A 26-year-old man has been sentenced to federal prison following his conviction for attempting to maliciously damage property receiving federal financial assistance.
Today, a judge handed Andrew Schneck a 6-year sentence to be immediately followed by three years of supervised release. The court also imposed a $10,000 fine.
On the evening of Aug. 19, 2017, a Houston park ranger observed Schneck kneeling among the bushes in front of the General Dowling Monument located in Hermann Park in Houston. Schneck was holding two small boxes with various items inside to include what appeared to be duct tape and wires. After placing the boxes on the ground per the ranger’s request, Schneck took a drink of clear liquid from a plastic bottle, spit it out and poured the remainder on the ground. The ranger then noticed a timer and wires in the box and notified the Houston Police Department (HPD).
The HPD Bomb Squad tested the clear liquid and a white powdery substance found in a small, black aluminum tube which revealed they were nitroglycerin and hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD), respectively. HMTD is a high explosive organic compound used as an initiating, or primary, explosive. Nitroglycerin is used as an active ingredient in the manufacture of explosives. ln its pure form, nitroglycerin is a contact explosive with physical shock causing it to explode and which degrades over time to even more unstable forms. Nitroglycerin is highly dangerous to transport or use.
He will receive a lot of Schnecking in prison. lolz
The South will rise again!
I would have bronzed his ass and put him back in Hermann Park with the notation on his statue “Statue of a Fool”. The judge let him off light. Fools like this should never be allowed to breed.
“Whatchu in for, white boy?”
“Trying to blow up a racist statue, my brothers in allyship.”
“Cracker, please. Get on over to the White Power boys. You can blow all the racists you want.”
Buh Bye! I’m sure the brothers in the pen will be so happy to hear how you’re sympathetic with their plight. Down with the man, right! No, down with your pants!
Only two kinds of people in jail…pitchers and catchers and I’m not talking baseball.
Meanwhile, at a southern socialist utopia of higher learning institution, this happened yesterday;

Charges unlikely to be made or stick.
The police should of made him take a swallow of that nitro….then make him do jumping jacks all the way to the squad car.
Dumb bastid. He ought to know if he wants to destroy icons of our history, and get away with it, he needs to first get elected to office and make his goals legal. Pass a law to take then down, or get in to a position where he can sell the public site for $1 to private owner – who will legally remove them. for example.
