A few observations from a former bomb disposal officer (i.e. Me):
1. Proper pipe bombs don't have wires connected to both ends. That's dumb.
2. You can find timers / remote control receivers WAY smaller than whatever that white box is. A proper timer would best be stored inside the pipe, making it fully encapsulated. That thing is just silly looking.
3. "Hoax Devices" are FAR more common than real ones. In which case, we should ask ourselves what the motives of the "bomber" are and "who benefits?" Go ahead. Think deeply and critically.
4. Bottom Line: Whoever made that wanted it to be painfully obvious to anyone and everyone that it's a "bomb."
This is nearly the same as a bundle of road flares wrapped together with an old-timey alarm clock ticking away.
Iran sounds good as any to me. Whoever it is, it was ridiculously easy to pull off.
Hey, they had to remove any fingerprints - just in case.
“Do you know what kind of a bomb it was?”
If it was a right winger, they would know how to make bombs that work. Anyone who played with model rockets knows how to set off things that make fire with a little electricity.
This looks like a bad photo of what a loser thinks a bomb looks like.
My bets on Iran......You lose. It’s Democrats.
One caveat is that those are usually sent bulk and have preprinted IM barcodes at the bottom. Those could be run through a cancelling machine but they often don't bother. They can also be run through sorters that also can cancel. These bulky packages would have to be hand canceled and that is very unlikely.
Yes, obliviously. If you don’t wipe the bits out of the clock first then they leak through the wires to the explosive. Certainly not c4, I suspects a Q-36 explosive space modulator.
“Do you know what kind of a bomb it was?
“The exploding kind.”
I also notice that the state on the address is abbreviated. Only someone in their 50's or older uses periods on state abbreviations.
Classic old-time liberal who thinks he's fooling people.
“A Bum?”
The only thing missing on these false flag bombs is the ACME label and a picture of the Roadrunner standing in front of the CPUSA Progressive democrat label.
I don’t believe the SS anymore than I do CNN at this point
... always cut the red wire, right? Or is it never? ... alas
Cant wait for the truth!!!
Even if they catch the guy in the next week or so and it turns out to be a registered Democrat, the media will blame Trump for creating the environment for violence.
Does anybody know if there was explosive materials in these devices? Or were they so fake, they just "look" like the real thing?
Is sending a fake bomb illegal? If the bomb is not real, is it still a crime? Or is it a sick, practical joke.
My gut tells me these are all false flag acts, intended to make it look like some Republican is trying to bomb some democRATS.
I hope the investigation quickly identifies to perpetrator(s).
This is not something conservatives usually do. The MSM will be all over this, calling it violence on the Right against the poor, frail democRATS.
I agree. This is just part of their permanent campaign.
It appears many of us are emulating Buckhead today. And just as accurately.
Those are first class stamps on the package in the photo. The post office always cancels those.
