That Little Domestic Terrorism Problem Of Ours

It's baaaaaaaaack.

Two men were arrested when police found a pipe bomb, two shotguns, bomb-making materials, ammunition, a can of propane and SWAT costumes in their car Tuesday night in New Haven, Conn.

So far the police don't have a clear sense of what the pair were planning to do, New Haven Police spokesman Officer Joe Avery told TPM.

"They're not talking much," Avery said.

Police received a call just before midnight about a suspicious car with weapons on the backseat, he said. Police surrounded the car, a Mercedes, and pulled the two men out. A bomb squad detonated the pipe bomb.

The men, John Iannucci, 38, of Branford, Conn., and Jessup Bowllinger, 27, of New Haven, were charged with the manufacture of bombs, illegal possession of explosives, illegally transporting explosives and having a shotgun in a vehicle. Bowllinger was also charged with criminal possession of a firearm. The two are being held on $500,000 bond each, said New Haven Police spokesman Officer Joe Avery, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is also investigating.

The New Haven Register has reported that one of the men was arrested earlier this year for making a bomb, and his case is still pending in Superior Court.

As Steven D over at BooMan's place puts it:

I'm sure they must be followers of The One, right? Part of his master plan to subvert our Republic and form an Islamocommiefascist Tyranny in which small children will be trained to rat out their Republican parents, and the Federal Government will intrude on every aspect of our lives, even enforcing laws which tell us what we can and cannot eat, drink or smoke.

Pray tell, what were these fine gentlemen planning to do with all this weaponry? I'm betting we'll find out when the inevitable next group of "patriots" evades the law and shows us all what years of paranoid ranting and scaremongering by the Wingers leads to.

But no, we don't have a domestic terrorist problem in America...

One of these assholes was out on bail after being arrested for making a bomb and was out driving around, why? Would they have been allowed out on bail if they were say, of Pakistani or Iranian descent?
