Sigh another nutjob. I wonder if this qualifies as Terrorism though since he threw a bomb.. and that is a WMD.
A Mississippi man allegedly bombed a Walmart storefront Sunday, days after threatening the corporation for no longer selling inventory with the Confederate emblem.
Tupelo authorities caught Marshall Leonard, 61, shortly after he fled the big box stores parking lot in a car with a giant Mississippi flag fluttering out of the sunroof, authorities told the Daily Journal.
He is accused of tossing a small package at the stores front door at around 1:30 a.m. as a Walmart employee stood nearby.
There was an employee on break, and the suspect told him, You better run, Tupelo Police Chief Bart Aguirre told the paper.
The employee bolted without injury from the small blast that caused only minor damages to the Walmart Supercenter on North Gloster Street.
Leonard now faces an explosives charge.
