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.

    Not Republican, MAGA. Republicans don’t exist anymore. And we know they were MAGA, because the bomb didn’t go off, because MAGAs are predictably virtuosically incompetent. If they were Democrats, the bomb would have worked.

    Also Republicans are too cowardly to try to bomb anything. MAGAs are cowardly, too, but the are also breath-takingly stupid, so their stupidity often overwhelms their cowardice, and they do remarkably dumb stuff, like try to storm the Capitol.
