An ex-New York City high school teacher was charged in a federal complaint Thursday for allegedly using students to assist in making a bomb.

Christian Toro, a 27-year-old Bronx resident, appeared in Manhattan federal court for the alleged offenses. The complaint also said Christian Toro was arrested Jan. 31 on a charge of raping an individual under age 17.

Authorities claim in the complaint that Toro hired at least two students to dismantle fireworks for explosive powder at $50 an hour.

His twin brother, Tyler Toro, has been arrested in the case.

The case grew out of a bomb threat called into a charter school in Harlem by students on Dec. 4, the Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said, citing the complaint.

An investigation ensued, and on Jan. 10, Christian Toro abruptly resigned from the school. Two days later, Tyler Toro returned his brother's school-issued laptop, where a technician discovered "bomb-making instructions."

Law enforcement obtained a search warrant and raided the Toros' Bronx apartment on Thursday, and found "over 30 pounds of chemicals, which taken together in certain combinations, constituted explosive precursor materials," officials said.

The diary, according to the complaint, stated, among other things: “Christian arrested" and "If you're registered as a sex offender, things will be difficult."

"We are twin Toros strike us now, we will return with nano thermite" and “I am here 100 percent, living, buy weapons. Whatever we need," the diary read, according to the complaint.

The diary added, "I hope this doesn't turn into a scene from Goodfellas," after threatening retribution if anyon were to "strike us now."

A backpack belonging to Christian Toro was also allegedly recovered, containing a purple index card with a handwritten note, which read: “Under the full moon the small ones will know terror.”

Well, I hope the Union sees to it that he is only suspended with pay.

Zorro needs to carve a “Z” in Toro’s derrière so inmates will know who he is...

Next set of questions;
Who were the targets or what organizations was buying the bombs?
ISIS, Antifa, LaRaza, BLM, MS13?
How many have already been sold?

A good question. Who was giving unemployed teachers enough cash to pay students $50 a hour?

I don’t know anything about the makeup of fireworks. How are these different than black or smokeless powder?

I was thinking along those lines. Why break down fireworks? Easy enough to obtain the black powder elsewhere, or make your own from scratch. That teacher needs a teacher.

The explosive strength of various powders varies tremendously. Don’t have any info on that in this case.

In reloading powders, Norma R1 and Winchester WAALite are about the most powerful, i.e., most energy per gram, pound, etc.

Horowitz tells the story of growing up with his communist parents who were part of the NYC teachers union which was almost all communist in leadership.

[In closing, since I have not posted it in the last hour, we must always emphasize that national journalists are not mistaken — they are instead lying scum.]

"Tyler Toro returned his brother's school-issued laptop, where a technician discovered "bomb-making instructions.""

It helps that a good proportion of criminals and terrorists are just plain stoopid.... and/or careless.
