College student says thought arson was "God's will"

Knoxville (AP) - A grand jury in Knoxville will decide whether to charge a bible college student in the burning of an adult bookstore.

Twenty-year-old Benjamin Daniel warren told authorities he put on a ninja outfit and torched the bookstore, believing he was doing God's will. According to the statement, Warren was later involved in a car crash, which convinced him God was punishing him for it.

So, two months after the January 31st blaze, Warren confessed to police, who charged him with arson.

This week, Warren waived his right to a preliminary hearing, sending his case to a Knox County grand jury.

The owner of the Town and Country Book Store says the blaze cost him as much as $600,000 in product and as much as $300,000 in the loss of the building.

The Knoxville News Sentinel reviewed documents that showed Warren lived near the bookstore in Powell and had been attending Crown College, also in Powell, about six miles northwest of Knoxville.

I think we might have a buyer for the new 'kill a heathon' video game...

I find it amusing that the "product" has a higher value than the building.

It is always what's on the inside that counts

While not nearly as funny without the ninja outfit, another porn store was "attacked" with a chemical "weapon of mass destruction".

In Waldo, people have held prayer vigils and protests aimed at an adult bookstore along US 301, trying to keep the "Cafe Risque" from opening its doors on time.

Those efforts have all failed, so investigators say it looks like someone has turned to what they're calling a clear act of terrorism to keep the store's owner from opening up shop.

The device, discovered Sunday morning, was made of two gallon-size sports drink jugs connected by hoses. Someone set it on top of the store's window air conditioning unit.

Detectives say that person then strung one hose from a water spigot on the outside of the building, and pushed another hose into the building through a gap above the air conditioner.

"That water hose would churn it up, mix it up in the gallon jug, and enter it into the building," said Alachua County Sheriff's Sergeant Keith Faulk. Investigators say one of the jugs had a harmful substance inside that flowed into the store along with the water.

"We haven't identified what was actually in the bottle, in the system that delivered it into the building. We do know that it was caustic, it was corrosive, it had a high pH level," Faulk said.

Investigators say the state Department of Environmental Protection is planning to test the chemicals from the contraption in its labs to figure out exactly what was inside, but those tests haven't been done yet.

Homemade -- but mighty effective -- the device had HAZMAT teams in full gear Sunday morning. By Monday, clean-up teams had stripped the room bare. Everything that was inside is now outside. The contaminated trash filled two dumpsters.

This person should be sent to Gitmo.

Apparently God allowed him a one-time exemption from several commandments. Either that, or he's a hypocrite of the worst kind. Hopefully God will punish him a bit more when he's in prison, through God's special angel Guido.

This reminds me of an Anderson Cooper story from last night. Different people have gone around killing people because God told them to do it. It was really sad.

Great, more crazy F'in fanatics running amuk in America....actually I agree with that one dipshit up there, they SHOULD put the guy in Gitmo.
