Trying to Burn the Nevada Supreme Court [but not in effigy]

In Carson City, an anti-government activist/convicted sex offender tried to protest the legislature's special session by spray painting and trying to burn the Nevada Supreme Court building.

The Review-Journal reports:

A 26-year-old man was arrested Thursday and charged with arson after an incendiary device was ignited at the Nevada Supreme Court Building on Sunday evening, the state Department of Public Safety announced.

Black spray paint was also used to write an anti-government slogan on the court building. There was minor damage to the structure, but no injuries as a result of the incident . . .

During questioning, Hollis and other sources indicated that Hollis had planned to stage an event that would "send a message" during the special legislative session . . .

During interviews, Hollis told others he wanted to blow up the Nevada State Supreme Court building and hurt people in the government. He also mentioned he is upset over changes in the tier system for sex offenders scheduled to take effect Tuesday.

Hmm . . . maybe tracking the movements and location of all convicted sex offenders isn't such a bad idea. I mean, I know this guy is protesting the government's ability to track him, but he kind of proved law enforcement's point on the need to keep track of sex offenders, didn't he?
