Colorado man planning armed protest against state's coronavirus restrictions arrested for pipe bombs
Source: ABC
A Colorado man arrested after federal agents allegedly discovered pipe bombs in his home had also been helping organize an armed protest demanding the state lift its coronavirus restrictions, an official briefed on the case tells ABC News.
FBI and ATF agents served search warrants Friday morning at the Loveland, Colorado, home of Bradley Bunn, 53. Agents discovered four pipe bombs and potential pipe bomb components inside the house, according to a press release from the office of U.S. Attorney for Colorado Jason Dunn.
It is not clear what, if anything, Bunn planned to do with the pipe bombs, the official said.
Bunn came to the attention of law enforcement after using social media to encourage people to bring assault rifles to a planned May 1 rally at the Colorado capitol building, ABC News has learned.

Explosives (DD's) are licensed and controlled under very tight controls. You basically have to be in the business of making or repairing this stuff, for the military. (Some pyrotechnics are less regulated, like Tannerite.)

(38,187 posts)Once these protesters started with the neo-Nazi stuff, my first thought was that opens the door to catching a ton of hate group members who are wanted for crimes they have committed. Hate group members are notorious for having criminal histories and most importantly, many are wanted but not caught yet. Imagine stopping an Eric Rudolph type that is on the run and wanted for crimes committed.
Where did Anonymous go when we need them most?
