A Missouri man on Thursday pleaded guilty to trying to fire-bomb the local office of Missouri U.S. Democratic Representative Emanuel Cleaver using two bottles filled with charcoal lighter fluid, prosecutors said.

Eric King, 29, of Kansas City, a self-proclaimed anarchist, pleaded guilty to using explosive materials to commit arson on Sept. 11, 2014, the U.S. Attorney's office said in a statement.

In an incident caught on security video, King threw a hammer through the west window, and lit the two Molotov cocktails before throwing them. The first bounced off the side of the building, but the second went through the window, prosecutors said. King then ran from the office.

No one was in the building at the time, no fire was started and no injuries were reported, according to an affidavit attached to the criminal complaint.

Black politicians get these sociopaths wild. I'm so glad Rep. Cleaver was not harmed.

4. I'm from Missouri

in fact the KC area. We always joked that these people were from Independence. But now you see them even out in the counties surrounding Jackson. The meth labs have moved to the counties. Another wannabe who failed and glad he did.
