Such a shame to see someone so young committing horrible acts. Gotta wonder what the fuck made him that way. Probably horrible parenting, again. Maybe home-schooled. Fell in with a bad crowd. Some of the potentially best years of your life, just thrown away.

Protesting a drag show that hadn't even happened yet? What an enormous idiot.

Only 20 and he threw his life away over a drag show. Well, obviously anyone who thinks that way deserves the sentence if they commit the crime!

I'm intrigued that a church would have an inclusive event to welcome people in drag.

But this dude's life is probably not impacted at all by them having the event. Don't like drag events? Then don't go to them. No weapons or explosives needed. No need to terrorize Americans.

However, it seems very focused on LGBT rights based on their website.
It probably has a significant LGBT congregation

They have been supportive of sexual orientation issues since 1993.

It's a nice balance to the many hateful churches out there.

Maybe his cellmate will be a gay bodybuilder.
Loooong nine years.

He's clearly a bully and a racist homophobe. Sounds like a fitting cell mate to me.
What did you think I meant?

This sentence seems exorbitant. I wold think 5-7 would be sufficient for this defendant in this case.

Reducuing ridiculous sentencing helps everybody, especially the most vulnerable in our society.

It's all down hill from here for him.

I've lived most of my life in Pennsylvania, right next door to Ohio, and I've always thought the people of Ohio were just like us. Mostly nice neighbors, people who are tolerant of others, nobody I know that would bomb a church.

including one of my BILs and one of his brothers as well as a bunch of his nieces and nephews who scattered to the winds. Many of his friends left as well. He and his family are from Dayton (he still has another brother and a sister there in the area).

Two of my sisters and one brother went to University of Dayton. They left after graduating, but still it was almost 10 years of family members living there. Another sister went to Miami of Ohio. Also a sister lived in Columbus for several years. Another brother has settled and raised his family in Dublin which is a suburb of Columbus.

Ohio really was like PA for so many years, but now it seems to have done a 180. I don't know, maybe we're just selecting out certain types of news stories.....

after everyone saw what happened with Florida and Bush v Gore in 2000, and that's when all kinds of shady and draconian things started up in the state (Ken Blackwell crap).

Obama was the last (D) to win OH in 2008, and by 2010, the teabaggers took over with Citizen's United and the 2010 census, eventually leading to the gerrymandering the hell out of it, and imposition of all the voting restrictions (some eventually rolled back but with others that are probably back in place again). Kasich sealed the fate back then.
