Student at college Jerry Falwell founded is held after testimony of violent plans
SUE LINDSEY Associated Press Writer

(AP) - ROANOKE, Virginia-A federal judge refused to release from jail a university student charged with possessing a bomb the night before the Rev. Jerry Falwell's funeral, saying there was compelling evidence he could pose a danger.

Mark David Uhl told authorities he did not intend to hurt anyone, according to testimony from a special agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.


But the agent, R.A. Davidson, also testified that the 19-year-old had other plans for violence, including a plot with a friend to disrupt a dance at his former high school in Virginia with heated homemade pepper spray

A search of Uhl's computer turned up photographs of Adolf Hitler and young adults giving a Nazi salute, with one caption that said "I love Hitler," the agent said.

1. no surprise
I lived in Lynchburg for 2 years while I attended Virginia School of the Arts and considering my experience with the Falwell people.... I not in the least bit surprised at anything in this story including Hitler stuff...Saddened but not surprised.

5. I saw this story on MSM minus the fact that student
attended Falwell's college. What an odd fact to omit from the story; makes me wonder who pressured for this omission.
