A 46-year-old man is facing federal charges accusing him of leaving a jar filled with explosives at a North Carolina airport as part of a war he pledged to fight on U.S. soil.

Michael Christopher Estes was arrested October 7 and charged with attempted malicious use of explosive materials and unlawful possession of explosive materials in an airport, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.

The improvised explosive device, or IED, was found inside a jar at the Asheville Regional Airport about 7 a.m. on October 6, the FBI said in the complaint. Bomb technicians from the Asheville Police Department rendered the device safe. The baggage claim and lobby area of the airport were evacuated and shut down for about 2 hours. No one was injured.

    "I don't think she has to speak longer or more eloquently to provide additional context; her statement stands on its own, and means that she is delusional. This is not a judgement; rather, I am simply recognizing something that is true whether I agree with it or not."

    Whether it's delusional or not is not the point. The point of the context is to show that what she is saying is actually pretty consistent and based on what is commonly held to be true in the circles she moved in. They all agree that race is a social construct. You can disagree with that if you want but that probably isn't going to tell us anything about why her peers, who do NOT disagree with it, still rejected her.

    "The word "race" is pretty charged; the number of human "races" as determined by the ability to interbreed is "one". I am not sure how else you would define that word, except culturally."

    Again my point was not to expound my own understanding of the subject, but rather to ask why these people who profess to share HER understanding of the subject, nonetheless reject her person.

    Was she born with Original Sin?

    "...lie...lie...lie"

    It's not a lie if this is what they honestly believe.
