An Oklahoma man has been arrested after authorities accused him of throwing a pipe bomb at the headquarters of a group in Salem, Massachusetts, called The Satanic Temple.

Surveillance cameras showed a man walk up to the building soon after 4 a.m. on April 8 wearing a face covering, tactical vest and gloves, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI. The man then ignited an improvised explosive device, threw it at the main entrance then ran away. The bomb partially detonated, resulting in some minor fire damage, authorities said.

    What was the plan exactly ? The temple was likely empty at 4am, and such a haphazard approach seems unlikely to start any actual fire.

    All he accomplished was the equivalent of a giant fart in an empty hallway. What a worthy cause to throw your life away for 🤣

    Once more, Satan triumphs 🤘😈
