There are quite a few common chemicals that can be made to go “boom”, or act as oxidizers and accelerants. Dynamite and TNT are quite stable. Some of the homemade stuff emits vapors that penetrate flesh and bone during the manufacture process. Nasty stuff. And very, very thermal dynamic. Too hot or too humid; and a whole bunch of living things die.

On the Stanton Heights thread I posted my ‘take’ on the friends. I think they just wanted face time on TV. Honest. They are both really odd; their proclamations were just weird. Something isn’t right with those two.

In one of the news stories, one friend was identified as black and having debated the shooter over the election numerous times.

I agree with you that something is amiss, especially how those were the first and only people to come forward and talk about the shooter.

I could envision radical DUmmies trying to manipulate the coverage on this.

Did these chemicals include vinegar & baking-soda? Draino, perhaps?

No... Obama’s just making the rest of the country as safe as Chicago.

And a suicide Dad killed his five kids first in Orting, Washington (outside of Seattle) - crossing the wires now.

So much for HOPE.

Wasn’t it Art Bell or somesuch that wrote “The Quickening”. Something about the spiral downwards would go real fast once it started? I knew what happened on Nov. 4th, 2008 was terrible and a disaster. Just didn’t think it would happen so quickly.

Obama must share responsibility for this atrocity. His goal of banning guns helped drive this madman to do it!

“Most of the other chemical compounds require protective gear and respirators to manufacture.”

What in he world are you talking about? Explosives can be made out of chemicals that are in most (or at least many) homes and garages. No special gear required...

I had to look IED, Improvised Expolosive Device, up on the Acronym website. Did I miss it in the text somewhere? First time I’ve ever seen it anywhere. What is it with our modern world that we can’t spell things out. Are we saving pixles or what?

As long as one does not mind exposure to ammoniates, peroxides, acetone, and hydro-chlorides. Ever wonder why drain crystals are now drain liquids? How come phosphates are not in detergents anymore? How come pool shock got reformulated?

Never mix chlorine bleach with ammonia when cleaning your commode. It is lethal. Besides, now we have scrubbing bubbles :0)

I haven’t read it. But I will tell you that I do not like the feeling I’m getting from my government.

reported today that a 73 year old man in Jerome, Pennsylvania, killed his 72 years old wife of TWO weeks...

This is Somerset County, where 9/11 and flight #93 occurred, it does sound like we are turning into Detroit, may Chicago...

sad day today and every day that the B.Hussein Obama administration is in power.

I’m a traditionalist when it comes to English Language Communication (ELC). One of the things that I find objectionable is the use of an acronym when its definition is not included with it. If text messaging and the Internet in general renders traditional ELC obsolete, I’ll resist to the end. If I must be defined a dinosaur, so be it. I’ll then be nothing else.

Let our technology adapt to our language. If that makes the job of the technologists more difficult, then it’s more difficult. Don’t allow that specific laziness to determine the nature of ELC. Communication is rather important.

Don’t short change it.

The Monolithic Media will probably say that he was “afraid Obama would take away his guns”, thus establishing that ONLY crazies fear gun bans! LOL.

ROP?

Yeah, look at that name! (Raymond Zareck)

From what I see, Zarecks came into the US in 1869...those durn sleeper cells!
