[quote]A man is charged after allegedly setting off an explosive at a Mississippi Walmart Sunday morning.
Marshall W. Leonard, 61, of Tupelo, will be charged with placing an explosive device. Under Mississippi Code 97-37-25 he could get life in prison if convicted, the Tupelo Daily Journal reported.
Tupelo Police Chief Bart Aguirre said a vehicle pulled up to an entrance of the Walmart in North Gloster around 1:30 a.m.
“A white male got out, lit the package and threw it in the vestibule,” said Aguirre. “There was an employee on break, and the suspect told him, ‘You better run.’
“The employee did run and was away from harm when the package went off. It wasn’t a large explosion. It didn’t cause a lot of damage to the store.”
No one was injured in the incident. The remnants of the homemade explosive device have been sent to the crime lab.
A supporter of the Mississippi flag, Leonard railed against anyone who wanted it removed because it contained the Confederate battle flag. He spoke out against Walmart when the retail giant stop selling items that contained the Confederate battle flag.
Last Wednesday, Leonard posted threats on the Daily Journal Facebook page.
“Journal corporate, you are on final warning,” he wrote Oct. 28. “You are part of the problem. As a result of this, y’all are going down, along with Walmart, WTVA, Reeds department store, and all the rest of the anti-American crooks. I’m not kidding. No messing around anymore!”
Leonard was taken into custody after being stopped for a traffic violation. During the stop police quickly determined he was a suspect in the Walmart bombing. Leonard is set for an initial court appearance Tuesday.[/quote]
...but tell them that the Confedrate flag stands for hatred and violence, and they'll bark about how wrong you are.

1 RespuestaWhere's Fox News telling us we need to keep an eye on all white people? The majority of terrorist attacks in America are committed by right wingers so maybe we should target them.

Bby I can just as well say that the rainbow flag is offensive. [spoiler]but seriously they made a petition to change the American flag to that bullshït rainbow?[/spoiler]

1 RespuestaI don't think the Confederate flag stands for violence, yet I haven't bombed any Wal-Mart's.

That's like saying all Muslims are killers and that their religion's sole purpose is terrorism, it's generalization and it's disgusting no matter who you use it against.

Why would he blow up a Walmart? He can still make them.
-
Don't assume we're bad people just because one idiot decided to do something like this.

Editado por BRAVEAMERICAN: 11/4/2015 11:36:16 PMOk, then I want the statement that every country who had slaves that their flag if it is still the same means hatred and violence.

This is bait.

What a hero

1 RespuestaHeh Republicans love the free market when it serves them, but hate it when it works against them. The people spoke, they don't want Confederate flags, so the market responded and removed all Confederate flags. Now they are upset that the market responded. I love the irony!

Editado por UnderPressureM16: 11/5/2015 1:18:01 AMRed Necks here (In America) are just like Red necks in the middle east, hot-headed, unwilling to negotiate, and extreme to its most exaggerated form. They label muslim EXTREMISTS overseas terrorists (which they very well are) when they themselves do things that are equally screwed up in stature. Thats what extremists are man, and thats what they always will be. [spoiler]I live in Florida so I know what Im speaking about, not all southern folk are rednecks, not all red necks are extremists, but most that Ive met come off no different as extremists from the middle east.[/spoiler]

1 RespuestaI'm guessing he didn't want to hurt anyone since he told the only person to run before the 'small explosion'.
-
Lol couldn't even make a good homemade explosive, he ain't a true Confederate
-
I appreciate the irony, but I could prove that being a vegetarian causes genocidal behavior if given the same parameter requirements.

1 RespuestaNo, this is ONE person, and you're acting like he represents the confederate flag, if you like at it as a whole their aren't that many bad people involved with the flag, even the confederates, they simply fought for their living style, think about it for a minute

The confederate flag represents slavery at its finest. Who created these idiots nowadays?
