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.
I didn’t either, but that probably implies they are white christofacists, right? (Or, as the Utah governor put it, “one of us”?)
If their demographic was any different and fit the narratives that the Right is trying to spin on this, it would have been leaked already…
The Utah governor used “one of us” to mean a member of their local community.
I get why it’s such a fun sound bite but it comes across as dumb as the right yelling let’s go Brandon
and by a member of their local community he meant a member of their church,
i lived there, i know their dogwhistles
It’s probably best not to make assumptions before we know for sure.
Same as the motivations behind Charlie Kirk’s shooter should not have been assumed to have been either left or right until we know for sure.
Right, but we can make educated deductions based on what we know. I tend to agree that (as with the case with Kirk’s killer), if any politics left of center were involved, we likely would have heard about it already.
You’re correct, but you are also assuming the media is honest. If I am correct in my assumption that the media (or, at least the mega corporations that own them) are carefully curating favor with the administration, then if these people were “on the right” we’ll be told that they are “on the left” anyway.
You are correct, but I will say, their fascist in chief has been demonizing the media, and the right has a track record of domestic terrorism, so while it is possible they were progressive people, chances are they were conservatives
