Williams-Sonoma Pulls Pressure Cookers Off Shelves in Massachusetts
Dedham Patch ^ | April 22, 2013 | By Robert Rosen

Posted on 04/23/2013 7:27:33 AM PDT by Lazamataz

Following the Boston Marathon bombing last Monday in which pressure cookers were used for the explosion, the cookware giant has decided to temporarily stop selling the items in their Massachusetts stores.

Williams-Sonoma, the specialty retailer of home furnishings and gourmet cookware with over 250 stores in the United States, has pulled pressure cookers from their shelves following the Boston Marathon bombing.

"It's a temporary thing out of respect," said Kent, who is the Store Manager of the Williams-Sonoma at the Natick Mall. He referred Patch to corporate for further questions. Williams-Sonoma also has a local branch at Legacy Place in Dedham.

Pressure cookers will still be available on the Williams-Sonoma website.

"Now, Veterans are saying that the Pressure Cooker Bomb is a TYPICAL IED."

Oh, yeah? Is that what the REMFs are saying? Alright, then. Let's add manhole covers and meter covers to the high cost fun. Vendors, start your price-hiking engines for local government purchases on those. And no property tax hikes, either, __holes. Take it out of your salaries.

I think you may have misinterpreted my post.

I was pointing out the hypocrisy of the left, not attempting to regulate pressure cookers, manhole covers, or the like.

But perhaps I didn’t express myself clearly. I am sorry if you got the wrong impression.

And it wasn’t an “REMF” (I had to look it up...such terms are not in my vocabulary) who was quoted. It was a Vet who had been wounded by an IED in Afghanistan, and was on the scene in Boston.

Well and then there’s BB’s-—what about BB’s? Will I have to empty my Daisy Red Rider?

How is it a sign of respect to deprive Massachusetts sales tax revenue with online sales?

What a silly knee jerk reaction. And why? Hasn’t the government assured us these two brothers were acting alone?

And the media assures us that chaos news coverage doesn't produce copycat behavior (even though the media ran cutaway diagrams as to how these bombs were possibly constructed).

Apologies for lacking clarity. I was not accusing you of pushing for regulation but was complaining about others blabbing to the general public about pressure cookers.

As for REMFs, such troublemaking stories most often come from various, desk-bound, prior officer “experts,” “analysts” and the like, trying to ride some political wave or other. As for manhole and meter covers, under the hysterical circumstances, I’m fine with those being more regulated and priced-up. Like I said, socialists can take the costs out of their salaries. ;-) [All in all, though, I did hold off on exposing anything useful to goons about those covers, even though too many others have been too loose-lipped about pressure cookers.]

Apology Accepted.

I think you and I are on the same side.

And I am sure you and I both agree that the left is so hypocritical that they will use anything to get their way.

Daisy Red Rider must be an assault weapon due to its capacity over 7 BBs.
