General Sessions Court Judge Bob Moon said the man charged with setting a fire in a downtown hotel is "an unwelcome undesirable" illegal alien.
Judge Moon told Bario Gomez, "Undesirables like you are not welcome in this country. You are a Latino terrorist who entered this country illegally and soon plotted significant personal injury and damage to the people and businesses in our community."
Authorities said Gomez is an illegal alien with no proof of identification. Officials also said he gave police a false name.
The INS placed a hold on Gomez, 20, after charges of aggravated arson and aggravated vandalism were filed against him.
Judge Moon told him, "It is undesirables like you who create many unjustifiable problems and prejudices upon the good people who enter this country legally in chasing a dream for a better life for themselves and their families.
"Mr. Gomez, you nor any other citizen from a foreign land has a right to enter this country; you simply have a privilege to enter this country through the proper legal channels.
"You are a domestic terrorist who is an imminent threat to the safety of our people and their property. You are also a supreme flight risk from justice. It is with duty, comfort and ease that I increase your bond significantly in an appropriate amount to insure your appearance in further proceedings and to insure the safety of this community."
The bond was raised from $30,000 to $1 million. The previous bond was set by Magistrate James Purple, which Judge Moon described as "another ludicrously low bond."
According to Arson Investigator James Whitmire, Gomez checked into the hotel with his girlfriend. Testimony by Whitmire and management officials indicated that Gomez placed a toaster filled with matches in a microwave oven in his room intending a massive "delayed burn."
Proof also showed that multiple towels were stuffed into the toilet in order to retard the water supply. The hotel manager testified that the towels were stuffed so deeply that the pipes had to be disassembled to remove them. She also stated that the room was severely damaged and vandalized.
Capt. Whitmire testified that "hundreds of people were evacuated, including children."
He said, "If the fire had established itself many families and children would have most likely lost their lives or been severely injured. Being on the fourth floor, the fire would have been difficult to contain."

Is this a Poster Boy picture of the guy who will do jobs Americans will not do?
Such as burn down hotels filled with families.
In many countries foreigners have to furnish a passport to book a room.
I hope ICE will deport this guy after he does his 50 plus years for arson.

Dear Presidente Jorge Boosh, My name is Bario Gomez and I would like to apply for a pardon, I am a misunderstood Latino expert in fireworks production and have beeen unjustly imprisoned by a bigoted redneck judge in Tenneeseeee who hurt my feelings with his mean words and demeanor (my fellow jail mate said that the word demeanor means even meaner than mean). Thank you Mr. Presidente. Bario Gomez, Chattanooga Tenneesseeee PS Is the Pathway to Citizenship included in a pardon? PPS Oh, and El Presidente, please continue to send me my UI and Workman's Comp checks, my SS# retirement checks under several names, my SSI checks (for a severe case of ADD), my EITC tax refunds under several ID's, and also my multiple welfare checks under different names. While in jail, I'll make a bundle selling drugs to inmates, so would you please open a Western Union account for me so that I can launder, then convert drug money to pesos, to send back to Acapulco, Mexico where I am buying several luxury condos. Thank you, again, El Presidente Boosh.

I talked to my Aunt in Nashville last night and she said it’s gotten so bad in her part of town that she thinks she’s living in Mexico. She doesn’t go out at night any more.

Judge Moon should get a medal and a raise.

To the responder’s silly comment let me say Judge Moon is not running for re-election. He just won an eight year term last year with the high votes of nineteen judges that were also up for re-election. The 1 million dollar bond was set by the judge without any re-election concerns; his concern was folowing the law and taking into custody a dangerous criminal.
