A 52-year-old truck driver has pleaded guilty to driving from his home in Indiana to set a mosque on fire in Ohio, Toledo Blade reported yesterday.
Randolph Linn said he got "riled up" watching Fox News and drank 45 beers in seven hours before setting the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo on fire, according to The Sentinel-Tribune.
The drive from his Indiana home to the mosque was nearly two hours.
Linn said he wanted "to get some payback" for Americans who had been killed, according to the Blade.
He admitted, however, that he didn't personally know any Muslims, but believed they were extremists from what he saw on the news, according to the Toledo Blade.
Linn will spend 20 years in prison as part of a plea agreement and pay restitution to the mosque.

Fox News made him do it.
Outlaw Fox News.
MILLER TIME..!
BEER ,must be banned LOL , How come he couldn’t finish both 24’s ?
After 45 beers he'll probably need to tinkle first.
So it was what he watched on tv and not at all the 45 beers within a 7 hour span that caused him to do this. That’s what I’m expected to believe?
Fox News made him do it.
Well at least they didn’t blame it on the joos like Hitler did or on Bush like the liberal morons do.
Wow. After 45 beers he probably could have put the fire out if he’d just thought to take a leak....
I’ve always thought that Shepard Smith and alcohol was a deadly combination.
But when I drink and watch Shep, I usually just want to kill myself!
Christian churches get burned down all the time in the U.S. Christian churches in moslem countries get blown up, often with the congregations in them. No big deal.
But this is newsworthy. /s/
Maybe they can add banning FNC to the Senate gun ban bill.
OK that’s it, we need to ban fire! Where’s Piers Morgan?
Ok, I can see the DUI charge, someone might have
gotten hurt...
This is why we need to prohibit the drinking of alcohol!
Call Congress now and demand it be done!!
How many LEOs did it take to hunt him down for this heinous crime? Too many.
Did they ever find the people responsible for torching Governor Palin’s church? Crickets....
So what was hi Blood Alcohol Level? He must have broken the record.
Sorry, but when I saw this headline, i started laughing..
I have done some weird stuff after drinking beer, but...
over a six pack an hour and he drove for 2 hours.
I blame 0bama and all the 0bamamedia outlets for causing this man to feel so hopeless, so sure that truth will no longer be reported, that he felt the misguided need to just “do something” in a crisis moment. The 0bamamedia must be destroyed. If you know any of those people, refuse to associate or do business with them. I hope I don’t have to tell anyone to refuse to consume their “news” product anymore.
45 beers? No one needs 45 beers! 24-pack cases of beer need to be banned to prevent this kind of tragedy from taking place. All anyone ever needs is just a six-pack of beer.
Mayor Bloomberg will speak to this crisis soon, I am sure.
Let’s see if I got this right...
Violent movies and video games are NOT responsible for mass murders...
but...
FoxNews IS responsible for this goofus setting fire to a mosque...
ok, that makes sense.
His home in St. Joe, Ind., is 85 miles away from Toledo. With seven and a half six packs under his belt, he must have gotten to the mosque by osmosis.

rehash of GOOD news!
Also why i found new respect for Jeremy Clarkson @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_2ZsMFY0fg
45 Beers gets him 20 Years.
Back in my drinking days, we could put down 6 packs in less than half an hour. This guy was drinking too slow!
After 45 beers, he could’ve put out “The Towering Inferno”.
Meanwhile, Major “Workplace Violence” Hassan is grooming his luxurious beard
45 beers and still alive? Imagine how many mosques he could have got sober.
Will this hero be getting a Medal of Freedom from nobama????
I needed a warm and fuzzy news story to cheer me up!
LLS
/Talk about professional truck driver .....
Were there any secondary explosions?
This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Of course, it would seem to get the NRA off the hook and make one think that Hollywood and video game makers ARE the ones responsible for the shootings at Sandy Hook (Since no one wants to blame Adam Lanza). We may also want to look at banning "assault beer".
If this guy is drinking 45 beers & still functioning he needs to start drinking a MUCH better quality of beer than whatever crappy lager he prefers.
- Watching Fox News --- About $2 (cable TV).
- Drinking 45 beers in 7 hours --- approximately $45.(hic!) - Burning down a mosque --- PRICELESS.
He must watch a different Fox News than the rest of us.

Is this a Guinness Book of World Records try? I couldn't do that many beers in seven hours on my best day.

Twenty for arson on a plea?
> Linn will spend 20 years in prison as part of a plea
> agreement and pay restitution to the mosque.
Prisons are likely full of Hussein-lovers ans they’ll probably try to kill him.
45 beers? He’d be much too wet to burn anything...
The mosque was twenty minutes away. The trip took two hours because he stopped seventeen times to pee. :=)
It would be interesting to pull up the “many” stories about Muslims on Fox that supposedly set this guy off. I betting there weren’t any. If there were any, I’m betting they were so mild that even an idiot liberal would be surprised anyone was “set off” by the story.
That does it, shut Fox News down. They are a terrorist organization.
42 beers at 12 oz each is a little over 4.2 gallons. How does a person consume over 4 gallons of anything in 7 hours? I’m not sure I could do that with water.
where can i donate bailmoney,gas,and matches if he promises to burn another one?
Probably ‘sex in a canoe’ beer. Especially if it was anything with ‘Lite’ in it’s name. Probably not that big a feat.
I’d want to see him drink 45 bottles of ‘Arrogant Bastard’ in 7 hours, but I don’t really want to watch someone die of alcohol poisoning.
He must have been O’Reiled up!.............
After 45 beers, he wouldn’t remember what he was watching
