...for 'balding white man in his 40s'

Federal investigators are on the ground at the scene where an 'improvised explosive device' detonated Tuesday next to the Colorado Springs chapter of the NAACP. The blast happened about 10:45am outside a barber shop next door to the group's building, which is about an hour south of Denver. Eyewitnesses said they heard a 'loud boom' as the improvised device, which was placed next to a can of gasoline, went off. The contents of the can didn't ignite, federal officials said.

I was cutting somebody's hair and I heard the explosion,' Gene Southerland, who owns the Mr. G's Hair Design Studio in the same building, told the Denver Post. 'It was such a loud explosion that some plastic containers fell off the shelf.' Police say no injuries were reported. FBI spokeswoman Amy Sanders says it's not known yet whether the explosion was an accident or not or whether it was aimed at the nation's oldest civil rights organization. The extent of the damage from the explosion wasn't immediately clear Photos of the scene don't show any visible damage to the barber shop building. inside the NAACP office, volunteers say the explosion was enough to knock things off walls, the Gazette reported. .

Even though the authorities are looking for a White guy, the skeptic in me is thinking inside job, given Tawana Brawley, the Duke lacrosse fiasco, etc. Besides according to police this person of interest is balding and there is a hair salon next door, maybe the NAACP office wasn't the target? #bad haircuts suck?

'balding white man in his 40s'

Doesn't that constitute both racial and age-related profiling?

Was there also a noose hanging from a tree nearby and “Tea Party” literature strewn about the area?

Balding 40-year old white male in a pickup truck.

A perfect description of the terrorists Obola is so hoping to have pop up.

I hope they were able to get fingerprints, maybe from the side not facing the explosion?

I bet that the NAACP planted it themselves. They used one of their self hating Whites as a stooge to plant it.

Saying naacp gets headlines but it is not clear the who what or why in this at all.

You can be sure the FBI, the irs, the secret service and the justice department will investigate this - How do I know? because the suspect is WHITE!!!

They will find the nearest bald White guy and put him on the gallows.

What?

Well then. Send in squads of FBI and DHS troopers. Round up all the whities you find. Send them off to FEMA Camps.

Clearly America is being held hostage by White Supremacists.

Better bring in the MRAP’s and the National Guard (with real bullets) to take down the white people as they sit at Starbucks and connive on more plans to kill the blacks.

This is an Extreme Emergency! Why, even Obama was pulled off the golf course and he in in flight to the scene as we speak.

Damn us mean white people.

Does Jason Alexander have an alibi? Where was he?
Was Michael Richards with him? We all know what Richards thinks about people of color.
