Judge rejects request to strike don't-tell-how-to-make-a-bomb law

"On Aug. 1, 2003, [radical activist Rodney] Coronado gave a speech in Hillcrest in which, in response to a question from the audience, he demonstrated how he made a gasoline-fueled device he used to burn down a Michigan State University laboratory in 1992.

Hours earlier, an arson fire destroyed a huge housing complex under construction in University City causing $50 million in damage. A group for which Coronado has acted as spokesman, the Earth Liberation Front, or ELF, took credit.

Coronado has not been charged in connection with that arson, but he was charged with breaking the law on telling people how to make a destructive device."

Maybe he should have just told the audience to go look it up in the library.
