Could Larry North's alleged spree planting pipe bombs in East Texas mailboxes have some connection to the savings and loan crisis of two decades ago?

PERMALINK | COMMENTS (28) | RECOMMEND RECOMMEND (4)An East Texas man who federal prosecutors allege left explosive devices including pipe bombs in multiple area mail boxes, was motivated in part by anger at the government, Brit Featherston, first assistant U. S. attorney for the Eastern District of Texas tells TPMmuckraker in a phone interview.
"It does appear that there were two motives: one, that he was disenchanted with the federal government, and, two, he was disenchanted with an individual who he perceived that had wronged him," says Featherston of 52-year-old Larry North, who was arrested today.
