Lucas John "Luke" Helder (born May 5, 1981) also known as the Midwest Pipe Bomber, is an American domestic terrorist and former University of WisconsinâStout student from Pine Island, Minnesota. In 2002, while attending the University of WisconsinâStout, Helder planned to plant pipe bombs in mailboxes across the United States to create a smiley face shape on the United States map.
Less than a year after a University of Wisconsin-Stout student was charged with planting pipe bombs in mailboxes, a second UW-Stout student faces criminal charges related to the devices. The 19-year-old student was charged Monday with possessing explosives after being found with 11 pipe bombs in his dorm room.
"If I had a nickel for every time a Stout engineering student made Stout Complaints, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice"
"Don't get so heated you send a Stout Complaint"
"Some diabolical separatist organizations sent Stout Complaints to their opponents"
"There are tutorials on building Stout Complaints which I wholeheartedly disavow."
