A Ridgewood physician
has been indicted on charges that he caused
the risk of widespread damage by stashing large amounts of bomb-making
materials at his home.
Roberto Rivera, 60, also is charged with the criminal possession of two
Cobray M11 9mm assault rifles, a stun gun and a large-capacity ammunition
magazine that authorities said were found at his home.
The
11-count indictment returned Wednesday by a grand jury in Bergen County also
charges Rivera with possessing two other rifles and a .40-caliber handgun
despite having been prohibited from possessing firearms because he had
previously been committed to an institution for a mental disorder. Prosecutors declined
comment on Friday about his commitment to a hospital.
Police said they
responded to Rivera’s home on Nov. 16, 2012, on a hazardous-material report and
found chemicals in his basement, prompting a
Bergen County bomb squad and an FBI terrorism task force to join
the search.
They said that as the
search continued, they found large amounts of
nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, glycerin, sulfuric acid, calcium hypochlorite
and potassium perchlorate — all chemicals that can be used in making
explosives. They also said they found 10 pounds of thermite and 10 thermite
lighters, which can be used to detonate bombs.
Prosecutors have not
commented on Rivera’s motive in collecting the material, whether he had a
specific plan or whether he acted alone or with a group. They did, however, say
they found folders marked “revolution” and
“anarchism” in his home, along with documents on how to make
explosives.
Rivera
also was quoted in a Bloomberg News report last year voicing his support for
Occupy Wall Street protesters.
Obviously,
the reporting out of New Jersey is incorrect. Only those ‘racist teabaggers’
are violent or potentially violent.
