Chron.com reports:
A Houston man has been arrested on allegations he tried to plant explosives at the statue of Confederate officer Richard Dowling in Hermann Park, according to high-level law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation.
When confronted Saturday night in the park, the man tried to drink the liquid explosives, one of the sources said.
The man was not identified by name but the sources said he had previously been convicted in 2014 and given five years probation for storing explosives.
The man was arrested about 11 p.m. Saturday in the park, a source said, following a day of protests that drew hundreds of people to Sam Houston Park protesting a Spirit of the Confederacy statue. The Saturday event also drew counter-protesters.
The details emerged as authorities evacuated a block in a Museum District neighborhood near Rice University Monday after finding hazardous materials inside of a house.
Residents living on Albans Road, between Hazard and Wilton streets, left their homes about 10 a.m., according to an emergency alert from the city of Houston.
The alert warned residents that disposing of the material could cause loud noises, smoke and damage to nearby property.

“Charlottesville ‘attack’”
Has it been officially determined this was an “attack”?
Love trumps Hate. Remember that?
Maj. Dick Dowling was an Irishman and a Catholic. Also an American. Rest in peace sir.
Yes I do.
These people are enemies and terrorist.
They should be sent to GITMO for attempted terrorism.
Bill Ayers, by chance?
the man tried to drink the liquid explosives,

Apparently we are NOT dealing with the sharpest tack in the box.
Would have been interesting had he lit a cigarette after ingesting the liquids
More terrorism, but Col. Mosby would know what to do about it.
And virtually nothing will happen to him just like the hundreds of protestor arrested on inauguration day. Whatever happened to those people after they burned cars, broke Windows and assaulted police officers? Probably nothing. I have little to no faith in the people currently holding the reigns of ‘government’ at any level.
