"A registered sex offender, 48-year-old Mark Charles Barnett offered an unnamed affiliate $10,000 to place 10 operational homemade explosives in 10 Target stores in Florida, Virginia, and New York, the complaint alleges. The explosives, which were capable of causing "serious injury and death to nearby persons," were expected to be placed on shelves while disguised as food products."

But why you ask? What could possibly be his motive? Did Target fire him? Refuse a refund? Why would he do this horrible thing?

"Once the boxes had detonated inside of Target stores, Barnett theorized that the company's stock value would plunge allowing him to acquire shares cheaply before an eventual rebound," the complaint read.

Seems like a rather selfish thing to do eh

Barnett is also on probation for kidnapping, multiple counts of sexual battery with a weapon or force, and grand theft.

I read an article last night that talked about a guy who killed his ex-wife 20 years ago. He married a woman who had two kids, and then had two of their own. He killed her first two kids in front of her, shot her, and then used car fumes to kill his own.

At some point society needs to decide that there are people who should never, ever be among the general population. This guy sounds like one of them. If you kidnap someone and commit sexual battery - you should never see the outside of prison again.

I say build a new gladiator coliseum. Pit them against each other. Would provide a good revenue stream.

I feel that all convicted sexual offenders should be locked up forever. I don't know why this point is even debated.

It costs a lot to keep people in prison for life so the Coliseum idea is something I would debate.

The Coliseum idea is better than life in prison. I won't debate that.

I support the idea, but I'd like to see UFC rules. A fight to the death is more than I think most people want to see.

Yeah, I though it was a given we'd never see the looser again. Maybe a three strikes and you're dead sort of thing. We could say you've earned your freedom after winning ten fights. By freedom I mean we're told you were set free but you meet the lions. Win, Win all around.
