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 mosque was twenty minutes away. The trip took two hours because he stopped seventeen times to pee. :=)
It would be interesting to pull up the “many” stories about Muslims on Fox that supposedly set this guy off. I betting there weren’t any. If there were any, I’m betting they were so mild that even an idiot liberal would be surprised anyone was “set off” by the story.
That does it, shut Fox News down. They are a terrorist organization.
42 beers at 12 oz each is a little over 4.2 gallons. How does a person consume over 4 gallons of anything in 7 hours? I’m not sure I could do that with water.
where can i donate bailmoney,gas,and matches if he promises to burn another one?
Probably ‘sex in a canoe’ beer. Especially if it was anything with ‘Lite’ in it’s name. Probably not that big a feat.
I’d want to see him drink 45 bottles of ‘Arrogant Bastard’ in 7 hours, but I don’t really want to watch someone die of alcohol poisoning.
He must have been O’Reiled up!.............
After 45 beers, he wouldn’t remember what he was watching
Yeah, I noticed that.
It’s written by a Muzzie who wants Sharia speech control over America. Screw him.
Fox New is awful. Its only the media’s way of deluding conservatives. It has no conservative foundation.
You gotta respect a man that can hold that much alcohol.
“The drive from his Indiana home to the mosque was nearly two hours.”
And the mosque was 1/2 mile away.
Or else he's gone to the Ted Kennedy school of holding your liquor. Uncle Ted's training will turn your flabby liver into a rock solid drinking machine.
(Due to Ted's unplanned three year sobriety, classes will be taught by one of the next generation of Kennedys holding up a fine family tradition.)
Yeah, I was thinking this could create a new weekend sport here in Texas.....I already know some that have the drinking part covered, just need to give em some combustible/flammable material and dare ‘em.
Outlaw all 24-hour news stations.
Just because nobody has yet shot up a church full of white people after having been "riled up" by racist Chris Matthews doesn't mean it won't happen.
Actually, it was that Rush Limbaw feller. He's on Fox News, right? It's his fault.
Fox News is HATE SPEECH! Ban it now! Draft the bill, Feinstein!
Randolph's got a gold watch
Don't seem like a whole lot
After thirty years of drivin'
Up and down the interstate
But Randolph's been watchinig too much Fox News
Forty Five Beers and a Mosque on Fire
Ten more miles on his four day run
A few more songs from the all night radio
Then he'll spend the next 20 years in jail
