Salem police said someone threw an explosive device onto the porch of the Satanic Temple.

    The amazing thing about Satanists is that they’re so incredibly chill and wholesome, and the only reason to hate them is because you hate Satan. They’ve never hurt anyone, or done anyone wrong. They just have a mascot that drives Christians insane.

      Sounds like religious motivation and a hate crime. Hope the guy who did it gets a nice long stay at their local prison.

          Not if they end up with another piece of shit judge that watches too much fox news… He let a white supremacist off easy for beating a journalist because “we focus on the right too much, what about ANTIFA!?”

          … Right wing media is a cancer on society

    Sounds like somebody has no faith in their god’s ability to fight its own battles. Shockingly reasonable in a broken clock kind of way once you get past that little terrorism thing.

    Let’s hope the bomber(s) did something stupid like not wear gloves when handling the wires used to build the thing. Or one of the other components like the batteries, which they bought from a Chinese supplier that sells through Amazon, who keeps records.

    Likely it will be some locally generated dim bulb. One can only hope they’ll mention friends who helped over a can of pro-offered Coke. Or someone extracts it with “rubber hose methods” before the police discover said dim bulb.
