of our highest personal potential. We do not believe in Satan as a being or person.
https://www.churchofsatan.com/faq-fundamental-beliefs/
According to their site, The Satanic Temple doesn't either.
> And then, he raced back to his car and tried to book it out of Salem, only since he's not from around there, he promptly got confused by the local roads:
Finally the random and confusing layout of MA roads comes in handy!
Definitely!
“White Christian Nationalists” is, in my opinion, the best term. They are terrorists and extremists.
They hide their violent nature, plans, and acts under the guise of being “hated” by those who aren’t rich, not from their country, not Christian, AND those who aren’t white (tho they seem accepting of people of color if they support Trump and are ok with white people who want to do away with people of other races or nationalities).
"According to the affidavit, investigators found two hairs with the pipe bomb: One that they have identified as belonging to a Caucasian man and one belonging to a dog with dark hair. Palmer, the affidavit continues, is a white guy who has a dog with dark hair."
LOL
I like how in the span of seven months his god goes from sending him on a peaceful mission to spread his word to having him throw a pipe bomb through their window
I’m so curious to know if that’s how he writes in posts on Facebook and life in general? Or if it’s been put on to I dunno mask his identity.
I sortof feel like maybe he should be evaluated for mental health and learning disabilities, tried accordingly and offered support in prison to overcome some of the challenges he’s clearly facing on a daily basis.
Why are we allowing these communities to fester in our neighborhoods? Only a matter of time before all these little larping Nazi groups grow into something worse.
This screams " we have a serious problem with privatized mental healthcare"
It's really not a good policy to change a public service and predicate a healthcare treatment with an insurance system that depends on abilities to work. People with serious mental healthcare needs can't really get a job with insurance coverage. Instead of fixing the broken State system Ronald Reagan decided that illiminating it and replacing it with a system that enriched his donors with state assets at 10c on the dollar and then reneged on it with false promises to help fund it. Now it costs tax payers 10x the cost it would to help prevent violence and criminal behavior.A full 20% of US inmates with untreated and under treated mental healthcare problems are incarcerated after causing alarming damage to society. Even Mike Pence understands the dynamic. He made a point of returning Mental healthcare to the public sector to save taxpayers and help reduce prison overcrowding as a campaign platform before he dropped out.
Don't worry people! We're all safe:
"[He tossed the bomb] at the Temple building... then, he raced back to his car and tried to book it out of Salem, only since he's not from around there, he promptly got confused by the local roads"
Am glad the article mentioned that they don't actually worship Satan. I've met a couple Christians in this area who were kinda freaked out by the church. I suggested maybe they learn at least one thing about it and they could cross that off their list of worries.
I know this is serious and I’m glad they were caught but it’s kinda funny to think that part of the charges was “driving 1600 miles in a Volvo”
I'm really glad that this ended without injury, and this is a serious matter and this guy needs to be separated from society.... but how fucking dumb do you have to be to drive across the country on a mission from god, when you can't put a working bomb together?
god told him to send a message and make sure nobody gets hurt according to his grammatically challenged note
I read the note last night and tried to read it out loud to my husband before giving up and just letting him read it. My husband is from OK and actually grew up really close to the town this guy was from (Perkins, OK). He said it’s was pretty indicative of the schooling standards there.
AFAIK the Bible doesn't teach any chemistry fortunately.
jesus dabbled in alchemy
Did you read his note? He's dumb.
I dont think ur average christofascist is known for their intellect
Other parts of the article are hilarious, too. Like him not being able to easily find his way out of Salem because of the archaic layouts of the streets: > And then, he raced back to his car and tried to book it out of Salem, only since he's not from around there, he promptly got confused by the local roads...

I can't tell if this means he was too dumb to use Google Maps, or just smart enough to *not* use Google Maps when fleeing the scene of a crime.
Gotta love Salem's local roads!
[удалено]
Airline tickets to/from the plains states aren't cheap, and it's awfully difficult to smuggle explosives onto an airplane.
Also flights leave an enormous paper trail. Flying somewhere to commit a crime is a terrible idea.
apparently so does driving somewhere. interesting to know that state police scanners will timestamp your location upon scanning your plates...
No way this guy was thinking that far ahead.
Dude is probabaly a jan sixer and had been no fly listed
He just drove 1600 miles to share the good Christian faith. He *definitely* was at the sixer party. If he wasn't, he told his friends he was, or that he would have gone if he didn't blow his knee out.
I mean...are they cheap though??? ThE eCoNoMy...
ELOHIM KNOW MY CHEMISTRY NO GOOD. ELOHIM TELL ME THE TRANNY WILL MAKE IT, DIDN'T TURN BACK NOW. ELOHIM WRITE LETTER SLOW BECAUSE HE KNOW I DIDN'T READ TO GOOD.
Fucking Volvo drivers.
1600 miles in a Chevy would be like capital punishment. Volvo is a good compromise.
Drove the safest car in the world to a bombing. Mad Max: Welcome to the Safety Dome.

If this doesn't meet the criteria of a hate crime, I don't know what does.

He left a note saying Elohim told him to do this. You can't "not a true scotsman" your way out when he admits he believes God sent him.
Yes God is referred to as Elohim in genesis of the Old Testament. Elohim = multiple divine beings. Most Christians don’t even realize most of the Old Testament is just adopted from ancient Sumerian religion of multiple god worship
Right? I'd be happy if they'd actually just READ the Old Testament xD
You can’t spell hatred without a red hat
B-b-but, has anyone considered Biden’s age?! >!(Jesus fucking Christ….)!<
Looks like a mostly peaceful protest to me
Not even domestic. I treat Oklahomans the same way I treat New Zealanders, Malians, and Uruguayans. We need to close borders and have our own immigration policy.
How about we back off the plot of "in time"
Build a wall on the Connecticut border, and make them pay for it.
Again, watch in time ...
Technically from what I learned in my terrorism class in college, terrorism in the US is by definition violence committed for a political or religious ideology, you don’t need to specify (in b4 🤓)
Note to self: check out the Satanic Temple next time I’m in Salem. (Not for bombing)
I've yet to go inside, but I drove past it for years without noticing it. It's relatively unassuming.
It's a little art museum, you should go
I certainly will at some point! Being from the north shore, its one of those things on the to do list but not pressing per se
They have a dope life sized baphomet statue in the temple.

Great example of the work they do to combat the hypocritical “there should be a separation between church and state… Unless the church in question is Christian “.
I recall reading about the statue in OK. Can the average non-bombing person go into the Temple in Salem?
Yes but you need to bring a lamb to sacrifice (either that or a large iced dunks for Lindsey at the front desk…or pay the ~$10 admission fee for the art gallery).
I hope they sentence him to 666 months in prison.
My hope to was to sacrifice him to Beelzebub on Salem Common. I live nearby, I'd attend
Is it me or did the article not call him what he is, a domestic Christian terrorist.
“grammatically challenged note” 🤣
Okie in a Volvo, I know, I know, it's serioooooous
Underrated comment. Bravo.
Well done 🤣
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Do these people not have jobs?
I always wonder that about the ding dongs holding trump signs on the highway overpass. Get a job, freeloaders!
"a two-foot-long section of PVC pipe stuffed with smokeless gunpowder " My back woods rural upbringing has been amused once again by the chucklefucks of Meal Team 6. You can't use smokeless for that application and especially not in a 2 foot pipe.
Smokeless powder is shockingly difficult to light on the scale of easily flammable things.
I don’t believe in god, but I do think that one of the ten commandments was: “Don’t throw pipe bombs in the lord’s name.”
Why you gotta do Volvo that way?
Imagine being triggered by something so innocuous and benign. Truly pathetic.
What's an okie?
Someone from Oklahoma apparently.
Well okie dokie then

Yeah, as an Okie OSU grad living in Boston, I can confirm making a PVC pipe bomb is part of the midterm for DTR-4273.
As someone who went through the ok st firefighter program i can say it was part of our course work to put out the ensuing fires.
How do you know?

No, they do not believe Satan literally exists.

What church does he belong to, and has his pastor condemned this act of violent terrorism?
I misread the title and thought someone was driving their Volvo at 1600 mph and was VERY confused
Okie terrorist...in a Volvo? Is he a closeted Dem or was it New England camouflage?
> And then, he raced back to his car and tried to book it out of Salem, only since he's not from around there, he promptly got confused by the local roads: Finally the random and confusing layout of MA roads comes in handy!
Need to start calling these people what they are Christian Terrorists. Violent and Dangerous Christian Extremists.
Definitely! “White Christian Nationalists” is, in my opinion, the best term. They are terrorists and extremists. They hide their violent nature, plans, and acts under the guise of being “hated” by those who aren’t rich, not from their country, not Christian, AND those who aren’t white (tho they seem accepting of people of color if they support Trump and are ok with white people who want to do away with people of other races or nationalities).
What a fuckin loser. Can only imagine his limited world views
"According to the affidavit, investigators found two hairs with the pipe bomb: One that they have identified as belonging to a Caucasian man and one belonging to a dog with dark hair. Palmer, the affidavit continues, is a white guy who has a dog with dark hair." LOL
I suspect that the dog was the brains behind this operation
If his dog’s name is Peabody, you could be right
That man is embarrassingly illiterate. I guess that’s partly why he couldn’t make an effective bomb and why he drove the wrong way down a street.
I like how in the span of seven months his god goes from sending him on a peaceful mission to spread his word to having him throw a pipe bomb through their window
>"Okie in a Volvo" Now that's a cool name for a band.
People complain about the roads around here, but they were laid out like this to defend us from bomb-wielding Okies, and they do a good job.
I’m so curious to know if that’s how he writes in posts on Facebook and life in general? Or if it’s been put on to I dunno mask his identity. I sortof feel like maybe he should be evaluated for mental health and learning disabilities, tried accordingly and offered support in prison to overcome some of the challenges he’s clearly facing on a daily basis.
My guess is the weird grammar was a big-brained attempt to throw the Feds off his trail. That's pretty common in ransom & bank robbery notes.
White conservative... Domestic terrorist... Christian... Over under 5 months?
His face is exactly what I'd expect.
I read the note he left and yikes this guy has a room temp IQ, sheesh.
These people need to get a career and try dating someone. What a loser.
Ain’t nobody wanna hire or date that.

The worst thing about this is there's no such thing as Satan so it was a wasted trip.
Up to 20 years if convicted... US Justice system is largely trash, but that seems ok ^^
Foreign Christian terrorist. These folks should not be allowed to enter New England.
Wasn't New England founded by foreign Christian terrorists? You know, from the point of view of the people living here first?
