If you're gonna blow up something, maybe assemble the device before you arrive on scene?

>can build bomb materials from scratch, cannot common sense

This is why we keep chemists locked up in the first place.

Isn't it safer and easier to use a chain and a truck? Anywho, anyone who builds a bomb used to destroy property or worse kill people has the intent to terrorize.

Calling the would-be bomber a domestic terrorist implies that he intended to create fear (terror). From the evidence, it seems that he is instead a vandal. And a vandal of great danger to the public at that.

He is also doing what Trumpolini and his Redhats would like. He's providing ammunition for their fictional narratives of oppression and equivalence, and an excuse for the police state they would like to create.

Everyone opposed to the wanna-be fascists needs to understand and make  it clear that fascism in America can be smashed without foolhardy and dangerous stunts like this. Legally remove Trump from office. Oppose his aspiring Nazi supporters with all possible lawful means (and yes, that does include self defense from the violent thugs motivated by the President).

In the middle of the night, where no one will get hurt. Calling it terrorism is ridiculous.
