An East Texas man who federal prosecutors allege left explosive devices including pipe bombs in multiple area mail boxes, was motivated in part by anger at the government, Brit Featherston, first assistant U. S. attorney for the Eastern District of Texas tells TPMmuckraker in a phone interview.
"It does appear that there were two motives: one, that he was disenchanted with the federal government, and, two, he was disenchanted with an individual who he perceived that had wronged him," says Featherston of 52-year-old Larry North, who was arrested today.
This is Larry North
Doesn't look like a Muslim, does he?
UPDATE
After a request by North's attorney, the judge in the case has ordered a psychiatric exam of North to determine if he is competent to stand trial.
North "has a constellation of physical and emotional issues -- just enormous challenges for him," Ken Hawk, the assistant federal defender assigned to the case, said in a phone interview with TPMmuckraker.t appears that his attorney is going to angle for the "insanity" defense.
Guess who else might make that same plea?
I'm going to sit down and wait while Michelle Malkin digs up their voter registration records. I'm sure I'll be waiting a long time.
