If you are in Arizona and hear the sound of hooves, you think horses, not zebras.
Ball bearings are common in Islamic terror attacks as well as some of the break away Soviet republics. Ugh...
McMunn, Bradford, Crafton Blvd...basically from the school on the blvd to the left turn past McMunn where the old trolkey tracks are now a walking trail. From there into the center of town.
Sunday night, Monday morning...no response to my calls or “wait for the official word.”
Nothing on morning news. I wrote it off as a drug bust or search for a robbery perp.
Hope to get more tonight. Mrs p6 will probably find out more through her grapevine than I will contacting my sources.
She did mention she saw several officers talking with a man in a stopped vehicle on the boulevard.
Praise God you’ve heard from him and that he’s all right and was sitting in a bar where he belonged!
I’ll throw this out. We just had a mall shooting on Friday. They suspect these events(school shootings, bombs) are tied together by people wanting to make a big headline. Perhaps a website where people plan their attacks.
ROP attacks are normally preceded by a lot of noise. We received a warning at school on 9/11 before the attacks warning of a possible attack.
Thank God your son is safe. This is great news for you.
An assessment made by individuals based on erroneous assumptions. Same crap that gave us 9/11.
That had me scratching my head. I guess he meant shot. Sheesh.
Finestein will immediately want more gun control.
Many got the wind knocked out of them according to some nurse practioners there on sight...
Bush’s fault!
Mercaptan. You would smell it long before it got to explosive levels. Unless you are like me who can hardly smell anything.
Thank God your son is safe. What a shock this is.
Fox just reported that POTUS has been advised, and offered federal assistance, e.g. to come up and make a speech, maybe get in a couple of rounds...
God Bless him and the rest of em!
Have two, and bless you/yours.
Another time, if appropriate.
Now, I need a wee glass of wine.
Good idea.
Lord have mercy!
I can’t imagine showing such gruesome images on TV.
the latest is 2 dead, 22 injured
ch 5 Boston
The first explosion happened across from the Lenox Hotel and the second blast was about 15 seconds later, witnesses said. White smoke could be seen rising from the blasts, and witnesses said the impact of the explosions could be felt blocks away. Officials have not commented on the source of the explosions, but President Barack Obama was notified about the incident. "No matter who or what is responsible, this is a terrible tragedy for our city and our nation. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been injured today," Rep. Stephen Lynch said. Several store fronts have been blown out. Many of the injured appeared to be spectators who gathered for the 117th running of the race.
12 dead... confirmed
