Just damn, what a moron, I hope she was worth serious prison time.

That might work. Or roses.

Good news for him is that he can probably spend it in a federal prison instead of a state lockup. Although I expect Colorado prisons are much nicer than you find in parts of the deep south.

[PGR88]

At least that will employ 10 FBI agents and postal inspectors for a while.

That ‘Rocky Mountain High’ will do funny stuff to a person....just saying...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

His girlfriend is impressed by blowing up mailboxes? Is her name Bonnie? Is his name Clyde?

[Ken H]

Chicks just can’t resist guys who blow up mailboxes.

[DesertRhino]

I can see this. And when did our government lose its sense of humor?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Good thing only junk mail was destroyed. Now if he had bombed an E-Mail server, serious disruption would occur.

[Delta 21]

He blowed that mail box up real good.

I read the title, and immediately thought “...has to be Florida”.

“John Henry Bowman.” I thought this was about the drummer of Led Zeppelin! Now I want to hear Moby Dick.

About 14 or 15 years the sheriff of a small town in Lanesboro, Minnesota who set some buildings on fire to try and win back his girlfriend. He planned to "arrive" at the fires the same time as the fire department and "do something heroic" to impress his former girlfriend, but the fire got out of hand.

He was sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to pay back $700,000 for destroying three historic buildings.

His romantic gesture did quite a number on the concrete pylon holding the sign, too.

“Hold my beer”

That guy is either a special kind of stupid, or his girlfriend is impressed by wannabe terrorist types-that said, I can see fining the fool for damages, and charging him with destroying property but-why call in the militia for a mailbox,even if it is considered postal service property? It is an inanimate object...

[PROCON]

The things we do for love.

[Dilbert San Diego]

So how did it work out?? Did he enjoy a mind blowing passionate night with her???

[petenmi]

We want to know, did he get “lucky”?

[PROCON]

Well, I’m sure his fellow cell mate will get “lucky.”
