Falwell Student Planned to Bomb Demonstrators at his Funeral

The Falwell legacy of hate and intolerance seems to be taught quite well at Liberty University.

A Liberty University student who told a family member he had made bombs and planned to attend the funeral of the Rev. Jerry Falwell was apparently upset about an anti-gay fringe group that protested at the funeral, authorities said. Mark David Uhl, of Amissville, was arrested Monday night after a family member contacted authorities, who found homemade bombs in the trunk of Uhl's car, Major Steve Hutcherson said. The five bombs were describes as ''sort of like napalm'' and about the size of soda cans. ''We do not believe the Falwells were ever in any danger,'' authotities said.
