Back in May, 2012 when Seth Roberts and his roommate, Wesley Peters, were arrested for having two shrapnel-packed pipe bombs at their Lamar County Line Road home, he was labeled ‘Bubba bomber’ and ‘homegrown terrorist’. Last week, in Lamar superior court, he got a new lease on a new life he has already started building.

A little bit would explode like an M-80 and leave a pot hole if put in a pipe. My buddies and I used to go way out in a field far from any houses and set it off. If we left the pipe open on one end, it would launch like a rocket.
Of course I was in fifth or sixth grade, didn't put nails in it, and I didn't have a safe full of weed. But today, even the rocket fuel probably would have gotten me in serious trouble. :)
