Federal prosecutors on Wednesday charged a 28-year-old Kansas City man with attempting to firebomb the local congressional office of Rep. Emanuel Cleaver on Sept. 11.

Eric G. King of Kansas City will make his initial appearance in federal court Thursday morning. According to court records, King has espoused anti-government, anarchist views on social media.

Kansas City police initially identified King as a suspect because he previously had come under scrutiny during an investigation of anti-government graffiti on a local Bank of America building and the spray painting of Kansas City police vehicles, according to federal court records.

2. This is probably irrelevant

but I've noticed that a good number of notorious RWers are named Eric/Erik/Erick. Besides the guy wanted for killing a PA state trooper, there's one who is now in prison after hiding in the wilderness for several years (abortion-clinic bombings, I believe) - plus Erik Prince of Blackwater infamy.
