General Sessions Court Judge Bob Moon said the man charged with setting a fire in a downtown hotel is "an unwelcome undesirable" illegal alien.
Judge Moon told Bario Gomez, "Undesirables like you are not welcome in this country. You are a Latino terrorist who entered this country illegally and soon plotted significant personal injury and damage to the people and businesses in our community."
Authorities said Gomez is an illegal alien with no proof of identification. Officials also said he gave police a false name.
The INS placed a hold on Gomez, 20, after charges of aggravated arson and aggravated vandalism were filed against him.
Judge Moon told him, "It is undesirables like you who create many unjustifiable problems and prejudices upon the good people who enter this country legally in chasing a dream for a better life for themselves and their families.
"Mr. Gomez, you nor any other citizen from a foreign land has a right to enter this country; you simply have a privilege to enter this country through the proper legal channels.
"You are a domestic terrorist who is an imminent threat to the safety of our people and their property. You are also a supreme flight risk from justice. It is with duty, comfort and ease that I increase your bond significantly in an appropriate amount to insure your appearance in further proceedings and to insure the safety of this community."
The bond was raised from $30,000 to $1 million. The previous bond was set by Magistrate James Purple, which Judge Moon described as "another ludicrously low bond."
According to Arson Investigator James Whitmire, Gomez checked into the hotel with his girlfriend. Testimony by Whitmire and management officials indicated that Gomez placed a toaster filled with matches in a microwave oven in his room intending a massive "delayed burn."
Proof also showed that multiple towels were stuffed into the toilet in order to retard the water supply. The hotel manager testified that the towels were stuffed so deeply that the pipes had to be disassembled to remove them. She also stated that the room was severely damaged and vandalized.
Capt. Whitmire testified that "hundreds of people were evacuated, including children."
He said, "If the fire had established itself many families and children would have most likely lost their lives or been severely injured. Being on the fourth floor, the fire would have been difficult to contain."
I heard about it but could not find a media mention..
Hmmmmmmmmmm Wonder why....
Illegal aliens PING
This is what is happening in my neck of the woods...
Works for me.
“Border County”. You should petition to rename your neck of the woods.

This judge is really bucking the PC multicultural crap that burdens America today. Wonder how long before the ACLU is on his butt?
I wonder if he would like to be governor of Tennessee?
I couldnt talk about this earlier on your great show..
It only just got loaded onto the newspaper website..
People thought it was just a horrible rumor etc...
Lovely “immigrants” we have
>The INS placed a hold on Gomez, 20, after charges of aggravated arson and aggravated vandalism were filed against him.<
I would have charged him with attempted murder too.
“...which Judge Moon described as “another ludicrously low bond”
It sounds like there’s an election coming up....
“Domestic terrorist”—but...but...but I thought illegal aliens were all innocent, law-abiding, tax-paying, children-loving, doing-the-work-Americans-won’t-do ‘undocument immigrants’?!
You go, Judge Moon. Hopefully your common sense will spread throughout the land to other judges!
Well it’s obvious the judge “gets it”. Now if we can just get our President to “get it” !!!
Now that’s how an American judge should work!
Judge of the Year
That’s a good judge you have. We could use him and Sheriff Joe Arpaio in California.
Helluva gutsy move by Judge Bob Moon considering that it goes 180 degrees against this Administration’s views on illegal aliens and their pretend rights. Silly rabbits, rights are for citizens.
Just committing the arsons that Americans won’t commit...
30k bond for what amounts to attempted murder?!?!?
Thank God for the good judge!
Bob Moon rules! Perhaps he should be considered for a Federal judgeship.
INS was changed to ICE in 2003.
