Men could face terrorism-related and weapons charges after officials say explosive ‘had been lit but failed to function’

Authorities in Utah say two men have been arrested on suspicion of placing an incendiary device under a news media vehicle in Salt Lake City. The bomb didn’t go off.

Police and fire department bomb squads responded on Friday when a suspicious device was found under the vehicle parked near an occupied building.

Investigators determined the bomb “had been lit but failed to function as designed”, according to court records cited by CBS affiliate KUTV.

Geee, it’s almost as if Republicans are violent and hateful.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But they are so "pro-life".

Charlie Kirk was pro life. He died pretty damned quick.

Not even that. If they were pro-birth, they'd at least be in favor of easy access to prenatal healthcare. But they're always opposed to that, too.

They're just pro-pregnancy. They don't give a shit if a woman's pregnancy is viable or not, let alone whether carrying the fetus to term will kill the woman or not.

[–] III@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Anti-choice is most appropriate. They don't care if a woman becomes pregnant as long as the woman is subservient.

They ran off with a rhetoric without any facts first, showed everyone how violent they want to be, the facts now show that their rhetoric was ignorant bullshit, they still want to be violent anyway so they’re going to do it in the name of their original rhetoric, facts be damned. They are just violent psychopaths. Stay strapped with that scum walking amongst us

Johnny Harris just did a video about his time as a Mormon and how rich the church is

Wait, Jason Segal was in SLC Punk? I've only seen it once, way back in highschool and I must not have known who he was back then. Huh.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's all straight-laced, but the most punk of them all.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, It's kind of coming back to me. I guess I just didn't know who he was at the time. How does the movie hold up, worth a rewatch in 2025?

American stochastic terrorism

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago

Yep, we're starting to see the results of 40+ years of very dark, very violent propaganda

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Just the usual right wing terrorism.

[–] UnculturedSwine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Mormonism and narcissism. I say this as a former Mormon from Utah. They are not as peaceful as they seem.

[–] cyberwitch@reddthat.com 8 points 1 day ago

High profile Mormon crime in the past 10 years alone is pretty staggering

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Whole show called American Primeval about the Mormons. Great miniseries.

[–] Hector@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Magic underwear went on sale, they are channeling the strength of the morman faith!

They are one of the most conservative States, they usually rack up near 70% Republican and Libertarians are not an insignificant number of the rest. Even though they claimed to hate the president.

Hmmm I sure wonder which side these two guys belonged to.......

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Definitely liberal democratic socialists. Definitely.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They probably have pro-trans ideologies

[–] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most probably even worse: Anti-car ideologies, even trying to destroy a car

What was the bomb wearing?

that van's skirt was way too short

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"Had been lit", was it like a stick of dynamite?

[–] Hector@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

In the guardian one line sort of suggested an incendiary, but then later in searching the house they said explosive material. There is a huge difference between actual explosives and incendiaries. Gasoline and dynamite are completely different animals.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

i don't trust the news to get the difference between high explosives, explosives, firebombs, and potato guns.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

potato guns.

That's obviously a Glock...

Is there any difference between high and sober explosives other than quantity?

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 2 points 20 hours ago

My guess... It was anfo but they tried to set it off with a bit of string that they lit.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I recommend watching “murder among the Mormons” on Netflix.

under the banner of heaven is great too. depicts leaving a cult quite honestly

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Looks like right wing Muslims playing the smart game and provoking the nazis I to do what they always wanted to do.

Fuck both of them.
