In Sweaden people have a HUGE respect for guns and people will tote them almost everywhere though I do not know if it’s still true and I do not know about how they react to small charge explosive kits.

The last I heard their government makes it mandatory for everyone to learn how to use a shotgun and the are given a free gun if they complete the training. They have never been invaded in any way because of that.

Criminals are deathly afraid of law abiding weapons owners and law abiding owners are a criminals worst nightmare when doing a crime.

Well if this guy wanted to (well I won’t say play) but expirement (For some reason FireFox does not like this word nor the word FireFox) with small charge explosives then he needed to have more respect for them or he would not have forgotten them in the bag.

Since these kinds of explosives have low level force then the suspect obviously needed to have had better respect for the device and not treat it like a toy he can just tote anywhere.

Nothing to say really! Nothing except welcome to the “Land of Crazy Contradictions”.. A system that thinks order and chaos is the only way to administrate this global society thing.. Get used to these irony’s, “the Land of the free”, the U.S.of A.
Keep you’re eyes on the (irrevocable) constitution!! (Hint,Hint)

“HE WHO LAUGHS LAST LAUGHS THE LOUDEST!!!” And believe me, when all is said and done, THERE WON’T BE ANY LAUGHING IN THE WHITE HOUSE, nor anywhere else where injustice and hypocrisy is prevellant!

Bringing a pipe bomb to the airport and exploding it would be a major issue. Forgetting you have one in your carry on bag is just dumb,,,

And of course because he and the former mayor said he “forgot”, that’s what must have happened, right?

Reminds me of an old Steve Martin stand-up routine: “Your honor, I FORGOT that armed robbery is against the law!”

I’m all in favor of the principle of “innocent until proven guilty”, but we are seeing a double-standard of presumption emerging in this country lately (in the press and society in general, if not (thank God) the courts), and doing favors like this for the Charles Dreylings of the world only serves to undermine faith in the rule of law and the (color)blindness of justice.

I personally know Charlie. He graduated from my high school and I was his associate member (pledge trainer) in our fraternity. Charlie is a good, God-fearing, honest, humble kid. To those who know him, there is no question this icident was a horrible mistake and NOTHING MORE. I find it highly amusing that the author of this article, and many more in the media, are attempting to politicize this incident because a family friend helped bail him out; of course, they make no mention of, and place no emphasis on, the fact that Mr. Humphries is a FORMER mayor and has been (largely) out of the political scene since losing as a Republican candidate for U.S. Congress. The beauty of America is that we all have the right to speak out, in this case make uninformed judgments, even if we have no basis for our opinion other than some political drivel.

[...] Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. [...]

Imagine this guy’s name was not Charles but Mohammed and he had a beard. Instead of $10,000 bail, he would get a one way ticket to a “tropical paradise” (in Dick Cheney’s words) of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Heh,

Well so far as I know a device like he had in his bag is outright illegal no matter whether it’s in your bag behind the sofa, in your closet, or on an airplane. The guy should probably get fined or do community service. Jail-time is ridiculous although I would not be surprised because if enough liberal media focus goes onto this they will be forced to make an example so that bleeding hearts don’t play some kind of a race card or something. It is a shame for this boy because more than likely this blunder is going to cost him very dearly. That being said, it was a stupid thing to do, and anyone that stupid does not get my thumbs up to play with explosives (especially near the public). That’s the kind of guy that doesn’t put the matchheads in a plastic bag so that they don’t ignite when you thread on the pipe cap… Jeeez. If only he’d have blown his hands off in the woods we wouldn’t be reading about this now.

@Trevor:

What happens if it just “accidentally went off”?

I do agree he should not be a convicted terrorist (knowing TSA it’s already happening), I don’t agree that he should be free of any reprimand just because nothing happened.

What’s the “agreeable middle”? Hell if I know .

Why does he deserve more than a slap on the wrist? His crime was what again? Why is bringing a gun to the airport a serious crime? That’s f**king retarded. Bringing a gun to the airport and killing people with it is a serious offense. Bringing a pipe bomb to the airport and exploding it would be a major issue.

Forgetting you have one in your carry on bag is just dumb, especially when you live in a nanny state. Welcome to the newer, more retarded society.
