Some people actually believe George is handing out money to the immigrants.    hah

When I come across those who do believe that I always want to tell them not to tilt their head in the shower, they'll drown.

You were right. A man has been taken into custody and the DoJ will hold a press conference at 2:30 EST. I don't think they'd do that unless they felt certain they had their guy.

LE is swarming an area in South Miami, not too far from Opa-Locka.

They have reportedly arrested a suspect in the pipe bombing case and taken him into custody.  He was arrested at a place of business in public.

A press conference is expected shortly.

ETA:  Sorry Duchess, posting at the same time.

It would be extremely unusual for the Feds to arrest him in public if they were not very confident they had the guy. They will likely have multiple warrants so they can grill him and go through his home, phone, computers........for evidence and to determine if he had accomplices.

LE has confirmed that the suspect is a man in his 50s.

He lives not too far from the arrest site and the Opa-Locka postal facility.

He has a criminal history and ties to New York.

A van has been tarped and taken from the arrest site.

Live or fake, bombs aren't funny, they are horrifying. I wanted to say that because I don't want anyone to think I'm not taking this seriously, I am, but I just heard that the suspect's van has the presidential seal on it and... 115

The van is also covered with right-wing bumper stickers and pictures of Trump.

DNA evidence played a role in the arrest of ^ Cesar Sayoc, Jr., 56, officials said.

Sayoc's white van, which had pictures of Trump and the presidential seal plastered to the windows, was seized by the FBI and hauled off to a secure facility.

I saw someone say the bomber identified as Native American which seems... strange.

Because they're insane. This wasn't a hard case to crack, who else in butt fucked opa-loka would be sending bombs other than the crazy guy with pictures of Trump all over his van.

In this case, the stickers were used to turn the suspect's van into a sort of shrine to Trump and a far right billboard.

[Image: 3yBR31yp?format=jpg&name=600x314]

The stickers will also be quite useful to LE in their interrogations and in confirming motive, I imagine.  

The suspect has been arrested for using a threatening device in the past.  He got one year probation in 2002 for threatening to “throw, project, place, or discharge any destructive device.”  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/poli...774140002/

He won't get off anywhere near as lightly this time out, in my opinion, regardless as to whether LE determines he meant to kill or instead to intimidate.
