Is this bomb making materials?

So a friend sent this video today after he inspected a rental house following the termination of a rental agreement for non payment. These were items left behind.

Back story is I painted the exterior over the summer. The tenants were Muslims. Very weird acting people when I interacted with them. You know, that gut feeling you have for some people.

Yep. Bomb factory.

Do not touch anything. That is fragile evidence.

Stay out of there until the FBI clears it.

Some pinto beans, a plastic urine sample cup and plastic lid, 2 sheet metal screws and a washer are bomb building supplies .......

I didn’t see anything that screams bomb to me, but that is a horrible video to be able to tell anything. The ribbon cables look like they were playing with microprocessors like Arduino, on breadboards. Not really the kind of stuff that one would be using to build bombs.

The only thing that you showed that I could see well enough to cause suspicion was the black fabric thingie.

A slower, in focus video of every item that you don’t know is innocuous , and I might be able to tell you better.

Oh, and that one round black thing with the four wires sticking out of it... It isn’t a capacitor like some said. It is a voltage multiplier... I have one exactly like it within arms reach. That particular one takes 3-5 volts in and steps it up to 14,000-16,000 volts.

People use them for making home-made stun guns, electronic cigarette lighters, Doing Tesla type experiments, air ionizers etc.

The ribbon cable is usually associated with computer/electronics hobbyist type stuff. However, the lack of anything else computer oriented there is odd. There were other wires, a soldering iron, a coil, capacitor. Maybe amateur radio related - but again, nothing else that would indicate that hobby.

Therefore the electronic / electrical related pieces just don't fit, and don't fit with anything else. That means they're probably associated with something else that was removed from the house/apartment.

The vest(s) are extremely worrisome for obvious reasons.

What would be interesting would be a tour of the kitchen - see what condition pots and pans and stove are in. See if someone has been mixing up something more dangerous than spicy Mexican food. This looks serious enough I'm sure LE will take residue samples from multiple sites of interest and analyze them.

Check the walls, look for a couple of holes relatively high up, even, and spread out on a blank wall. That would be where a backdrop/flag was hung as a background for someone making a video claiming responsibility for something. Any indications of a tripod on the floor/carpet in front of it is worse...

Check the trash, look for wrappers from burner phones. Also look for containers chemicals or other products useful as IED precursor chemicals might have come in.

These are but a few things they'll be going over with an ever-finer toothed comb. I probably wouldn't have looked much further than you did though - so as not to disturb any evidence in my amateur clumsiness.

Always. Although they did hit me with an IED In July. Left the impression of the weave of my sock in my flesh for 8 weeks.

Tore the skin and it is still sore to thr touch but no lasting physical damage.

Supposed to close on Texas acreage in the next week and tha is where we are retiring.....although not soon enough.

Several bottles and other items they might be able to get prints and DNA from. I hope they can find whoever left that stuff. It’s sure as hell looks suspicious to me.

What an arrogance and rudeness . You expect everyone to be an expert on bomb making? In this environment where there have been constant threats against conservatives and threats on Trumps life, it would have been highly ignorant to NOT call that in.

"Definitely agree. Hopefully the FBI or Secret Service will look in to this."

And sit on the evidence for 10 months, until you call Rudy Giuliani.

"Have a good night."

Rest well FRiend. You and your friend did the right thing. Glad you have a connection to the S.S. to alert them. When I went to work in Corrections, they told us the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Question everything. You'd rather take the chance of being wrong about something suspicious, than ignore it, and have it end up biting you later.

Just watched the video again, slower and full screen. That black fabric vest is a weight vest used by people serious about their exercise. (Not that it couldn't be used to build a bomb vest.)

Here is one at walmart

I'd not give it a second thought unless I saw it where spooky muzzies were.

My brother was a Vietnam vet (U.S. Army), but passed at the young age of 51 back in 1995. I had two uncles who served in the U.S. Army overseas in WWII, and a great-uncle who served with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in WWI, and was killed two months before the Armistice. He's buried in a British Military Cemetery in France. I have a lot of respect for our military, and always try to thank the men and women who have put their lives on the line to protect us.

The link you provided takes me to a Facebook page for a Brandi Kruse, who is apparently a reporter in Seattle. I don't think that's you.

Well....seems sus. The FBI is the LAST I institution I would contact...given their record through the years.
