Kentucky man accused of making bomb, threatening Planned Parenthood

[essentialsaltes]

A Kentucky judge has revealed in court a man is accused of threatening to blow up a Planned Parenthood location.

Gray affiliate FOX19 reports Daniel Kibler was arrested and charged with possession of a destructive device or booby trap device, terroristic threatening and eight counts of wanton endangerment following a search of his home in Independence.

Authorities say they learned Kibler was threatening to blow up the reproductive health care organization's Cincinnati location. People who knew Kibler reported the threat to law enforcement.

He sure has a wacky idea of what being "pro life" means.

Why do some people want this to be a thing so badly?

I learned from many leftists when Notre Dame was on fire that a building is just a building and it doesn't really matter. So as long as he blew it up at night when nobody was there and nobody was hurt, it doesn't matter.

I think it matters whenever someone gets to the point of thinking that blowing up a building because it houses something they disagree with is the way to go. That kind of thing is how civil wars get started. One incident here, one incident there, and before anyone can step back and say "Hey, this is getting crazy; let's stop", you've got neighborhoods fighting neighborhoods, taking and losing territory, etc.

I don't like the idea of any part of America or any other modern nation turning into Beirut circa 1982.

That didn't seem to be the sentiment among the leftists here on the forums.

Hm...
First, I have heard from a lot of (conservative) Christians that a building is just a building and that the "Church" is the community of believers and nothing material matters.
Second, even many (most) "leftists" acknowledge the cultural, historical or societal significance of certain buildings.
Third and most important for your comment: there is a teeny tiny difference in not caring a lot about a building burning down and setting it on fire.

Yeah, the general position from "the left" was that this was a horrible tragedy. But I suspect straw-leftists are easier to use than real thinking and feeling human beings.

Not true. The destruction of some one else's property is a crime. It does matter. If this man calls himself a Christian, then he does not understand that if you live by the sword you will die by the sword. In other words, one overcomes evil with goodness, one does not use evil to overcome evil since evil is multiplied.

I was reading thinking, "fake news" because I live here and there are no more PP locations open in the state. But he lives on the river, and his target was in Ohio.

I hate abortion... I truly believe it to be murder. But how can anyone justify taking the lives of people who don't agree with them about abortion? That's the problem with our culture... we are trained to square off against anyone who doesn't agree with us rather than find a way to sit down and talk. We might just find we can come to a solution, on many things, anyway.

He is free to disagree with their practice and protest peacefully. But destroying property and posing threats to others is another matter. He should not be given an opportunity to carry it out.
