Come on, man. It is just a homemade firecracker. That’s what the local paper said it was. Just some yutes fooling around.
Pearl Harbor:
Ambitious aquatic experiment.
Agreed...it’s insane they won’t acknowledge this. The order comes directly from the White House.
What IED? /sarc
Those are only found in Iraq or Afghanistan, and those reports were dwindling down too.
Aren’t IED manufactured in a mosque? Islamic Explosive Device.
Hiroshima = Physics Experiment gone awry.
WW2 multinational training excercise using live ammo.
White Hispanic, Bomb Hobbiest, these are some of the new things you learn listening to the news.
Did it look like a clock?
True words
"No Scotsman would ever drink Irish Whiskey!"
"I'm a Scotsman and I drink Irish Whiskey."
"No true Scotsman would ever drink Irish Whiskey!"
Terrorism? That always involves bombs, and it always takes place overseas. We have workplace violence and such, but we have no terrorism.
IED? Those are things that are buried in roads in Afghanistan. We don't have IEDs in America. Certainly not in parks. Nope. Not here. No way.
We try to ignore Reality by defining things into impossibility.
You would see an unusually high demand for nitric acid if someone were making explosive material from scratch.
In all fairness, “IED” is a military expression, not a police one. The term comes from the British Army in the 1970s, who coined it while fighting the Provisional IRA.
It is important to call domestic bombs something *other* than IEDs, for the simple reason that the expression is being used to justify military involvement in domestic policing.
(2012) “Warning about the “growing threat” of IEDs across the United States, several congressmen and the Pentagon are pushing for Congress to relax the Posse Comitatus Act, which substantially limit the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement unless under precise and extreme circumstances.
“House Committee on Homeland Security leaders Reps. Peter King, R-N.Y., Daniel Lungren, R-Calif., and Michael McCaul, R-Austin are leading an effort to amend the Posse Comitatus Act in order to allow the Pentagon to coordinate with local law enforcement bodies.”
Okay, the young man stepped on an OME. The OME took his foot off. I am wondering if there are other OME in the park? An OME repeated often enough becomes an IED.
Good. IED is a sanitized phrase. They should actually use the word “explosive” straight through no initials every time. Stop using soft language, keep the active words.
This Park Place Violence was just an isolated incident.
Move along.
If this thing was in some rocks as reported that means it was aimed at kids.
Our government is so insanely corrupt.
I’m wondering if they are home made at all.
The statements about small size, makes me think the explosive was a detonator. Some use HE and are capable of this kind of damage.
