NC Man Arrested in Abortion Clinic Bomb Plot: ‘The Christian Counterpart of Osama Bin Laden’
Justin Carl Moose of Concord, North Carolina, has been arrested and charged in a plot to bomb a women’s health clinic.
On his Facebook page, Moose described himself as the “Christian counterpart of Usama Bin Laden.”
CONCORD, NC (WBTV) - A Concord man accused of providing information on building explosive materials to a potential bomber is behind bars in Greensboro.
According to U.S. Attorney John W. Stone Junior, 26-year-old Justin Carl Moose was arrested Tuesday on charges of providing information on how to make a bomb to a person he believed was planning to bomb a women’s health clinic in North Carolina.
Moose used Facebook, a social networking site, to advocate violence against women’s healthcare clinics, according to the criminal complaint, specifically locations where abortions are performed and the healthcare professionals employed at these facilities.
Under one of his pictures on Facebook, Moose describes himself as “whatever you may think about me, you’re probably right. Extremist, Radical, Fundamentalist…? Yep! Terrorists…? Well…. I prefer the term ‘freedom Fighter’. ‘End abortion by any means necessary and at any cost’. ‘Save a live, Shoot an abortionist’ “
During a recorded conversation, Moose referred to himself as the “Christian counterpart of Usama Bin Laden [sic].”
According to the complaint, Moose is a part of a group called the Army of God, which is considered a Christian terrorist anti-abortion organization that sanctions the use of force to combat abortion.

Not a single right wing blog has posted about this yet; it’s not on Fox News or Fox Nation, either. But if they do get around to mentioning the story, you can expect to read numerous comments supporting Justin Carl Moose.
People like Moose don’t live in a vacuum. There’s an extensive support network of enablers who may not actually want to commit violence themselves, but have no problem if someone else does it for them. And if you don’t believe this, I refer you to this thread from last year: Bad Craziness Watch: Right Wing Reaction to the Tiller Murder.
