HOLMESBURG - Philadelphia police are investigating after a pipe bomb was reportedly discovered behind a church in Holmesburg.

Philadelphia police sources tell FOX 29 an 18-inch pipe bomb was found Sunday, just after 1:30 p.m., behind St. Dominic’s Catholic Church, on the 8500 block of Frankford Avenue, in Philadelphia's Holmesburg section.

Officials say a passerby found the pipe bomb, and noted it was a PVC pipe with capped ends and black powder on it.

Police shut down Frankford Ave., between Benson and Blakiston while the Philadelphia Police Bomb Squad was called to the scene

We might be under the slowest attack in history. China? Soros? Rice? Obama?

Strange that they mention the length of the pipe bomb. Not the sort of info they typically release is it ?

This moron gets a C- for effort.

There are 20 ways to derail a train that require nothing more than 5-10 bucks spent at a home depot. With no noise and no signature.

I don’t want to be specific, but our enemies, both internal and imported (intentionally, via our open borders) know them all very well. They are trained. (I could do the “training” in 2 or 3 paragraphs here, but I won’t.)

RR tracks, pipelines, power lines, fiber optic cables: they can only exist and function as we expect them to function in a high-trust society.

As soon as you add a few 100 to 1,000 saboteurs, with 3 paragraphs of information and 10 bucks spent at Home Depot, it all begins to crash.

Metcalf was just a high-level warning shot, ignored.

(Metcalf probably cost $100. The next 10 East Palestines can be done for $5-$10 each. And our enemies, internal and imported, know all this very well.)

Even if 99% of Americans are literally asleep at the switch.

Well this is the first evidence of possible sabotage. Maybe Don JR was right after all.

A moron, so he only gets a C- for effort.

With ten minutes of instruction and ten bucks spent at home depot, he could derail the next East Palestine train.

Believe me, 1,000s of America’s enemies, both home grown and deliberately imported, have the knowledge.

The main suspects are not on your list. But you have to believe in conspiracies to get there. Think J6. Think 100 food sources burned to the ground. Think Covid.

Please writer’s! Learn how to put a sentence together and not repeat the same info 3-4 times in the the same darn paragraph! It is getting absolutely ridiculous and hard to read these articles! What are they teaching in journalism these days??

NOTE:
THERE IS NO “CATCH-AND-RELEASE” MANDATE APPLICABLE TO THIS SPECIES OF VERMIN.
PROOF OF DISPOSAL CAN BE SENT TO STATE FISH & GAME FOR STATISTICAL PURPOSES, BUT THERE IS NO BOUNTY.
CARCASSES SHOULD BE INTERRED BELOW THE LOCAL FROST LINE WITH SUFFICIENT LIME TO MITIGATE SUBSEQUENT DETECTION BY FORAGING PREDATORS.

Local journalists are better than the nationals.

The article struck me as being thin.

They probably had a junior reporter on Sunday duty bang out the story, with ChatGPT etc proofing the copy.

A story is a story. I bet we can find equally reprehensible grammar in 19th Century pamphlets.
