The American Taliban strikes again, and it was at Liberty University none the less. A 19 year old member of the American Taliban was arrested after authorities were alerted by a relative. Five of the devices were found in the trunk of his car. Made of “gasoline and detergent”, the devices were described as “slow burn” by a law enforcement official. Assisting the Virgina State Police in the investigation, is the ATF(Bureau of Booze, Smokes, and Gats), along with the FBI(Federal Bureau of Intimidation). Three other suspects are being sought, and among them, “is a high school student” and a “soldier from Fort Benning, Ga.”
Even in death, the Rev. Jerry Falwell rouses the most volatile of emotions.
A small group of protesters gathered near the funeral services to criticize the man who mobilized Christian evangelicals and made them a major force in American politics — often by playing on social prejudices.
A group of students from Falwell’s Liberty University staged a counterprotest.
And Campbell County authorities arrested a Liberty University student for having several homemade bombs in his car.
The student, 19-year-old Mark D. Uhl of Amissville, Va., reportedly told authorities that he was making the bombs to stop protesters from disrupting the funeral service. The devices were made of a combination of gasoline and detergent, a law enforcement official told ABC News’ Pierre Thomas. They were “slow burn,” according to the official, and would not have been very destructive.
73 year old Falwell, known as the “father of the Christian conservative movement” made the world a better place last week, when he took on a “cut and run” policy with life. Like the poison he was, he continued his legacy through others. Haters and bigots in the name of GOD. Even his funeral, became an example of religious fanaticism. It is also worthy of note that:
No national Republicans attended Tuesday’s funeral, including none of the GOP presidential candidates. All said they were too busy.
