Michael O’Neill, a former Niagara County, New York corrections officer, apparently tried to use a hot glue gun to seal the fuse on one of several bombs he was building in his stepfather’s garage, when something went terribly awry.

Police believe that the fuse on the improvised explosive device (IED) “may have caught fire,” and that O’Neill “may have tried to stomp-out” the burning fuse, when the bomb exploded, blowing his foot off. He was transported by life flight to a local hospital, where his leg was later amputated as a result of his injuries.

Along with seven homemade bombs, police found an array of white supremacist propaganda, including materials distributed by the Ku Klux Klan and Nazis.

One of O’Neill’s homemade bombs was labeled “Powder w/Nails.” An x-ray of the IED showed that the bomb was packed with nails.

16. Depends on what was amputated

If he can no longer breed, then a Darwin Award may still be appropriate.

2. But I thought the real problem was Muslims and Brown people in general. Must be

since we dont want to let any Syrians in, we hate Mexicans I have heard, since they are also Brown and all rapists.

Surely the occasional homegrown rightwing xtian dumb ass terrorist is no problem, right!

10. Tried to stamp out the lit fuse on a bomb......

Too bad nobody has a video of this.
It would easily make the Dumbest Criminal Show of the week.


I once saw a guy pouring gasoline from a gas can into a running go-cart.
The can's nozzle caught on fire, which wasn't so bad, but when he panicked and started twirling and spewing burning gasoline everywhere, and then threw the burning can over a fence into someone else's yard..... it turned into an issue.

Some of those Nazis practiced eugenics, and for a dumbkopf boo-boo like that, at the very least they'd advocate a snip-snip of his tubules.
