SNIPPET - quote: Standoff in NH city after bus bomb threat By KATHY McCORMACK (AP) – 45 minutes ago
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Authorities remained in a standoff with a man on a Maine-to-New York Greyhound bus Thursday, hours after a passenger called 911 to report an explosive device on board. The other 16 passengers and the driver safely got off the bus, which was parked in downtown Portsmouth, surrounded by a bomb squad and sharpshooters, including one in an armored vehicle.

Knew what was coming? That they’d claim it wasn’t terrorism? I just wish they’d provided a little more info as to why not. Instead, they allow speculation to run wild. This happens with most of these instances.
Yep...it’s never terrorism at first, even when it’s terrorism...But I will be interested in what the story behind this is...
Sounded like a standard PC whitewash...
Looks like white tennis shoes.
I do recall several times in the past them claiming incidents like this not being terrorist-related when they later turned out to be. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.
As opposed to boots? In any case, it certainly doesn't appear that he is with the US military as at least one person here suggested he might be. In fact, he may be a foreign national.
"No details about the passenger were immediately released, and the bus remained parked in downtown Portsmouth with a bomb squad on the scene. The man could be a foreign national, as agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement were on the scene and there were reports an interpreter was needed to speak to him."

Thank you for the photo and the update ETL.
You’re welcome. Thanks for posting the thread.
Damn! Those crazy Amish are getting further afield!
But then, we tend to look as crazy as the DUmmies who want every “act” to be a conservative white guy. We seem to suspect every incident is a Moslem of some sort.
Remember the black guy who shot up the NY commuter train of 15-20 years ago? That wasn’t “terrorism” so much as just a jackass murderous thug.
While I am very wary of Moslems, and of life-threatening events, I really don’t want to water down the meaning of “terrorism”, either. Seems to me it’s been used too much since 9/11 for every person who killed more than 1 person at a time. Even in ‘95, no one called McVeigh a “terrorist” - just a sick, disgusting mass-murderer.
“Those Pennsylvania Deutsch sure have gotten radicalized in the last few years! What’s up with that?!?!?!?”
Actually, come to think of it, they really DON’T like our way of life.
Not me. Although many terror attacks are committed by radical Islamists, left-wing screw balls have been responsible for quite a few as well.
Infamous left-wing terrorists, murderers, serial killers and political assassins

“Portsmouth Chief: Bus Standoff Not ‘Terrorist-Related Event’
Man’s Surrender Brings End To 9-Hour Standoff”

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. —
SNIPPET: “Portsmouth Police Chief David Ferland said investigators would not have specific information to release on the man or the incident until noon Friday. But he said there was no reason to believe the incident was connected to terrorism.
“We do not believe this to be a terrorist-related event,” he said. “We are considering this to be a localized event only.””
Portland Police Chief James Craig said publicly last month that one of his primary goals for 2010 is to dismantle two established gangs in Maine’s biggest city - one made up primarily of young Somali men and the other composed of young Asians.

Thank you DoorGunner.
That’s interesting.
The problem is, many end up being muslim terrorism...or an insane leftist. Just look at the last 8 or so events and they're all leftists and muslims.
The proper term is “sheethead”. =)
