Furthermore, would you get the bomb squad out of bed at 1am to pick up a handful of firecrackers?
Seems a little under the mark in one area and a little over in another.
Speaking of going over, they had a hazmat team out in full suits to dispose of an and a chlorine container that fell off of some pool service guy's truck. Full containment equipment was used. When I was a kid the fire department would have hosed it down good, if anything had leaked. Perhaps they just used it as training, but quarantining the area was a bit much.
Have to legitimize or justify having Hazmat and bomb squad.
If they cannot be called- why have in the first place.
Although since they do not name size or type of firework, one wonders was it something else.
What are m-1000s? I remember m-80 was big enough to blow your hand off or kill.
If the found them in his pockets, he was wearing very baggy pants.
I suspect there is some exaggeration of what they really found.
I had my first In-N-Out Burger in Rohnert Park.
80 mph?!
Oh, the humanity!
“80 mph?!
Oh, the humanity!”
Guess it depends on the street. Traffic averages 80 on my commute.
“possessing dangerous explosives”???
IDIOTS!
M-1000s go for about 5 cents apiece, so let’s get off of the “dangerous explosives” nonsense shall we?
Same here. And the road in the article is called.an expressway. It wasn’t Oak lane.
Oh my God! Firecrackers? Someone quick, call the bomb squad, these must be terrorists.
They are crap compared to a real M-80. They’re nothing but regular firecrackers in an M-80 package.
They haven’t made 350Zs since 2008. You can get a used one in the low teens ($13000) with “low” mileage, under $10k a little more used. Not terribly out of reach for a kid with a job. I knew a military kid who had a G37.
If you want to make a felony case out of the firecrackers I guess you do have to wake up the bomb squad. Someone’s racking up promotion points.
Angling for his own TV drama.
Yeah, really.

Hmm...doesn’t exactly look like you could blow up a school with one of those. Well, a Lego school maybe.
