Looks inbred, like Rashida Tlaib.

OMG - I was kidding. Taking pressure cookers out of the homes of millions of women would NOT stop one terrorist from using a pressure cooker...

“What’s next: crock pots? They look like pressure cookers too.”

You have it backwards. Crock Pots are the primary danger. Rice Cookers just remind people of Crock Pots. And lets not even talk about George Forman Grills.

I didn’t know placing an empty pressure cooker on the ground was a crime.

I am sitting in a bar called the Sanity Room in Independence, Ia. It is where the state mental health facility is located. I will check to see if they have a bed for him.

You are 100% correct.

When I used the words ‘sort of amazed’ I was using it in the sense of how in the world could we ‘sit here’ while 2 complete doofus idiots turned the DC area into a ‘police state’?

I went about my business because my ‘white’ Van was RED but the local gendarmes were stopping just about every White van - including box trucks, station wagons all based on ‘eye witness reports’ Of course there was a White Van in the area of the shootings...shortly before this crap ‘they’ started turning out 95% of the vehicles in the choice of White....

Just because it was a beat up piece of crap Chevy Impala with a gun mount in the trunk meant nothing.

Imagine what havoc these two could of caused had there been half a lick of sense between them THEN AGAIN, if one is too dumb to realize what they are doing they can get away with most everything.

Remember, the Fall of the Roman Empire basically happened when the Romans had to import garbage men, maids and other things the ‘Romans’ were too good to do for themselves and when it hit the Police & Military, it was all over....

Stand by for a RAM!!!!!!!!!!!

Rational folks know this. :)

But they actually did consider legislation to make pressure cookers illegal after Boston. And Walmart along with a few other big stores immediately pulled them all off the shelf, they are still gone. So you are closer to the truth than you think with this. The kneejerk reactions are completely irrational but they are real and do happen every time something like this happens.

They were rice cookers he found in the trash.

“Investigators later said they believed the individual was a homeless man from West Virginia who may have found the rice cookers in the trash and taken them with the intent to sell them. They do not believe he was intentionally trying to incite panic.”

Maybe he needs to be castrated. They tell people to neuter their pets so they don’t stray far from home. Maybe Huma should try that with her Weiner.

Crock Pots are the primary danger.

Even more so, now.

I've read where they've amp'd up the wattage on those things.

To wit, the "low" was less than 140F, as in the food safety no-no range of 40F-140F.

So now, the low is up around 185F.

Don’t tell me they DO NOT do background checks on subway users. MY GOD!!! A strong guy could KILL dozens of people there by simply pushing them on to the tracks.

Horrible that we regulate people who drive cars, but not people who enter subway stations. THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!

The first two suspicious appliances were found empty at the Fulton Street subway complex, NYPD Chief of Transit Edward Delatorre said Friday. A third empty rice cooker was found at West 16th Street and 7th Avenue, where it had been put out with the garbage.

Quick - outlaw rice cookers because they cause even more panic than the same number of guns....
