Today an Oklahoma man, Sean Patrick Palmer, pleaded guilty to one count of “using an explosive device to damage and attempt to damage a building used in interstate or foreign commerce.”
According to police, on April 8, 2024 around 4 o’clock in the morning Palmer threw a homemade bomb at the satanic temple in Salem.
The bomb did not detonate and surveillance video captured the incident. Using the video footage, police were able to identify and arrest Palmer.
Along with the bomb Palmer placed a six-page handwritten note in a nearby flower bed.
A section of the note reads:
DEAR SATANIST
ELOHIM SEND ME 7 MONTHS AGO TO GIVE YOU
PEACEFUL MESSAGE TO HOPE YOU REPENT. YOU SAY
NO, ELOHIM NOW SEND ME TO SMITE SATAN AND I
HAPPY TO OBEY. AND ELOHIM WANT ME TO CONTACT
YOU TO TELL YOU REPENT. TURN FROM SIN. ELOHIM
NO LIKE THIS PLACE AND PLAN TO DESTROY IT. MAYBE
SALEM TOO? ELOHIM SEND ME TO FIGHT CRYBABY
SATAN, BUT WANT ME TO MAKE HARD EFFORT SO NO
ONE DIES. I OBEY.
Palmer’s sentencing will take place at a later date. He could face a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison.
