Domestic terrorism..:"Radical Christian activiists" jailed for attempted church burning in Texas...
Edited on Sun Jul-08-07 05:11 PM by Rowdyboy
Three Burleson men who belong to a "radical Christian activist group" were in the Johnson County Jail on Friday night after a church deacon caught two of them attempting to ignite an explosive device on Independence Day at a church under construction in north Burleson, authorities said Friday.

Cmdr. Chris Havens, the Police Department spokesman, said the suspects boasted about belonging to a leaderless group of 10 or 15 who share a belief that society has become too focused on self-improvement and self-gratification and has lost focus on the glorification of God.

"They believe that the past generations have accumulated trash and are responsible for making younger generations clean up their mess," he said. "They're trying to make a statement and get society's attention regarding that."

"We put them in the category of a domestic terrorist group," Havens said. "We hope to discover the names of other individuals involved and if other devices have been prepared along with any plans they may be talking about to further their cause."

Mr Ragon apparently is a bit of a moran....

"Police said Mr. Ragon was trying to destroy evidence of explosive-making and gasoline.
But Mr. Ragon did not realize he was standing in a puddle of gasoline when the fire was lit."

1. Well, at least the local PD is calling them "terrorists". That's a start. nm

2. Conservative talk radio will nominate these thugs for sainthood. I'll bet some
loose change on that.

4. Sounds like the law of natural selection would take care of them anyway,
but hopefully the police can get them all before they hurt anyone else.
