Does it really matter if the terror comes from Jihadists or whether it is homegrown? I don't think so and I'm sure that the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing would agree. This poor slob was "outed" by his wife. Obviously, he had intentions to inflict some damage. Perhaps he was just pissed at her or maybe he was mad at those women who charged him with sexual harrassment, in either case, death and destruction seem to have been the goal.
Ricin, pipe bombs found in Nashville
The deadly toxin ricin has been found at 2548 Woodberry Drive in Donelson (Nashville) Tennessee, along with fully functioning pipe bombs, five gun silencers and more. Acting on a tip, Nashville police searched the home of 55-year-old William Micheal Matthews on Wednesday and an FBI hazardous materials team completed the search today. (Photo via News Channel 5)
… they found the extremely toxic poison ricin sealed in an unmarked baby food jar. Residue was also found in a bowl. Health officials and law enforcement said the jar was sealed and they did not believe the neighborhood was threatened.
His wife tipped police Wednesday to the explosives on the property where she has been living.
Matthews began serving a nine-month jail sentence last week for violating orders of protection taken out by his wife while he was being treated for substance abuse.
No charges have been filed against Matthews, but police are talking to the U-S attorney’s office.
WSMV-TV reported that Matthews was a long-time Metro Nashville employee who recently left his job working in the city’s drug court testing laboratory after female co-workers filed sexual harassment complaints against him. source
In an article titled, “Homegrown Terror“, Michael Reynolds writes, “A bomb is a bomb. A chemical weapon is a chemical weapon. It won’t matter to the victims whether their attacker’s name is Ahmed or Bill.” There is much truth to those statements as we have seen time after time here in the US.
