Indiana Man Got 'Riled Up' Watching Fox News, Drank 45 Beers, And Then Set Fire To A Mosque

A 52-year-old truck driver has pleaded guilty to driving from his home in Indiana to set a mosque on fire in Ohio, Toledo Blade reported yesterday.

Randolph Linn said he got "riled up" watching Fox News and drank 45 beers in seven hours before setting the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo on fire, according to The Sentinel-Tribune.

The drive from his Indiana home to the mosque was nearly two hours.

Linn said he wanted "to get some payback" for Americans who had been killed, according to the Blade.

He admitted, however, that he didn't personally know any Muslims, but believed they were extremists from what he saw on the news, according to the Toledo Blade.

Linn will spend 20 years in prison as part of a plea agreement and pay restitution to the mosque.

The drive from his Indiana home to the mosque was nearly two hours.

His home in St. Joe, Ind., is 85 miles away from Toledo. With seven and a half six packs under his belt, he must have gotten to the mosque by osmosis.

45 beers within a 7 hour span

Back in my drinking days, we could put down 6 packs in less than half an hour. This guy was drinking too slow!

After 45 beers, he could’ve put out “The Towering Inferno”.

FOX News! Your "assault" cable news channel!

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Of course, it would seem to get the NRA off the hook and make one think that Hollywood and video game makers ARE the ones responsible for the shootings at Sandy Hook (Since no one wants to blame Adam Lanza). We may also want to look at banning "assault beer".

If this guy is drinking 45 beers & still functioning he needs to start drinking a MUCH better quality of beer than whatever crappy lager he prefers.

Okay, let's see here:

- Watching Fox News --- About $2 (cable TV).

- Drinking 45 beers in 7 hours --- approximately $45.(hic!) - Burning down a mosque --- PRICELESS.

...drank 45 beers in seven hours...

Is this a Guinness Book of World Records try? I couldn't do that many beers in seven hours on my best day.

5.56mm

Prisons are likely full of Hussein-lovers ans they’ll probably try to kill him.
