When 23-year-old Cole Carini showed up Wednesday at a Virginia hospital missing a hand and several fingers on his other hand, he blamed a lawnmower accident, federal authorities say.
But police, who knew that Carini had a previous conviction on explosives charges, got a search warrant for his Richlands home and called in the FBI.
Investigators found no signs the lawn had been mowed recently or of any lawnmower accident, an FBI affidavit says.
But they did find a trail of blood leading from a red minivan in the driveway into the home and up the stairs to Carini’s bedroom. In the room, investigators found more blood, bits of flesh, a bottle of explosives and a box of rusty nails.
They also found what appeared to be a homemade bomb that had exploded, peppering the room with shrapnel.
In a shed at his grandmother's nearby home, investigators found PVC pipes, wires, batteries and other potential bomb-making equipment, along with a crumpled note.
The note expressed anger at "hot cheerleaders" and admiration for Elliot Rodgers, a self-described "incel" who killed six people and injured 14 others in Isla Vista, California, in 2014 before killing himself.
Incels, shorthand for "involuntarily celibate," hate women for rejecting them as sexual partners.
The note described an imaginary suicide bomber's tension "as he now approached the stage of hot cheerleaders" at a shopping mall, vowing to "be heroic" and "make a statement" as Rodgers did.
When investigators questioned Carini at the hospital, he said his injuries resulted from a lawnmower tipping over, mangling his hands and then exploding. He also denied having any explosives at his home.
Carini has been charged with lying to federal investigators about how he was injured and whether or not he possessed explosives, the release from the U.S. Attorney's Office says.
"It's a situation where my son needs help, and I hope he gets the help he needs," said Carini’s mother.
Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
This country needs better access to mental health care

I'm honestly not laughing, youtube and the web has allowed these kids to become like this. I'll go further, the "red pill" culture and the rightist group mentality encourages it.
