No arrests have been made, no suspects identified. But police investigators said that a blue bicycle recovered at Madison Avenue and 38th Street on Thursday morning was probably the one used by the bomber. A $12,000 reward has been offered for any information that leads to a conviction in the bombing.

The station reopened shortly after 5 p.m. on Thursday. On any given day, said Sergeant Latella — a 12-year veteran from Irwin, Pa. — the number of people who walk in depends on the weather. He said it could be about two dozen on a good day.

$12,000? Why not a million?

[Bernard]

What would the reward be for somebody who bombed an abortion clinic? Or Hillary Clinton’s campaign office?

[Buddy B]

Who offered the reward...shall we know?

[glorgau]

Hell, I’d turn ‘em in for $5. Or a cup of coffee.

[jdm]

Many times $12K, that’s for sure.

[fantom]

Or ,the cup coffee comes in.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I the frontier west wanted poster we often:

WANTED

DEAD OR ALIVE

and some had annotations such as:

Reward: $10,000 Dead, $2,000 Alive

[rockrr]

That is strange. They're offering $100k for the guys who torched the "Street of Dreams" homes here in Washington: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004256995_webreward03m.html

There is not much of a reward for low level Dem rats.

[SandRat]

I hope the Recruiter is openly packing heat on federal carry permit too.

Only $12,000??? For a terrorist act? A bomb went off!
Damage happened. People could have been killed.

Another insult to our troops.

[kewlhandluke2]

Gee domestic terrorist sure don’t make much news or seem to be worth much of a reward.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

“Of the six recruiting stations in Manhattan, the Times Square station — just below where the ball drops on New Year’s Eve — is the most successful, averaging 20 or more recruits a year for the Army alone”

Gee, New York is a real hotbed for the military (/sarc) (not a knock against the military)

[neverdem]

thanks, bfl

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Or turn him in and give a cup of coffee to the officer who takes custody.

Anything to get the moonbat piece of sh*t out of circulation.

Absolutely 'Another insult to our troops'

Obviously the Feds don't seem to think these anti-military activies are terrorism. Homeland Security is just a fancy name for "I'm from the government. I'm here to help you." Yeah, riiight!

[o_zarkman44]

Homeland Security is all about limiting the civil liberty of American citizens in the name of government knows best.

A failed war on drugs,, lax to non-existant border and immigration control and the reduced capacity of Americans to fight and stand up for sovergnity has been replaced by an open collusion with UN and Marxist activity and philosophy.

A $12,000 reward is a sham. To most people with knowledge of that kind of significant crime, it almost provided justification that their objectives are not met with zeal and concern by law enforcement.

We are going to have to force the issue to the forefront.

That's a very good point. Law enforcement regarding the activies of domestic terrorists is practically non-existant, and then not taken seriously enough when it's obvious that punitive action is warranted.

Yes, a $12K reward is a sham! Maybe the small amount is part of a strategy? What that strategy would be, I have no ideas.
