BEAVER DAM, Wis. Court records say a state Department of Justice agent found an "explosives laboratory" and white supremacist literature while investigating a fatal explosion at a Wisconsin apartment building.
State investigator Kevin Heimerl says he found 13 jars of the explosive triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, in the Beaver Dam home, along with bomb-making instructions. WKOW-TV reports Heimerl says containers labeled TATP were also found in an apartment garage.
The explosion last month killed 28-year-old Benjamin Morrow, who lived in the apartment. Authorities say they also found white supremacist literature in the bedroom. It is not clear if Morrow identified as a white supremacist.
TATP can explode if subjected to heat, friction, static electricity or shock. Authorities were forced to burn down the apartment building because the chemicals were too volatile to remove.

Agents also found at least three long guns, two handguns, more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition, a ballistic helmet and vest, and masks, the warrant says. Agents also found literature concerning white supremacist groups but the warrant does not provide details about the groups or other specifics.

Morrow previously worked as a scientist at PPD Inc. in Madison, a research company specializing in drug development, from 2014 until last year.
Morrow went to Pensacola Christian College in Florida, graduating in 2013 with a degree in pre-pharmacy and minors in chemistry and math.

(14,793 posts)I'm sure the residents in that area have been terrorized by this event, and are probably now watching their neighbors with a suspicious eye.
But, this guy will probably never have the label terrorist attached to him. If he was dark skinned, an immigrant, a Muslim or even atheist, he would have terrorist on his gravestone.

Maybe this was Scott Walker's last resort if the courts left him no choice about how to deal with them in complying with their rulings against his election fraud.

based on this it looks as if Justice came after him before he had a chance to fulfill his plan.

I despise assholes like this "supreme" one.
