TL;DR Summary

Sean Patrick Palmer of Oklahoma has been arrested for allegedly throwing a pipe bomb at the Massachusetts headquarters of The Satanic Temple, a group advocating for secularism and individual liberties.

Palmer, who faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty, had posted similar comments on social media and was linked to the incident through surveillance footage and a recent purchase of PVC pipe. The Satanic Temple, which does not worship Satan or believe in the supernatural, could not be reached for comment.
