Terrorists arrested (caught manufacturing explosives in a bar)

[Elwar]

Two fire-breathing bartenders face up to 45 years in prison each for performing flaming bar tricks.

Jimmy's Old Town Tavern owner Jimmy Cirrito said his bartenders have been entertaining his customers -- by juggling bottles of alcohol and spitting out streams of flames using matchbooks and lighters -- for more than a decade and no one's complained. But shortly after midnight on July 24, two of his longtime employees were hauled out of the Herndon bar in handcuffs and charged with three felonies each plus other misdemeanors

"They were being treated as if they were terrorists, charged as if they intentionally tried to burn down the tavern," Cirrito said.

Fairfax County fire investigators charged Tegee Rogers, 33, of Herndon, and Justin Fedorchak, 39, of Manassas, with manufacturing an explosive device, setting a fire capable of spreading, and burning or destroying a meeting house. They also were charged with several state fire code misdemeanors.

The first two I can "kinda" understand (and that's a big "kinda") but "burning or destroying a meeting house". Is that a crime?

Man I love being free. This story makes me want to head to the Lincoln Memorial and sing the National Anthem with those 25 high schoolers.

Not.

[Mr.Magnanimous]

Great, this means more Tax money possibly being spent to take care of two innocent people in prison. This whole situation is ridiculous, especially a possible sentence of 45 years. Is the "crime" really worth throwing the lives of these two men away? If they were really hell-bent on punishing them, why not fine them, at least they would make money that way. But no, Throw them away into a cell for the rest of their lives while tax payers support them.

Now these people are going to end up dishing out a fortune to pay for lawyers to defend themselves in court.

This is what happens when you send your fire marshals for anti-terrorism training with the Department of Homeland Security. Are we ready to reexamine BOTH parties' version of big government love yet?
