Police: Man Dies After Attempting To Break Into North Philadelphia ATM With Explosives, Approximately 30 ATMs Damaged Overnight
CBS 3 Philly ^ | 2 June 2020 | CBS Staff

HAPPENING NOW: Police are responding to what appears to be an ATM explosion, in Brewerytown. I heard a loud bang, and the flames shortly followed

Police say a 24-year-old man tried using an explosive device to blow up the ATM by Sidekicks Sports Bar, but when the device went off, he was thrown to the ground with serious injuries. He was rushed to a nearby hospital and died.

Police say the explosive device never penetrated the ATM’s safe. Live explosives were recovered at the scene.

Councilman Kenyatta Johnson surveyed the damage left behind after two ATMs were dismantled.

A sitcom that deserved at least one more season.

Hmmm, appears those injuries were much more than 'serious.'

These communist revolutionaries and protestors for racial justice sure do seem to like money and luxury goods. ‘Viva la revolucion!’ as they stuff their pockets with stolen cash.

Yes.
Goofy but fun, like the opening with the shattered lens.

If you use a shaped charge, remember to have it point the right way.

That, and a simple formula for the standoff distance...

So, you actually *can* fix stupid.

Depends on your definition of ‘fix’?

If I’m fixing a fuel line, it should stop leaking.

If I’m fixing that coon that knocks my trashcan over, it should stop breathing.

It depends on the route and duration of the trip to the hospital.
Some hospitals are wu-flu only; recalculating, recalculating...
Might some time.

Also when a relative had wu-flu pneumonia, it took HOURS for a wu-flu ambulance. No need to contaminate another one. A quick shot of the anti-malarial drug some oxygen... and he was on the mend.

I can laugh now.

Long ago and far away, I was low crawling up a small run-off ditch. Looked up a bit to see a giant, huge, ugly...
Chicom claymore!

Suffice to say, it was unmanned.

He blowed up real good.

Put up a giant Darwin Award trophy at that ATM.

If black lives matter they certainly don’t act like it.

It makes perfect sense. Doesn’t everyone feel that every time something doesn’t please them in this society they want to go blow-up some ATMs and steal the money. Isn’t that an ultimate protest or what? The nitwit definitely is a DIMocRAT voter...definitely.

Tragic workplace accident.

Where is OSHA???

And of course a large settlement, for his lawyers; not so much for the dead guy.
Nothing for the owner.
