Sean Patrick Palmer, of Oklahoma, arrested after explosive device found last week near porch of Satanic Temple in Massachusetts

An Oklahoma man was arrested on Thursday morning in last week’s bombing attempt of a Satanic Temple in Massachusetts.

Sean Patrick Palmer, 49, of Perkins, Oklahoma, was arrested on charges of “using an explosive to cause damage to a building used in interstate or foreign commerce”, the United States’ attorney office for the district of Massachusetts said in a statement.

The Satanic Temple does not actually worship the devil or believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural, but rather uses Satan as a symbol of free will, humanism and anti-authoritarianism. It regularly angers rightwingers and Christians.

      I really don’t like even considering the idea of sterilization as a punishment for crimes. It’s Nazi shit.

        When their indoctrinated child brings a gun to school or comes along to murder your family with a cowardly pipe bomb, tell them that

          I know too many LGBT people whose parents hate them for it to buy that a child always ends up like their parent.
