Ella Louise Sanders, a 59 year old woman, pleaded guilty to bombing a federal courthouse and FedEx building. The explosion of the courthouse spread potentially dangerous debris around a two block radius. Fortunately, in both of these bizarre incidents, no one was harmed. From what her attorney coined “misguided vandalism” her maximum sentence will be up to 30 years in prison. She also informed police with information that she worked with others to create and plant the bombs.
What I cannot believe about this whole situation is that she believes she’s committed an act of vandalism. In no way would anyone in their right mind consider bombing a building let alone a government building. Another thing I found hard to understand was how her attorney got away with terming her inexcusable acts as “misguided vandalism”. This is terrorism. An explosion that causes debris to reach a distance of two blocks is in no way vandalism. Spray painting on signs is vandalism. There is not a fine line between the two. Finally, having admitted to working with others to create and plant the bombs, hopefully she will cooperate with the police and bring the other conspirers to justice.
