Occupy Terrorist Says His Cache of Explosives Material Were Only for "Experimental Fireworks"

From @benk84's link dump: the guy has a history of getting off very lightly for possession of heroin and stabbing a bartender. Because his dad is rich.

The media isn't covering this-- and let me note, the media isn't covering this, despite Newtown.

We learn in nearly every spasm of violence that the perpetrator was a Strange Young Man who had a record of antisocial behavior and an unsettling interest in instruments of death.

And yet, here we have a guy who previously served a year in jail for stabbing a bartender, discovered with a cache of explosives -- and the media, even post-Newtown, won't give this story any play, simply because it would reflect poorly on Occupy.

If the media is really as interested in stopping mass violence as it pretends -- rather than simply agitating for culture wars -- shouldn't they take an interest in Strange Young Men whose minds seem to fixate on weaponry and imagined enemies?
