Muslim shooter Faisal Mohammad from Santa Clara, Calif....stabbing of four people at UC Merced.....a bomb squad recovered Mohammad's backpack, which contained hand-cuffs, night vision scope and duct tape. Mohammad also had petroleum jelly, which Warnke described as s a "poor man's C-4," a military-grade explosive.

He says there was a handwritten list of items to put in the backpack, and officials recovered them all except for scissors. Police shot and killed Mohammed.

“Mohammad also had petroleum jelly, which Warnke described as s a “poor man’s C-4,” a military-grade explosive.”

Reporters, “journalists” and editors clearly know nothing and can’t do research.

Finely powdered potassium chlorate mixed with petroleum jelly can be used as an explosive filler and can be cap-detonated under the correct conditions. THAT mixture is a poor man’s C4.

Imagine the carnage if regular petroleum jelly could detonate!

If Mohammad had duct tape and Vaseline he may not have been thinking “explosive”.
