I am sorry they were killed, but this does not sound very professional for a state police department.
The correct procedure would be more like bring in an armored truck, have a robot load the bomb into the truck, and drive to the range for controlled detonation - wouldn’t it?
Prayers for those for fell.
Hope they get the person responsible sooner rather than later.
Maybe MSNBC and the Today show can have the bombers on and asking them fawning questions like they did to Ayers.
Did not take Ayers’ boys and girls long to go to work. This is only the first of many to come.
Now that's what I call real concentration.
look to ALF or ELF
look to ALF or ELF
Not a good move.

Horrible — sounds like friends of Bill Ayers are active in Oregon....... even if they don’t know him personally they sure like his methods.
The Weather Underground was responsible for bombing several government targets throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, and a building used by the New York City Police Department. To finance their domestic terrorism activities the group also conducted “traditional” robberies, which occasionally led to murder.
What you don’t usually hear in modern-day news coverage of the group, is that three of those murders were of police officers killed in the line of duty.
On February 16, 1970, a bomb exploded at a San Francisco, California, Police Department substation, fatally wounding Sergeant Brian McDonnell. McDonnell died of his wounds two days later. A second officer, Robert Fogarty was partially blinded by the bomb’s shrapnel. Although the case has never officially been solved, members of the Weather Underground, including Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, were prime suspects.
On October 20, 1981, several members of the Weather Underground undertook the robbery of a bank to finance their terrorist activities. During the robbery the group murdered an armored car guard and two members of the Nyack, New York, Police Department - Officer Waverly Brown and Sergeant Edward O’Grady,. a Vietnam War veteran. Unlike with Sergeant McDonnell’s murder, this case was quickly solved and several members of the group were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
Sergeant McDonnell, Officer Brown, and Sergeant O’Grady were just three of over a dozen law enforcement officers killed by radical, domestic terrorist groups during the 1970s and 1980s. Their memories may be forgotten by those who killed them and walk free - whether through lack of arrest and prosecution in McDonnell’s case or having served their sentences in Brown’s and O’Grady’s cases - but they will never be forgotten by their brothers and sisters in law enforcement.

Being that it’s Oregon where it happened it could be any manner of extremist group or a lone nutcase. Oregon seems to have more than it’s share of whackos and we have large extremist populations on both sides of the political spectrum. From leftwing anarchists, communists, Alf/Elf, to rightwing militant religious groups, and white supremicists. Oregon seems to be a melting pot for nutjobs.
Another thing not mentioned is that Woodburn with its HUGE illegal and barely legal Mexican population may mean this is a narco related hit gone bad (or good if the narcos were after cops). Woodburn being right next to I-5 is a major hub for trafficing meth from the Mexican superlabs. Lucky for me I live only 15 minutes South of there. (sarc/)
I am trying to wrap my head around WHY they would move a suspected bomb inside? Where a blast would be intensified by being indoors, not to mention increased risk of glass flying or building collapsing? Was there a K-9 unit on the scene to check the item? In the (admittedly very limited) bomb training I received, a blast indoors or in a small enclosed area was considered a worst-case scenario that would maximize casualties.
