Sean Patrick Palmer, of Oklahoma, arrested after explosive device found last week near porch of Satanic Temple in Massachusetts

An Oklahoma man was arrested on Thursday morning in last week’s bombing attempt of a Satanic Temple in Massachusetts.

Sean Patrick Palmer, 49, of Perkins, Oklahoma, was arrested on charges of “using an explosive to cause damage to a building used in interstate or foreign commerce”, the United States’ attorney office for the district of Massachusetts said in a statement.

The Satanic Temple does not actually worship the devil or believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural, but rather uses Satan as a symbol of free will, humanism and anti-authoritarianism. It regularly angers rightwingers and Christians.

    I really don’t like even considering the idea of sterilization as a punishment for crimes. It’s Nazi shit.

      Nah it’s western fascist shit. The British did it to Alan Turing, in the 50s.

        Alan was chemically castrated not physically. Yes they absolutely did do that, it was punishment for homosexuality.

        But you’re right it’s the behavior of fascists unwilling to kill their targets

      When their indoctrinated child brings a gun to school or comes along to murder your family with a cowardly pipe bomb, tell them that

            nope! doesn’t keep this terrorist out of society, either.

            he’d probably hate being castrated, but should be excited about death penalty, if he really believes. less harm(less than zero?) to him, more benefit to us, win/win.

        I know too many LGBT people whose parents hate them for it to buy that a child always ends up like their parent.
