Pair charged in explosive device at elementary school; planned to shoot cops, start race war
« on: November 23, 2016, 07:53:15 pm »
A convicted felon who claims he wanted to start a race war is behind bars in connection with the explosives device planted outside of a Trussville elementary school.

Authorities today announced state charges against 35-year-old Zachary Edwards and 34-year-old Raphel Dilligard, both of eastern Birmingham. They are charged with possession of a hoax destructive device, rendering false alarm and making terrorist threats, said Trussville police Capt. Jeff Bridges. The warrants were issued this morning after the week-long probe by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Trussville police, the Alabama State Fire Marshal's Office, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

"My guys believe this individual to be a very dangerous person,'' said Dave Hyche, ATF's assistant special agent in charge in Alabama.

Lawmen responded en masse to Magnolia Elementary School on Wednesday, Nov. 16, after they received a 911 from a woman who reported seeing a Hispanic male place the package on a pickup truck that belonged to a school cafeteria worker. The package was a box with wires and timer attached.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well, it is a shame these people want to start something other people will have to finish. Maybe they have been reading the Turner Diaries or something like that.

Yeah and how come we know we these guys were trying to achieve, but if someone screams aloha snackbar then we may never know their motivations.

That Dylan Roof character, white, I believe also claims he was trying to start a race war when he shot up that church; I thought the Manson family was trying to start a race war back in the day.

Yep. Chucky and 'family' were supposedly trying to start a race war.
