Unless these moonbat domestic terrorists like this, or like the oxygen thief who tried to handcuff Karl Rove, are made harsh examples of we can expect these kinds of acts to become more and more frequent and destructive. I can only imagine how much more emboldened pond scum like this will become if their messiah is elected to the White House in two weeks.
An FBI affidavit says Mr. DePalma first came to the bureau's attention after he attended an anarchist event in July in Wisconsin called CrimethInc Convergence.
At the event, Mr. DePalma told another attendee, who happened to be an FBI informant, that he planned to "make some bombs" for the Republican convention in St. Paul.
A little bit of digging came up with that story.
Really shows how important human intelligence is.
Nazi Brown Shirts, dispatched by Obamanation
Where is the media? I want to know everything about this guy!
Does he owe taxes?
Does he have a valid drivers license?
Who are his parents?
His siblings?
What do his friends from high school think about him?
he is just some guy from the neighborhood
A hero to the left.
112 members?
I didn’t know there were that many conservatives in Minnesota! :o)
bkmark to see how much time he gets.
Inspired by Ayers and Obama no doubt.
That university is such a communist sh!thole.
And I just saw a headline (no details, sorry) where Norm Coleman's home or office was vandalized.
I have a better idea the only way to fix congress is term limits and the fair tax, but it is not going to happen. I have an alternative (this is a joke) neutron bomb the congress during joint session shit that wont happen cockroaches survive anything.
Remember the breaking headlines when someone in a crystal meth bust claimed that his buddies were planning to shoot Obama in Denver from a hotel window that did not afford credibility to such a plot?
Where is the media now?
Busy investigating Plumber Joe.
If it is like the thugs who slashed the tires of GOP get out the vote vans in 2004 and the thug who hacked Gov. Palin’s email account, he’s probably the son of an elected Democrat.
Will bet anyone here that the guy probably has a Peace Sign bumbper sticker on his car too.
Probably has a life membership in the preposition club.

in a few years he’ll be hosting a future democrat pres candidate in his living room. He’s also a future professor.
exactly
Had that thought myself; perhaps ACORN armbands would look spiffy and right at home on those shirts.
Yes, but does he have a valid mad bombers license? The media will surely want to know.
They would make cute Nazi Brown Shirts and easy targets
And I would bet that the puke was only ashamed that he was not able to carry out his stunt, and only ashamed that he got caught. Give the puke the maximum (which is still not enough). Follow the money trail on this puke, where does it lead?
Social activist, organizer ... and FBI informant:(RNC CONVENTION ALMOST FIREBOMBED!!) (Statesman.com Jan 3, 2009 By David Hanners)
In a federal courtroom in Minneapolis this month, the public transformation of Brandon Darby of Austin will become complete.In four years, he has gone from a never-trust-the-government activist to the confidential informant who helped the FBI arrest two Austin men on suspicion of building firebombs during the Republican National Convention in St. Paul in September.
"I feel like, as an activist, I played a direct role in stopping violence," Darby, 32, said in his first interview on his role.
Darby was the government's chief informant in the case against David McKay and Bradley Crowder. The two are scheduled to go on trial in U.S. District Court on Jan. 26 on accusations they built Molotov cocktails during the convention. They are being held without bail.
(snip)
In a conversation recorded by the FBI, McKay told Darby he planned to use the explosives on law-enforcement cars parked in a lot near the convention site, officials said.
"What if there's a cop sleeping in the car?" Darby asked McKay, according to an affidavit by Christopher Langert, a special agent in the FBI's Minneapolis office. "He'll wake up," McKay allegedly replied.
