No thread about this guy in Houston? Or am I missing it? Seems that antifa moving on to bombs is noteworthy. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/tex...bomb-confederate-statue-houston-feds-say
A Houston man has been arrested after being accused by authorities of trying to damage or destroy a Confederate statue at a Houston park with explosives.
Federal prosecutors said Monday 25-year-old Andrew Schneck had been charged with attempting to maliciously damage or destroy property receiving federal financial assistance.
Authorities say a Houston park ranger on Saturday caught Schneck kneeling near a statue of Richard Dowling, a lieutenant in the Confederate army, located in Hermann Park. His arrest came several hours after hundreds protested a Spirit of the Confederacy statue at Sam Houston Park, The Houston Chronicle reports.
Prosecutors say Schneck was caught with two boxes with duct tape and wires and with a bottle containing a liquid made up of compounds used as explosives.
When confronted, he tried to drink some of the liquid, but spit it out, The Houston Chronicle reports. One of the tubes he had contained nitgroglycerin, a contact explosive in its purest form, and hexamethylene triperoxide diamine, HMTD, a "highly explosive compound," federal authorities said in a statement.
"In its undiluted form, [nitroglycerin] is one of the world's most powerful explosives," the statement said.
The information came to light Monday as authorities evacuated residents near a home owned by Schneck's parents, where they found "significant hazardous materials," The Chronicle reports. The area is close to Rice University.
Philip Hilder, Schneck's attorney, declined to comment on Monday.
Schneck received five years of probation after pleading guilty in 2014 to improperly storing explosive materials.

That wouldn't fit the MSM's narrative.

This is the first I've seen of it.
Bombing is the next logical step for them. It follows the basic rules of engagement that communists have been using for over 150 years.

It follows their agenda of getting more and more aggressive each rally or statue. Someone needs to stop this and declare them a terrorist group.

Previously jailed for explosives charges.. and let off of parole early with the agreement of the US Attorney.
I'm thinking that US Attorney is in a bit of hot water. Or should be.

Don't think he will be getting off a second time. Link: Houston man charged with planning to blow up Confederate statueIf convicted, Schneck faces a minimum of five and up to 40 years in federal prison and a possible $250,000 maximum fine.
The FBI and HPD are conducting the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys S. Mark McIntyre and Ted Imperato are prosecuting the case.
