Ron Paul fan opens fire on Federal Reserve building with shotgun

Source: The Raw Stor

An apparent fan of failed presidential candidate Ron Paul is accused of opening fire on a Federal Reserve Bank building in Minnesota, causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage.

Christopher Wood allegedly went to the top of a parking ramp July 21 at the Minneapolis Central Post Office where he worked and fired several shots from a 12-gauge shotgun at the nearby federal building, reported the Star-Tribune.


The gunshots broke windows and damaged interior walls at the Reserve building, causing damage estimated at $40,242 but no injuries.

The 43-year-old Wood was arrested Monday as he left his St. Paul apartment, where investigators said they found the shotgun, some ammunition and evidence that the attack was politically motivated.

WOMP WOMP

If you ask me we should have the FBI checking on all the US-born white men; they're the ones committing 99% of the crimes.

Apologies to those of you who are decent human beings. Now you know what it feels like to be a minority in this country.

Did he already shoot all the stop signs on that block? That'll teach that building.
Put him away until he's well, then wait longer. And no guns forever!

I agree that it was an act of terror since he admits to being politically motivated.
