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.

BRAVO SIERRA over a six pack an hour and he drove for 2 hours.

I agree, for even the heaviest drinkers it is a rare egg that can drink 24 beers in that time, 30 in an evening is a HUGE amount and very rare, 40? while sitting in front of the TV?

This guy is a true professional. When I was in college we used to do a 24/24 every now and then, where the goal was to drink one beer an hour for 24 hours. Most of us couldn’t do it. 45 in seven hours is damn impressive.

Or that Canadian beer called ‘Wildcat’. I think that stuff is about 9% alcohol.

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.

Oh, I think I remember reading about that guy. Wasn’t he the first human to receive a shark liver transplant?

Then driving for 2 hrs AND still be able to function and carry out his mission.

I must say his tolerance level is fairly high.

I was drinking 1 1/2 cases +- a day when I stopped and people look at you like you have 2 heads when you tell them that.

It really isn’t that hard as long as you put your mind to it and I will (reluctantly) add I probably didn’t draw a complete ‘sober’ breath for quite a few years....

So here we have a truck driver(??) drinking 2 cases of beer in a few hours, navigating a vehicle and setting a fire, seems kind of a stretch and at the least, if he can drink that much in one setting his truck driving job definitely doesn’t have any serious ‘testing’ as a ‘rookie’ would be quite blitzed, if alive....

American beer is weak, I can see that. My grandpa used to drink like that, but since he did it all day long he wasn’t visibly impaired at any point. From the time he woke up to the time he laid down, a Bud was in his hand.

How could he stand up much less find his car and also understand what Fox was saying after 45 beers? How could he still be alive after 45 beers?. Something smells here.

How many Saudi ambassadors and security guards did he kill?
And most importantly, will the feds arrest Shepard Smith
in the middle of the night?
