Never a premature detonation when you need one.

I expect a full federal investigation into this latest case of domestic terrorism. Maybe they can just expand the Charlottesville investigation that AG Sessions announced to include all such terrorist acts from all sides.

I'm seeing reports that the bomber had ties to Antifa. The MSM is remarkably accepting of the lack of condemnation from Pelosi, Schumer, etc. Maybe they realized that they made a mistake condemning Trump and that it is not absolutely necessary to immediately condemn violent attacks committed by terrorist hate groups.

Or maybe it's something else.....

Great. I just spit sunflower seeds all over my monitor.

Swallowing nitroglycerine! That's worse than playing with dynamite.

Too bad it wasnt TATP! When he took a swig it would have been a self correcting problem.

I'm actually surprised him taking a swig of it that the Nitro didn't drop his blood pressure and he at least passed out if not kill him! People are nutz!

It couldn't have been that concentrated, otherwise I am sure he would be DEAD!

Considering medicinal Nitroglycerin tablets are 0.04 mg, it really doesn't take much, the max I can give a patient is 3 or 0.12 mg!
I'm thinking this guy may have had a very weak batch, I know how to make Nitro, but the stuff is so volatile you'd be a fool to try it!

I just read that the guy has a chemistry degree and that he was previously arrested and received probation for storing explosives. They let him out of
probation a year early because according to his lawyer "Schneck is not a risk to public safety nor is there a history of violence," During the period of
his probation he went to college and graduated with a degree in chemistry.

So on the off chance that his lawyer was telling the truth, this guy was not a risk to public safety until he went to a University where he was radicalized. Sounds about right.

I am not a doctor, but I think he probably has mental issues.

"None of this is surprising," the former classmate said. "He seems a bit disconnected from reality."
