Domestic Terrorist leaves jar filled with explosive chemicals at NC airport

RALEIGH, N.C. -- A man planted a Mason jar filled with explosive chemicals and nails at a western North Carolina airport last week and vowed to "fight a war on U.S. soil," according to court documents released Tuesday.

The criminal complaint written by an FBI agent said investigators found the improvised explosive device Friday morning at the Asheville airport near a terminal entrance. Asheville police bomb technicians then rendered it safe.

The complaint accuses Michael Christopher Estes of attempted malicious use of explosive materials and unlawful possession of explosives at an airport.

Estes was arrested Saturday, and the complaint says he admitted leaving the explosive device at the airport. The complaint states that Estes "claimed he was getting ready to 'fight a war on U.S. soil,'" but didn't elaborate on this alleged motive.

1. I note that you called him a terrorist, but they didn't. White guy after all.

Dear Leader will probably call him a "fine person."

4. Even better: It's not his fault, the Muslims forced him to do it!

Someone said this about Breivik. He's now member of the German parliament. His name is Jens Maier, and he's also a judge at a German court. Just great! Those are truly fine people.

Emphasis added:

Did you know that last Friday a guy tried to set off a bomb in a terrorist attack at the airport in Asheville, North Carolina?

snip

The materials used to make the bomb were traced back to Estes, who confessed to “preparing to fight a war on U.S. soil.”

Now imagine if Estes had been a Muslim. Or black. Donald Trump would have tweeted all weekend about it. It would be headlining the news.

Now that right there? That’s white privilege gone insane.
