CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

FWIW, I found another case involving arson of a university apartment building.
"Kitchen pleaded guilty in January to a single criminal count of maliciously using fire to damage a building used in interstate commerce."
It's part of the name of the crime just because it's a federal case, with the law stemming from the Commerce clause that Congress can pass laws "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes". No doubt it is justified by the possibility of out of state students paying rent and cases like that quoted by Arcangl86, but it's really beside the point. Unless you want to start a thread on the use or abuse of the Commerce clause.

How many years did people get for trying to burn down the courthouse in Portland with people in it? Was it five years or more? I believe it was like 2 years probation if they were charged at all.
One more time we see the inequality of the Justice System. And a 75 year old? What's his criminal record and his mental state?

In one case I can find, there were plea deals so that they didn't plead guilty to attempted arson.
The initial allegation of attempted arson was dropped and replaced with the allegation of willful destruction of government property.

Here's one for a year and a half (time served) for a dud
The device fell to the ground and Ybarra picked it up and threw it twice more, wrote Nathan Miller, an agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, in a federal affidavit. It didn’t explode and no one was injured, according to Miller.
The bottle thrown contained no flammable liquid, Kohlmetz said.

Another for time served, probably a similar year and a half or so.

How terrible. As much as I detest Planned Parenthood and abortion, this does nothing but send the wrong message. violence NEVER solves anything.

I will grant you that Fox "news" pretty much automatically warrants a fact check.
