The Secret Service has arrested an individual for allegedly driving into the Ten Commandments monument near the State Capitol building.

Officials say someone drove their car into monument Thursday night, smashing it to pieces. The suspect reportedly made vague threats at the Oklahoma City Federal Building today and was taken into custody. His name has not yet been released.

The suspect said Satan told him to do it, Secret Service officials said. He also reportedly said he would kill President Obama and spit on a photo of Obama. The suspect also allegedly admitted that he urinated on the Ten Commandments monument before running it over.

1. I wish I could say I'm sad about the "monument"...

but...I'm not.

I just wish there was some crazy FundieBaggers that had told him to do it.

[Enrique]

2. so if Satanists hate Obama

does this mean the RW will start liking Satanists?

[notadmblnd]

5. Satanists love them some Republicans. If I'm not mistaken there is a Satanic church in Florida

that has public ally endorsed Rep Gov Rick Scott.

[VanillaRhapsody]

27. I KNOW.....I met this Wiccan chick who was a Republican in the Deep South once...

I was gobsmacked.....could not wrap my mind around that concept at all! And here I thought it was a "one off"!! NOT that they are Satanists....just an alternative religion that would seem persecuted and marginalized by Republicans....

[notadmblnd]

31. Personally, I'm of the opinion that Republicans are kindred souls with Satanists.

I read a book once. The name of it was "The Ultimate Evil" I believe it was written by Maury Terry. It was about the Son of Sam murders and how it was tied in with Satanic cults along with child porn and snuff films and politicians.

The author claimed it all to be true. It was a disturbing read. If you're into crime stories like that, you should see if you can get a hold of it to read.

[VanillaRhapsody]

32. Eeeek....I didn't know all that....if that's true....the Republicans can have them for all I care!

[awoke_in_2003]

34. As mind boggling as Log Cabin Republicans. nt

[Dont call me Shirley]

29. Or they will become Satanists

If they already are not

[wolfie001]

3. Oh yeah, Fox News viewer not doubt. lol

or

[Kelvin Mace]

right. So, now I will here never ending stories about the rising danger of Christian terrorism.

I won't hold my breath.

[KeepItReal]

12. "Satan told him to do it"

eom

[amandabeech]

14. That should earn him a trip to the psyche ward pronto.

Persons who hear voices telling them to do things usually need to be checked for schizophrenia.

Thank heavens he's been caught.

[Fred Sanders]

19. Christian terrorists like this represent all of Christiantiry, right? Big, broad brush should also

be used, right?

[jtuck004]

6. Someone broke all the commandments. Well, not the first time, but it may be

a Guinness world record for doing them all at once.

Good job!

[F4lconF16]

15. DUzy!

[jtuck004]

16. Oh, and as a born and bred okie of OKC for 50+ years, now ex-okie, I think the capital looks

much better

Some church ought to gather up the pieces, auction them off, and have a big feed for everyone in the neighborhood. They live on very little not too far from that capital with all the oil wells around it.

[progressoid]

7. Yeah, I broke a few commandments too.

But Satan didn't make me do it.

[BadGimp]

8. the comedy writes itself

[avebury]

9. Why on earth were the Secret Service

involved in this case and not either the State Police, OSBI and local police? I don't get it.

[jeff47]

10. It's in the OP

He also reportedly said he would kill President Obama

[NYC Liberal]

11. "He also reportedly said he would kill President Obama and spit on a photo of Obama"

That'll do it.

[SeattleVet]

13. I thought that it might have just been some random guy...

with a 'Moses' complex. Remember, he broke all the 'commandments' at once, too!

[jtuck004]

17. I thought Moses just broke a third of them?

20. Greatest scene from the greatest movie

[Bucky]

18. This is not how Americans resolve conflicts

Dude's loco, of course. Satan never tells me to do anything more harmful than try to get on the Metro bus without paying.

The only thing this will do is rile up the natives.

[jtuck004]

21. Have we fired any drones into Afghanistan or Pakistan today, because we saw kids playing

in the mud beside the road and decided from our lofty perch that they might be terrorists?

Not how we resolve conflicts? It's how we handle everything. Ask black folk, union workers, children in school if you don't believe me. Violence is the American Way Of Life. We love it, and profit from it so much we won't do the things necessary to shut it down. We would rather continue to watch cable in our comfy little homes. The ones who still have them, anyway.

(You can google the stories about Afghanistan - more than one. I'm sick of it)

[JI7]

22. so how do wingnuts deal with this, the guy is doing what satan did and destroys christian monument

but he hates the president also.

[GreydeeThos]

23. I read the article, but my mind only hears "False Flag" n/t

[armed_and_liberal]

24. Wow! He managed to break all Ten Commandments at once

Gonna take a whole lotta penance to fix that shit!

[randys1]

28. LOL

[Bucky]

25. Isn't this exactly what Moses did with his first copy?

It's actually a rather touching tribute, when you look at it that way.


(Um, except for the peeing on it bit)

[randys1]

26. Guarantee you this is a rightwing christian doing this to make Satanists look bad or atheists

The monument is an embarrassment to americans
