Bomb Plot Thwarted at Falwell’s Funeral

Student Arrested With Homemade Bombs, Three Other Suspects Sought

May 22, 2007 —

Even in death, the Rev. Jerry Falwell rouses the most volatile of emotions. A small group of protesters gathered near the funeral services to criticize the man who mobilized Christian evangelicals and made them a major force in American politics — often by playing on social prejudices. A group of students from Falwell’s Liberty University staged a counterprotest. And Campbell County authorities arrested a Liberty University student for having several homemade bombs in his car. The student, 19-year-old Mark D. Uhl of Amissville, Va., reportedly told authorities that he was making the bombs to stop protesters from disrupting the funeral service. The devices were made of a combination of gasoline and detergent, a law enforcement official told ABC News’ Pierre Thomas. They were "slow burn," according to the official, and would not have been very destructive.

 

This good christian boy also has a very strange myspace page, where he wants to meet: Jesus, Gen. Douglas MacArthur and OSAMA? 

 The picture he chose doesn’t make him appear all that stable either… and what’s MORE fun? He’s ROTC

 

 

Though, this may have had the effect of keeping him OUT of the Army.  But, then again….
