You Can't Bomb Justice | San Diego News

A 22-year-old man pleaded guilty to bombing a courthouse in Santa Barbara, calling it “payback” for losing his guns — and he even yelled “Liberty or death” as he tossed the explosive. The blast injured three people, damaged $35K worth of property, and forced the courthouse to close. He admitted he targeted deputies and planned to “splatter” a judge — and authorities found bomb-making materials at his home. His arrest stemmed from an earlier gun charge, which triggered this violent retaliation. Authorities say this was a terroristic act that could’ve been far worse — and he now faces life in prison.
