On the news last night they said she took it inside but didn’t open it. the next day she took it outside to open it. She must have suspected something was not right but then why did she open it? Strange.
Greenpink again
ELF?
Domestic terrorism? Hate crime?
This is what Napolitano and DHS has been warning us about, I bet they get right on this.
Only took 20 years to catch Unibomber, after all, and he targeted enemies of Progressives too.
Obama Youth just doing dear leaders bidding.
This is what happens when an out of control dictator named B Hussein Obama villifies oil company executives.
I was hoping this story was about BoxER...as in Barbara.
In a situation like this, I wouldn’t start by bothering the police, or anyone else for that matter, unless they are in close proximity to the package, like the next door neighbor, and could be harmed if it is a bomb.
The reason for this is simple: the police are not EOD. And, you really have no idea what they will do. They may (foolishly) pick up the package and shake it; or they may call real EOD who will just blow it up in place—which does wonders for Hummel figurines, btw. Or they might evacuate the entire block, inconveniencing all of your neighbors, and leading many of them to suspect that *you* are a terrorist. Or at least a pain in the rear end.
However, as long as you are a safe distance from the package, time is on your side. As long as those you care about are also at a safe distance.
So the very first thing you should do is to look to see if anyone is loitering in the area, and watching you. If they are, *then*, most definitely, call the police. This is a good indicator that the package may very well have a radio or cell phone detonator, which were all the rage in Iraq, so it is likely a lot of villains know how to make them.
But if all is otherwise quiet, then get a pair of binoculars, which while still at a safe distance, can be used to read any labels or other information on the outside of the package. A good idea in any event, as you can look for any oily or greasy stains on the package, which is a bad sign that something is amiss.
Finally, make yourself a string lasso. Just a tied loop of string, with a long extension. Long enough to go around a block or brick corner. And you can even put masking tape loops around the string loop, to help it grab on to the package when pulled.
Be sure to wear safety glasses. Then, with the loop deployed around the package, and you around the corner, pull slowly on the string until the lasso catches the package, and slowly tugs it away from your door. If it survives, then give the lasso a jerk, which should set off most unstable bombs.
If that doesn’t do anything, you can drag it down a flight of stairs, or just drag it along a bumpy sidewalk for a while. This kind of abuse would set off all but the most sophisticated amateur bombs.
At that point, you can probably yell out: “Honey, your Hummel figurines have arrived!”
What makes this all the funnier, is that in the vast majority of cases, such unmarked packages with ill intent only have feces or roadkill in them.
This is despicable. When you read things like “facial injuries are not life threatening” that still could mean the lady will be horrifically disfigured or even blinded; she might lose her sense of smell or taste or even hearing depending on the injuries. Similarly, when we read of suicide bombings, etc., we will often read about the “deaths” but you never hear of the horrible injuries where people are paralyzed or crippled in hideous ways.
I hope they find the person who did this.
You might want to ask the mod if you can put the fact that this home was owned by an oil company exec in () in the headline. The word of this needs to go viral if the news and papers are going to try and obscure this fact. I almost didn’t read click on the thread thinking it was a domestic dispute of some kind. Thanks for posting this important info.
Once upon a time, my daughter’s friend ran over a racoon...she called us on her cell and was all upset. We told her to drive on over the racoon, car goes thump and proceed to your destination. She was literally in tears about hitting this animal. So as a joke, I found an adorable stuffed baby racoon, put it in a shoe box, punched holes in the top.....took this to her house and placed in on the front porch steps. I put a rock on top, as if whatever was inside could get out and left a note. She called me up shrieking.......never put my name on the note, but she knew.
That joke would not play well today.
BTW, she had quite a collection of stuffed racoons when we were all done with this, she took them off to her college dorm room when she went away to school. She just moved into her first home she purchased herself.......the housewarming party was last night...I searched far and wide for a garden statue of a racoon...I am still looking. If anyone knows where I could find one let me know. LOL
Thought you might want this one for your ping list. The house belonged to an oil company executive.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether the house was targeted, however, Eyewitness News found out the home is owned by an oil company executive.<<<<
Ping.
