October 26, 2018

"Federal authorities made an arrest on Friday in connection with the nationwide bombing campaign against outspoken critics of President Trump..."

"... a significant breakthrough in a case that has gripped the country in the days leading up to the midterm elections. It was not immediately clear who had been taken into custody, but a man was arrested in Florida, just north of Miami, three law-enforcement officials said. One of them said the man was in his 50s. Florida news organizations reported that the authorities had surrounded a white van with Trump stickers on it."

The NYT reports.

ADDED: The WaPo article does not mention the Trump stickers on the van — "Man in Florida arrested in connection with mail bombs sent to public figures." Key sentence: "fter news of the arrest broke, FBI agents and other law enforcement personnel could be seen in news footage draping a blue tarp over a van in a South Florida parking lot."

AND: Can you see the Trump stickers?

MORE: Info on a specific person at various sources, including Heavy. It says he's a Republican and "a promoter, booking agent and choreographer of a male stripping show as well as burlesque shows in the Miami-area."

A former New Yorker, living in Adventura Fl. Almost a stereotypical NE Democrat transplant. Adventura is practically devoid of Republicans. It's among the bluest areas of South Florida.

No real information on the connection of the van to the arrest, but the Trump stickers will figure prominently in every report.

Megthered said...

Haven't seen a picture of the van. The Fox people blurred it out so they couldn't be read. I still think it was some lefty crazy false flag op.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

If this guy did this and supports Trump, he didn't do anyone any favors except the left.

Thanks idiot.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Some reports saying the guy has past criminal background relating to terrorist threats.

rhhardin said...

It doesn't make sense except as a false flag operation. Nobody on the right cares about Hillary, for example. If anything, Hillary was a plus for the right.

Blue tarp is democrat.

theribbonguy said...

Ooooo...Trump stickers. That settles it..NO WAY it could be a false flag op now.

Probably a white Hispanic

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

The big round one looks like a Trump sticker- but it's hard to see.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Hillary institutionalizing her corruption for generations is a threat to this nation. The media giving her a pass for criminal acts - more of the same corruption.

Scott Adams thought it would be an unhinged Trump supporter lashing back at anti-Trumpers who threatened violence against Trump and Trump supporters.

Kinda funny that everyone's hoping he's the other sides wacko. I'll admit I'm kinda hoping he's a Bernie Bro too.

“False flag”, you people should feel awfully stupid.

tim maguire said...

Can you see the Trump stickers?

The stickers in that pic aren't decorative or declarative, they're to hide what's inside the van. Whatever the stickers are, they were most likely chosen because they were on hand when it was time to cover the windows.

Jersey Fled said...

Wow. It didn't take them long to slap those Trump stickers on his van.

Ignorance is Bliss said...

Bloomberg has a picture of the van.

Windows are covered with stickers/writing, but can't make out words. Definitely crazy-person vibe.

pacwest said...

I couldn't make out the stickers from the video, but I did make out a USA flag. That alone probably rules out any Democrat crazy. If it turns out to be a right winger CNN can quit holding back and tell us what they really think of President Trump.

Why? All signs point to it. The targets weren't people the right cares about, they're people the left thinks the right cares about. The bombing tactic just before an election isn't something the right would think might help the right, it's what the left might think would help the left. The left has basically cornered the market on political violence for my entire life (b. 1966). Finally, the bombs aren't bombs. They're fakes.

No, they appear custom made. Note that the one in the back window is the same as the one in the side window, except printed at different scales. This guy was obsessive about getting his message out.

eric said...

There are very clear pictures of the van on Twitter.

If you wanted a republican bad guy for this movie, this guy is it.

The van not only has prominent pictures of Trump and Pence, but it also has several politicians with bullseye's over their faces, like Hillary Clinton.

The van screams Republican Nut Job at you.

I expect our totally legit and unbiased media to spend the rest of the day overstepping on this and giving more fuel to the fire of conspiracy.

Conspiracy theories are not healthy for a society. But they become more and more prominent if you don't have a media you can trust.

This is not a good direction for our nation, but if the media refuses to self correct, the conspiracy theories are just going to multiply.

FIDO said...

Holy shit. Really? I mean REALLY? The guy has stickers that can be seen from ORBIT and he is the undercover mastermind for the bombings? And somehow, this logistical genius not only can get all these bombs delivered to the same people at the same time, something Amazon struggles with...but he can ensure that even a RETURNED package arrives the same day to DWS.

Here is the deal: The stickers posted are very colorful. They FADE quickly in Florida sun.

I would like the FBI to determine how recently all those stickers were put up.

He might be a R nutjob. And he might also be a patsy.

Not that I care about a single recipient of the bombs, but their people don't deserve to get hurt no matter how stupid they may be to work for them (or forced to work for them, in the case of the Obamas and the Clintons), AND I don't want the Left to have any dead martyrs.

Because all of them just say so many stupid things, they are much better off alive.

Yes, the media is going to play his Trump support hard as they should, just as most of the commentators here would have ridden it had he been a Dem.

This will not affect the election outcome. Nor will the "Invasion"

Trump will not apologize.

I do wish the folks on here that dwelled on the false flag crap would own up and admit they blew it.

He has a total right wing Twitter account when you look at his tweets. They are a lot like his van. Lots of pictures of memes. Very pro Republican.

And yet, he follows 32 people. Obama, TMZ, Lena Dunham, Kim Kardashian, Ellen DeGeneres, Neil Patrick Harris, all stuff like that.

He doesn't follow Trump, which is odd. Totally would have expected that.

Yancey Ward said...

On the Twitter pic, the stickers look literally brand new. It is also interesting to me that they appear to only be attached to the windows, not the panels of the van. If he is living in the van, a big if at this moment, the stickers are for privacy most likely. I don't know what the law in Florida is like, but if you obscure the windows like that in every state I have lived in, you get stopped by the police pretty quickly and get issued a citation.

With that out of the way, the stickers themselves are clearly pro-Trump- almost over the top pro-Trump, which does raise my suspicions a bit. However, on balance, it doesn't appear to me to be a false flag any longer. He does appear, though, to have been a registered Democrat, so I will await more details.

I know, right?

If he really wanted to unify, he would do what the Democrats want.

The fact he keeps acting like a Republican and doing things the Democrats don't like is a clear signal he isn't interested in unifying.

The Dems have made it clear to everyone. This national hissy fit will continue until they are elected. Why can't Trump be honest for once? If he really wants to unify the country he needs to become a Democrat.

He is currently a registered Republican.

His Twitter didn't start until 2016.

He looks like a Trumpist more than anything. Probably more supportive of Trump than the GOP.

*****************
If the guy is "killed while trying to escape", you might have a point. Arkancide, and all that.

But you have to ask yourself: based on what we know about his life, his dubious occupations, criminal past, kookish van, and amateurish MO , do you really think such a doofus could successfully bring off a "false flag" by *posing* as a typical Trump supporter?

The more sensible people come to know his background, the more they will say its a case of a criminally-obsessed nut job. Just as they did with the Scalisi shooter.

Yeah, Inga isn't in the "sensible people" category, but among independent voters---the king makers--- will likely not take the bait.

But if you think this perp is a "patsy", let's see the evidence. Like Soros money, for instance.

How long would a van with all those stickers last without getting vandalized in very blue Dade County? Those stickers don't seem very weathered for being out in the Florida sun, unless he kept the van in the garage. He is a registered Republican according to the voter registration site. I'd be interested to see his voter history, though. If the van is legit, then he's plainly a crazy.

From his twitter feed, he appears crazy. He doesn't appear racist and he has some gay-supportive postings. But he says this in every post (practically):

For anybody who hasn't checked out his twitter feed, I urge you to look through it. It probably isn't what anybody is expecting.

And, I will point out something that is eluding the media at the moment- we don't know why he was arrested. It is entirely possible that someone in the area alerted the FBI because of the stickers in his van windows. It has been on the news that the "bombs" originated in that area of South Florida, and the media has been drumming on for two days that they "targeted" Trump critics. I don't think it unreasonable that someone in that area of Florida hasn't noticed that van- indeed, I have seen posts by people who noted the van in the last week, but before the devices were even sent.

I would hope that the van contains the materials used to make the devices, but if all they have is the van and the stickers with a witness, I think it quite possible he isn't even the guy. I hope at the press conference, we will get a description of the other evidence collected, and the reasons why they think they have the right guy- it would allay my suspicions that they are just grasping at straws.

Heather Heyer is still dead. Casualty of “Unite the Right” rally. False equivalencies won’t cut it.

Inga has yet to apologize for Hodgkinsons attempted political mass murder.

She probably never will.

In Ingas defense, that was like, totally more than 15 minutes ago!

Temujin said...

My gut kept telling me this was a sophomoric lefty operation. But I'm not surprised its an out of his mind Trump supporter. Crazies come in all sizes, shapes, colors, religions, genders, heights, clothing, and intelligence levels. No one has a lock on crazy.

C'mon...how about this?

How about President Obama saying of Republicans: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” or “If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard.”

"The Jared Loughner shooting has some similarity but there, real people were killed."

-- He'd been threatening violence for, what, years, because people wouldn't listen to his conspiracy theory about grammar mind control? He's crazy.

How is it a false equivalency? Because you need it to be for your political ends?

Funniest part of all this?

If this guy is part Seminole, Im holding Elizabeth Warren responsible!

Big Mike said...

@Inga, so in your opinion Obama’s remark about “bitter clingers to their guns and religion” was calculated to make the middle class and working class people feel welcome in the Democrat Party?

The fact that he sent a bomb to John Brennan at CNN and misspelled his name AND didn't know Brennan works at MSNBC, shows you he was a nut and not serious.


No, the fact that the "bombs" were fake shows you he is a nut. The only remaining question is whether someone put him up to this.

Jim at said...

Republican crazies use fake bombs.
Democratic crazies use live bullets.

Drago said...

Notice how Inga even now refuses to even make note of Hodgkinson.

LOL

Transparent.

Unknown said...

Michael K soon we will know if it is a false flag or not. In any case he is an isolated crazy person.

Bad news for you is that I do not think Trump will deftly handle it and will stoke the MSM fervor.

Again, normal Dems, which are apparently alien to most of the commentators here, will not think he represents anything other than the fringe, just like the BernieBro shooter.

Michael K said...

I do have to laugh at people trying to debate the fool, Inga. She is well beyond any attempt at logic. I wonder if her van is covered with Obama stickers ?

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Trump can be blamed for pushing the left over the edge. He did, after all, cut some taxes. Unforgivable.

CNN is allowed to foment hatred.

jim said...

Oh yea, obvious false-flag. Everyone knows male strippers are all democrats.

And, and, if not a false flag then just another nut job.

Facetiousness aside, the guy's obviously a nut. But, doesn't he just represent one end (or nearly the end) of the Trump/MAGA nut job spectrum, i.e. your Fox-watching mother-in-law through your on-the-lamb, neo-Nazi, gay-bashing thug?

Jim at said...

"Except that he wasn’t."

Bullshit. Pure, unadulterated bullshit.

Get in their faces.
Punch back twice as hard.
They bring a knife, you bring a gun.
Bitterly clinging to their guns and religion.

And that's just off the top of my head.

I know it's difficult for you, but don't be deliberately dishonest and stupid.

A lunatic making a bunch of fake bombs is definitely worse than coming to a softball practice with a gun and shooting a bunch of Republicans because the New York Times called them "mass murderers."

Michael K said...

Your confidence in the existence of "normal dems" is touching.

I know a couple and they hate Trump with no semblance of logic. He is just the devil to them, and you.

Drago said...

Robert Payne: "Again, normal Dems, which are apparently alien to most of the commentators here, ..."

Nonsense!

Normal dems are simply not well represented on this blog.

Its not our job to force any of them to comment here.

Freder Frederson said...

So, when do you guys who jumped the gun and were absolutely certain this was a false flag operation, apologize.

I'm waiting.

It doesn't make sense except as a false flag operation. Nobody on the right cares about Hillary, for example. If anything, Hillary was a plus for the right.

Really?! Then why are people still chanting "lock her up" at Trump rallies? And why, on this very blog, whenever something negative is said about Trump, there will be numerous posts about how much worse the Clintons are?

Big Mike said...

No one has a lock on crazy.

@Temujin, may I introduce you to Inga?

Michael K said...

Interesting that we are getting these new commenters with blank profiles.

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of New York said...

The reason that it's a "false equivalent" is that the Republicans really are mass murderers and deserve to die.

Trumpit said...

The Unibomber's package bombs were far superior to this right-wing terrorist's nothing burger, misspelled, nonworking, care packages. This proves that the Left is superior in every way to the odious Right. QED. It's mostly Trump's fault for inciting hatred and violence against his political opponents. That's a fact. Faux Fox News is in blackface, i.e., collusion with Trump. For what it's worth, I'd like to see Megyn Kelly's Halloween costume. I think she's going as Zira from the Planet of the Apes.

If this is the guy, Trump will take credit for catching him so quickly. Count on it.

Michael K said...

Because they are ?

Did you read the story that Michael Foote, the Labour leader in the 1983 British election, was a paid KGB agent ?

I just wonder what other ties the Clintons have to the Russians.

Cassandra said...

Something is terribly wrong with this story:

1. Cesar Altieri Sayoc sounds positively ... ethnic. As everyone knows, all Authentic People of Ethnicity have been hiding in the shadows since the 2016 election, quaking with fear that Trump will steal their cornflakes, deport them, or turn his legions of White Nationalist henchmen (aka, The Cabinet) loose to beat them with those flaming torches they're constantly waving about.

2. As is also well known to all, People of Ethnicity do NOT identify as Republicans, because they would be voting against their self interest. Unless of course they are brainwashed. Republicans are Evil Incarnate, while persons of ethnicity uniformly exude virtue and love for their fellow persons.

So this, too, doesn't add up.

3. Sayoc makes his living from promoting male stripping. So clearly, in addition to being a Person of Ethnicity, he is also a Person of Enlightened Sexuality. As is well known to all, terrorists are invariably constipated, hetero Christian white males.

Clearly, we are going to have to re-examine our premises and interrogate the heck out of our elitist privilege.

buwaya said...

Payne,

Normal Dems do not run your elite institutions, nor the channels by which they influence the public. It is a strange, perverted, nihilistic culture.

The gap between these people and "normal Dems" is immense.

Drago said...

Freder: "o, when do you guys who jumped the gun and were absolutely certain this was a false flag operation, apologize.
I'm waiting."

Freder, you will recall, lied repeatedly and completely misrepresented the court findings in the Bundy case even though all relevant information was publicly available.

Freder, when called out on that purposeful misrepresentation, never apologized.

Discuss.





mockturtle said...

Whoever is ultimately behind these events, including the man arrested, obviously did not intend for any of the 'bombs' to detonate, as each lacked a [different] vital element.

Michael K said...

This proves that the Left is superior in every way to the odious Right.

You certainly make better bombs. The Palestinians are sort of a branch of the Democrat Party and they make nice bombs, too.

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of New York said...

The beauty of Hillary is that the Clintons have done everything that the left accuses Trump of, right up to collusion with the Russians. She's the gift that keeps on giving. You guys don't like to admit it, but she is a gift to us.

John Scott said...

Apparently the close-up pictures of the van were taken back in April by some random person that pulled up next to it at an intersection.

Big Mike said...

... Freder!

Arashi said...

He supposedly has a rap sheet as long as your arm. Definitley nut case - and has prior arrests for 'terroristic' acts. He is so over the top crazy it ought to raise eyebrows.

And how does the van not get stopped immediately by the local police and impounded becasue of the lack of outward visibility?

Jim at said...

This is what the politics of hate and spite have caused. Now you people who railed against PC and celebrated Trump’s style, you own this. - Inga

Fine. I own it. What are you going to do about it?
Pound your fucking keyboard some more?

Go right ahead.

For someone who thinks they are so smart, Freder, you can be awfully simple a lot of the time.

Bundy Case Liar: "Give me a freaking break! You are convinced that all Democrats are ardent supporters of the Antifa."

Probably because the entire dem establishment defended them with sone going so far as to compare them to our Normandy heroes.

FIDO said...

It is ever more likely possible that this is a Righty Loon...of a particularly self loathing variety. I've seen loons of all ilks post multiple permutations of the same post multiple times on the same threads.

And if we have to keep things in perspective: The Republicans have been blessed with a surfeit of sanity thus far.

We had a national meltdown of Millions of Democrats stopping traffic and howling at the sky.

We had thousands of Democrats riot in DC when Trump was inaugurated.

We had hundreds of Democrats riot in Middlebury, Berkley, Berkley, Berkley, Mizzou, Berkley, Evergreen.

We had a crazy Dem attack Rand Paul.

We had a Crazy Dem shoot at MULTIPLE Republicans (and MULTIPLE Democrats publicly wishing he was a better shot...but that isn't divisive in Ingaland)


We had two Republican Congressional candidates attacked by two separate Democrats

We had a couple of Ricin scare letters sent to Trump and Republican Congressmen.


We had a militant mob of Democrats attack a few dozen idiots in Charlottesville...out of their own purse and their own time.

We had a few hundred thousand Wacky Women Wear Whingina-ware instead of anything useful. And I am sure they all think they deserve raises for abusing their bosses this way.

We had mobs of paid Democrats protest outside Trump rallies picking fights. (Does that count as crazy? I count that as Calculating, but out of comity with Inga, who will have enough cognitive dissonance already, I'll allow crazy)


**

But we had ONE (1) Indian sending fake bombs.

Inga, give me a call when ONE of your people gets sent to a hospital. ONE.


Inga...Allie Oop said...

I’ve said this before on these threads, an unstable person will take his cues from a person with a loud public voice, and who has a bigger louder more hateful voice than this President? Trump is complicit in this and other instances in which people have violently attacked the press and Trump opponents. You people have celebrated his rhetoric, you agree with it, you want him to keep it up, you didn’t foresee something like this happening?

Michael K said...

You are convinced that all Democrats are ardent supporters of the Antifa.

No, my leftist children are just mistaken. But they all hate Trump. The FBI agent daughter assured me she would not vote for Hillary in 2016, but said she wouldn't vote for him.

My point, which you missed completely as usual, is that all Dims hate Trump with a passion and probably don't even realize that they are enabling people who think them (you) idiots.

I'm not quite as paranoid as bywaya but this is not a normal country right now.
