| NY Man Planned to Blow Self Up in DC Over Country's Direction |
| 2018-10-11 |
| [NBCNEWYORK] Police and FBI agents searched a Hudson Valley home Wednesday after learning about a man who was allegedly building a bomb in order to blow himself up in Washington D.C., two law enforcement officials told News 4 New York. Investigators said they were concerned the man, identified as Paul Rosenfeld, at the home on Slocum Avenue in Orangetown was in the process of acquiring bomb parts. Officials tell News 4 Rosenfeld had no criminal history but had told a news hound in Pennsylvania he planned to blow himself up on the Washington Mall around Election Day because he was angry about the country's direction. He had no plans to hurt anyone else, officials said. He is believed to be a lone actor not affiliated with any international terror group or ideology. |

| #7 "Sortition?" The guy might have a point about sortition (I didn't know about it before this or that there was a name for it). However, no need to get all blown-up about it. Just get a soapbox and try to sell your pet cause. |

| #5 I do appreciate the fact that he reached out to a journalist. No doubt thinking they were like minded and very supportive of the notion of blowing up something in Washington DC. |

| #3 “draw attention to his political belief in ‘sortation.’” Sortation is an ancient Greek method of randomly selecting government officials. Can't approve of his publicity methods, but could Sortation give us any worse than we have now? I've always thought that wanting an elected office was prima facie evidence that you were unfit for that office. |

| #1 He is believed to be a lone actor not affiliated with any international terror group or ideology. $10 sez he's a registered Democrat. |
