Another anti-govt. idiot is arrested.

A Sayre, Oklahoma, man was arrested early Saturday morning in connection with a plot to detonate a vehicle bomb in downtown Oklahoma City.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Jerry Drake Varnell, 23 was arrested early Saturday morning in connection with a plot to detonate a vehicle bomb at BancFirst, 101 N. Broadway, announced Mark A. Yancey, United States Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma.


According to a criminal complaint filed in the Western District of Oklahoma yesterday, the FBI arrested Varnell at approximately 1 a.m. after he attempted to detonate what he believed to be an explosives-laden van he had parked in an alley next to BancFirst. The complaint alleges that Varnell initially wanted to blow up the Federal Reserve Building in Washington, D.C., with a device similar to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing because he was upset with the government.

This arrest is the culmination of a long-term domestic terrorism investigation involving an undercover operation, during which Varnell had been monitored closely for months as the alleged bomb plot developed, authorities said. The device was actually inert, and the public was not in danger.

Call him by his name. Radical white extremist. At least for OKC's sake this one was too dumb to do any damage to anyone before he got caught.

Sorry, he isn't an extremist, just a crazy person. You need a really deep tan to be an extremist. /s

It's a good thing Trump ordered all the money that was going towards combating these domestic terrorists redirected. Who needs it.

There's plenty of blame to place on many sides.

Won't be dark enough for Trump's definition of terrorism

Wow the FBI finally figured out how to give somebody an inert bomb instead of giving them real bombs like they did last time. Good on the FBI for finally learning what is or is not explosive.

Still won't get you a job at the troll factory. Have you considered other career choices? Can you be a borscht cook?
