Police found an explosive device Sunday in the home of a 55-year-old Richmond, California man who allegedly threatened to harm the local Muslim community, according to a local report. Police evacuated William Celli's neighborhood when they found a device at his home on Sunday and detonated it, Bay Area TV station KPIX reported. Celli was arrested and booked into county jail on Sunday afternoon, according to the report.

Celli frequently posted on Facebook, where he appeared to align himself with Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. In October, Celli wrote: "I'll follow this MAN to the end of the world."
Trump's dog whistles politics will inevitably lead to tragedy. He should have stuck to hosting game shows.

Trump never told anybody to go kill Muslims. All he did ask for is s current pause until we found out what we are doing.


What I hear your side doing is grasping at straws. Which is an appropriate term because it was used in 1534 by Thomas More referring to a desperate, drowning, man grabbing anything that floats - even straw.


If you want to hold this against Trump (which he had no control over); we could hold last summer's riots and police shootings against our President (which he did have control over). Or we could hold Hillary responsible for Benghazi (which she was) or grasping at straws: ACLU | Loring Wirbe | Urges people to kill Trump supporters.

Everything else the guy likes is a conspiracy against Muslims.

I bet he likes Snickers bars.

When your rhetoric helps create the problem, you are responsible to some degree. The question is how much? And the answer I think is...only a little. But enough that you should not just dismiss it out of hand.

So what's your objection to stopping Muslims from entering until we can vet them properly?

Like I said; you can say the same of our President. He, without knowing the facts, immediately said the police were wrong (they were in some cases, but not all). He fanned the flames that ended up with people/police dead. I know that we do have to look at every death at the hands of authorities; but we have to do so with all of the facts and not just kneejerk reactions. President Obama did little more than just fan the flames and the media gobbled it up.


We will always have somebody that goes too far in their own interpretation of anybody's words. Nobody has any control over that; we have to simply lock them up.
