Justin Carl Moose To Plead Guilty To Putting Bomb Info On Facebook

GREENSBORO, N.C. — A North Carolina man who used his Facebook page to urge violence against abortion clinics is pleading guilty to federal charges of passing bomb-making instructions to an informant.

Justin Carl Moose signed a plea bargain with prosecutors. Documents filed in federal court in Greensboro show the 26-year-old will plead guilty to distributing information on making and using explosives.

Court documents say Moose posted links and instructions on making bombs to his Facebook page. In other Facebook posts, the 26-year-old called himself a "freedom fighter" and said he wanted to end abortion by any means necessary.

A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled. Moose faces up to 20 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.

didn't we have this discussion some 30 or 40 years ago with the "Anarchist's Cookbook"?
relaying the how to info is protected speech, advocating use of said info for actual violence is not...
thought this was a settled matter

Interesting tho there are already plenty of places on the internet where you can get the same info.
Why facebook, just google.
