..."Bomb squad experts call petroleum jelly "a poor man's C4," which is a military-grade explosive, the sheriff said. The jelly can be lit afire and thrown, he said."
Those are some stupid bomb squad "experts", then. Yes, C4 will also burn, just like petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly doesn't *explode*, like C4 does though.
By that rational, pieces of hickory are also "poor man's C4", since you can light them afire and then throw them.
As a tangent, cotton balls dipped in petroleum jelly and stored in zip-loc bags make wonderful fire starter kits for camping/outdoors.
According to the manifesto he had grander plans that were not carried out (thankfully), was upset over being kicked out of a study group, and praised allah.
Do we need to ban study groups now, since exclusion from them apparently causes some people to completely lose it?
You know what he should have done instead? Shown up with a "clock" in a case and claimed racism and "islamaphobia" was why he was kicked out of the study group. Then he may have scored all sorts of swag, tickets to the White House, sympathy and scholarships.

I jokingly asked yesterday if he was Palestinian. Truth is stranger than fiction

"During the course of their investigation, they have found nothing in this person's history, personal belongings, electronic devices, or any other items to suggest anything other than this was an act of an individual for a vendetta," Warnke said.
"There is nothing to indicate that there is any political or religious motivation pertaining to what he did yesterday," Warnke said.
No casualties. Thank god this guy didn't have a gun!
