No one made any bomb threats and no one made any fake bombs.
Nail them for putting up signs without a permit but blaming them for the incompetence of the police department isn't their fault.
This has already been debated to extremes so I'm not going to continue it now. I don't have time.
What does the videotape have to do with anything?
People videotape all kinds of things.
Did you see the videotape? If anything it shows just how non threatening this "event" was.
I disagree. Screw them both. Jail.
What is it that people do not understand? Unknown black boxes wired underneath bridges or overpasses is non-threatening? In this post 9/11 world? Not like the people who perpetrated 9/11 would ever stoop so low as to put explosives inside a toy, that would be too uncivilized.
Greetings DB:
Rumor has it these mopes were involved with two "report of a suspicious device" 911 calls. Harmless prank?
Cheers,

Rumor is not fact.
If that were the fact fine, charge them with false 911 call.
What you don't understand is that these things were no where near large enough to take down a bridge. It wasn't difficult to see what they were, especially for a "trained professional" that should have known better.
If terrorist want to take down the bridge they'll fill a tractor trailer with explosives and drive it across the bridge without all the hype.
For those who haven't seen it, here's the "bombs" being placed:

Boston moronic panic response is the problem . This was an advertising gimmick and the city is getting 2 million. Looks like the city profited by the stupidity. Now will they rebate that to the drivers who were so inconvenience by the city's stupidity. Of course not.
The city was at fault for their over reaction. NONE of the other cities acted so stupidly. They probably wish they had now that Boston has profited
Too bad for them they weren't just child sex offenders. They'd have gotten nothing more than community service in Massachusetts.
Got a lot of experience dealing with bombs do you. (Snort) You'd pee your pants if you walked up on one half that size.
You would think that after finding the first one the cops would have figured out what the rest were without having to shut down the city. Then again, these are the people who keep blessing the nation with Kennedys.
Nobody seems to be saying what the people who put the signs up should be charged with.
Like... (hffftt)... the pot today...(hffftt)... is so much more potent... (hffftt)... than the crap my old man smoked.
I CAN RECOGNIZE A LITE BRIGHT, CAN YOU? NO OTHER CITY PANIC, SO WHY IS BOSTON THE BRIGHT CITY?
Hm. Okay, I suppose you are saying that a chunk of C4 about the size of that little box would not be able to bring down a bridge? You might know more about explosives than I do, and will concede that to you.
Is it possible that a chunk of C4 that big might kill someone who was driving over or under the bridge?
We all saw what happened when a ceiling tile fell on a motorist and killed them in Boston. Is there any reason to expect the cry of "...knew but did nothing..." would issue forth from the usual places if someone was killed?
