I suppose there could be more than one guy with that name, so take care!

[mohresearcher]

We need more information from NJ about the background of this wacko. Thank God that he was stopped before another bloodbath terrorist event.

Mykyta Panasenko. With a name like that is it OK to assume that he and/or his family are recent emigres?

Would it be politically incorrect, if I asked what his religious beliefs are?

[Colorado Doug]

This will not bode well for reloaders. You can expect them to go after all stripes of smokeless powder next.

On his Facebook page he claims to be from Kiev, Ukraine.

May be, or may have been a Rutger's student majoring in a technical discipline.

Seems to be a respected chess player

In his title-clinching game against New York Class A player Mykyta Panasenko, Till plays the Black side of a Classical King’s Indian to near perfection. White’s queen-side push comes to nothing, and Panasenko can do nothing but brace himself as Black builds up his king-side counterattack, sacrificing a pawn to open lines to the White king.

Just another lone wolf. Pay no attention. The real threat is from conservatives, prior military, Tea Party, Christians, NRA, GOA, and Freepers. Islam is a religion of peace, and immigrants are our strength so those two groups should not have to follow the same rules as those who oppose Obama.

Although the arrest was made more than a week ago, it was not reported by authorities. The Jersey Journal learned about the incidents when Panasenko appeared in Central Judicial Processing court to hear the charges Wednesday.

Authorities? Which ones? Good collar, so it must have been local and not fed.

Thank you, Lord for the arrest. I don’t think I could handle a Boardwalk AND a Marathon in the same week.

It’s in Ukrainian.

Google translates:

September 5th march through the streets Khmelnytsky was a healthy young people. The action was aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle and straight edge movement among conscious Khmelnytsky. As planned, we have declared their protest against alcohol and drug genocide against the Ukrainian people. West wore a peaceful and informative.

The event attracted about 60 people, including supporters of the characteristics of the Cossacks, as well as our associates in Vinnytsia, Ternopil and Lviv. Participants carried banners reading “Drugs are for the weak,” “Keep the blood clean” and “sober youth against degradation.” There were slogans: “Healthy Youth - Healthy Future,” “Youth - the stadiums,” “Sports - Health of the Nation,” “Do you want to die? Hens,” “You want to die? Thumps,” “against alcohol, against degradation. Youth of Ukraine for the health of the nation “,” alcoholic - untermensh “,” Drugs - for weakest “,” Drugs - Plague Age “,” Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Heroes! “ and others. Overall consistently and loudly.

The march began at the “Eternal Flame” was the center of the street Proskurivska by “hot spot” (which, incidentally, is dotted almost every street of the city) to the “Children’s World”, then on the street. Cathedral to Independence Square. In order followed four policemen. Before the building of the regional council was told the final word and the participants dispersed peacefully: who to football, who the station who home that is in the active holiday in a lovely Saturday evening. It touched an unfamiliar word grandfather who passed by us, share and praised us. Marsh revealed the conscious people that the Ukrainian people still have hope for the future. Not all brains still drink away and all is lost health. It is important to continue to conduct such activities and an active promotion of ideas among our population. It is unfortunate that the witnesses, and maybe even some random protesters do not understand the lesson and continue to “drink beer with friends” or “cultural drink on holidays.” Let us remember that we have a great responsibility for the future of Ukraine as a step back! Pretty poison yourself!

Darn! You beat me to it and did a better job of it too!

[Joe Boucher]

Sooo,
I guess it’s illegal to take your bombs on a train?
Who knew?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***It appears to be at least Slavic in origin. ****

Well that figures! Back in the 1880s after the Johnstown Flood there were caught Eastern European Immigrants (Huns) looting the bodies of the dead!

They were immediately hung or shot.

[BCW]

I wonder if someone paid him to make these - and he was delivering them??? What is a math masters doing constructing bombs...but then again, a boxer and his lackey little brother did it just recently....

[txhurl]

So what might have driven this guy. No girlfriend?

[BCW]

ah...probably something like this happened to him...but insurgent IED style

[glock rocks]

May just be - no high-ranking sources speaking on the condition of anomimity... perhaps a well run local LEA. Will be interesting to follow.

[Jane Long]

That story line caught my attention, too.

Arrest, over a week ago, wasn't reported by authorities....

The FBI did not return calls for more details....

There they go again....following only the laws they deem necessary.

[txhurl]

And no family calling CNN from the Ukraine to shriek, kinda odd.

Lawyers use arrest records - they show up at 8am with breakfast and coffee for the clerks - to mail out solicitations to the perp’s home address. Guess none of them
wanted to touch this one. Or even talk about it.
