Gee, for some reason, this story hasn't managed to make it out of the
local news and into the national headlines:

CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio – Following a pipe bomb explosion Monday night,
police and federal law enforcement officials are trying to figure why
a Center Avenue man turned his apartment into a bomb factory.

Police said no charges have been filed against Mark Campano, 56.
Police found 30 completed pipe bombs in his apartment along with
components to make more, plus 17 guns and hundreds of rounds of
ammunition.

Campano is in an Akron hospital with injuries received when one of the
bombs exploded.

As police and federal authorities puzzle over Campano's past and what
he planned to do with the bombs, a former neighbor said Campano often
railed against the government.

Barbara Vachon lived next door to Campano at the Center Park Place
Apartments for several years and said he was a big reason she moved.

"He was always trying to get me and another neighbor to listen to
anti-government tapes and watch anti-government videos," said Vachon.
"I would never watch them. He was some kind of radical, and he didn't
believe in the government."

She said there were other warnings.

"There were a few times I heard minor explosions from outside the
apartment building, and he would scream that he had hurt himself," she
said. "I never knew what he was up to."

Vachon said Campano seemed to be most active at night.

"There was a steady stream of creepy visitors going in and out of his
apartment," she said.

The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms is also investigating the
case.

Of course, if this had been a Muslim extremist caught with such an
arsenal, we'd be getting talk-show panels on Hannity featuring
Michelle Malkin ranting at length about the threat of Islamic jihad,
blah blah blah. Not to mention chatty discussion on Fox and Friends
and Morning Joe.

But instead, because he's just a white anti-government extremist, hey,
let's just give it a big shrug.

All to true, sad to say!
