1,000@traders at this time, I’m inclined to think Brad wanted to blow up “leftists”, given his apparent political views. I can resolve based on available information or postpone and wait for more information to appear, if it does. Please advise me on your preference.
@LyetKynes I didn't see anything about actual plans (re: "what was Spafford going to") in that article, so I would wait until the deadline and then resolve NA if nothing else emerges.
@CraigDemel the deadline is already here, I can reopen and extend or just postopone resolution for another six months maybe? Or just N/A given there’s no declared target other than what I just posted.
@LyetKynes Since the current holders appear to be just you and me, I'm good with extending the deadline until sentencing. I wouldn't expect new info after that.
The informant told authorities that Spafford was using pictures of the President Joe Biden for target practice and that “he believed political assassinations should be brought back,” prosecutors wrote. Several weeks after the assassination attempt of then-candidate Donald Trump in Pennsylvania in 2024, Spafford told the informant that he hoped the shooter "doesn't miss Kamala."
FBI bomb technicians determined they were pipe bombs on the scene. Most of the pipe bombs were discovered in a detached garage, organized by color, the documents say. Some were labeled "lethal" by hand. More pipe bombs were found "completely unsecured" in a backpack in the home's bedroom that had a label that said "#nolivesmatter."
