Everyone needs a hobby. Some build ships in bottles; some build bombs in pipes. No difference, really. Of course the guys who build ships in bottles to go shows and conventions to learn about, demonstrate or display their hobby. Guys who build pipe bombs go to office parties, schools, recruiting offices, etc. to demonstrate their hobby. You know...normal stuff.

I could easily have seen me and my buddies drinkin beer and blowin stuff up in the backyard. We lived rurally but there certainly would have been no bad intentions. Just the fun of being able to say to each other “yea, it blowed up real good”.

I used to have one of those! I loved it! But after a few uses they would always break.

I lived in Nebraska when we used to do these things. Nothing better to do in Nebraska.

Because making bombs in your back yard is sooo much more stimulating than woodwork or stamp collecting.

The face of that guy does make me think he's the sort of person who might pick up serial killing as a hobby.

>> much more stimulating

Islam facilitates depraved stimulation. Christianity condemns it. Atheists claim there’s no difference between the two.

They’ll charge him accordingly, depending on how much information Marquez and his lawyer decide to cough up. But he’s pretty much done either way.

A lot of things that have come out about Marquez make him seem like he might just be a terminally naive pushover. He accepted money for engaging in a sham marriage and then was surprised that his “wife” wouldn’t even kiss him. His friend talks him into converting to Islam and buying some guns. But Marquez doesn’t seem to take Islam seriously enough to go to the mosque and to stop being the friendly drinking companion of his other friends.

I made rockets when I was a kid. Most of them exploded, so they weren’t much different from bombs.

So, yes, these people just had an unusual hobby. Nothing to worry about.

Mixed my own primer compound, spilled some on the garage floor.

Momma blew the heel off her shoe.

I thought I was gonna die that day.

It was good stuff, look at it cross eyed, it would pop.
