A man carried a home-made bomb into the State of Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission office on Wednesday, incensed by the absence of the letter "d" on the sign outside their building:
According to his manifesto on YouTube:
Secondly, my hope — is for you to be literate! If you’re literate in English grammar, then you comprehend English grammar. The majority of people, who reside in District-8, are illiterate — hilarious. I don’t control your English grammar structure, but you control your English grammar structure. [...] You don’t allow the government to control your grammar structure, listener? [...] In conclusion, reading the second United States Constitution, I can’t trust the current government because of the ratifications: The government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar.
We all knew this day would come. Some of us have been secretly hoping for it. You have no place to hide any more.
