[PghBaldy]

Large amounts of chemicals commonly used to make bombs were found in the basement of a New Jersey doctor, along with assault rifles and a stun gun, prosecutors said today.

Dr. Roberto Rivera, 60, who was said to have been an active member in the Occupy Wall Street movement last year, was arrested following a Friday night raid on his Ridgewood, N.J., home

[PghBaldy]

I heard about this on the radio just now, but funny they forgot to mention the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) connection /sarc

[Paladin2]

So, which popo’s arrested him?

[Paladin2]

"Ridgewood police first showed up at the home around 6:15 p.m. after getting a report of potential hazardous and explosive material, according to a press release from Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli. "

"Armed with a search warrant, the FBI and the Bergen County Bomb Squad then visited Rivera's home where they confiscated the bomb-making chemical and also found "several other precursor chemicals commonly used in the making of explosive devices," Molinelli said. "

It's a big deal.

[PghBaldy]

Ridgewood police were first, then FBI & the Bergen County Bomb Squad, per the article.

[Mamzelle]

Roberto is Geraldo Revira's brother!!

//sarc!!

[Paladin2]

"Bill Dobbs, a member of the Occupy Wall Street press team, said he had no knowledge of any connection between Rivera and the movement, and said Occupy is firmly committed to non-violence Free Stuff^TM. "

The tip of the occupy movement?

[GeronL]

He was prepared to join the People’s Revolutionary Army! All he had to do was vote, though

“Large amounts of chemicals commonly used to make bombs”
“It’s a big deal.”

No it’s not.

HUNDREDS OF HOUSEHOLD AND POOL CHEMICAL CAN MAKE THINGS THAT GO BANG...

[Last Dakotan]

I have fertilizer, diesel fuel, and excess ammo in my garage.

Traded the diesel VW for a .270. Still have the lawn.

[Paladin2]

I keep a fair amount of Diesel and a small amount of fertilizer on hand.

I'm not a OWSer though.

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the.........HA ha!!!

[nvscanman]

Virtually every home in America has “chemicals” that can
be made to go “BOOM”. Nothing but Bullsh*t.

[TruthWillWin]

They obviously did not know the OWS connection. Ïf they druid the story would have been buried.

[rfp1234]

Must have been saving them to blow up NYSE if Mitt got elected.

"Armed with a search warrant, the FBI and the Bergen County Bomb Squad then visited Rivera's home where they confiscated the bomb-making chemical and also found "several other precursor chemicals commonly used in the making of explosive devices," Molinelli said. "

It's a big deal.

Then you wouldn't mind surrendering any of the precursor chemicals/items in your house such as:

ground coffee, matches, speaker wires, cell phones, alarm clocks, kitchen timers, dried beans, dried rice, eggs, Vaseline, motor oil, urine (making urea nitrate), gasoline, nail polish remover/paint thinner (acetone), car batteries, bleach, Miracle Grow, bar soap, aspirin tablets, rust (great for incendiaries), aluminum foil/cans, string, cigarettes, clothespins, wine bottles, alcohol, peroxide, dried tea leaves, sugar, cocoa, Epsom salts, table salt, crayons, vinegar etc.....

If you are a prepper or extreme couponer....you could be made to look like a pretty dangerous nutcase. Especially if you happen to have evil "assault" rifles and a few cases of ammunition on hand.

Someone told the cops he had explosive material. Okay, so they got the explosive material. They also talked about his weapons but weapons and a stun gun aren’t illegal so why even mention them.

However, this is New Jersey. Can a person have guns and a stun gun in New Jersey? I would leave that state for sure if I couldn’t have guns.

[Paladin2]

No, I’m happy to see that OWS’ers are being targeted rather than Tea Partiers, for a change.

[Paladin2]

Never 'splain life to your neighbors.

Who knows where they stand wrt Big Sis.
