Explosive devices that don't explode?

[snorko]

Is it armed robbery if the perp doesnt have arms?

Man, Kut's got me stumped.

 

[HoughMade]

No we're not....Well maybe a little....

Hey, is it plausible that a leftist is doing this to try to make the Right look horrible? Sure, it's plausible, but so are about 3 dozen other theories.

Until there is actual evidence, we only hurt our credibility by knee-jerk going with "the other guy did it to make us look bad".

Look, this is not a matter of convincing the most people who did it and why and thereby producing truth.

Someone did it for a reason. Hopefully, we will find out who and why. I am not encouraged by the anthrax scare after 9/11 as that one was never really solved in a way that was airtight.

BUT THEY STARTED IT!!!!!!!!

I think sending a "fake" bomb is like committing a crime with a gun with no bullets.
The threat of violence is still there.

Whoever and whatever this is, I can't remember the last time there was a pipe bomb incident where they didn't identify almost immediately the explosive used. Almost always BP or ANFO.

"Fireworks" powder is what Fox reported (sorta, it was Twitter). But yeah, not official yet.

I think we'll know who did it in 48 hours....There's a crap load of forensic evidence in explosives that don't explode....

I think you are probably right.

Assuming they want to find them... Is part of the Strzok wing of the FBI investigating this?

That's something I'd love to see... Especially how it'd play out in court.


None the less, the longer this goes without someone in prison, the more skeptical I get. They used a printer to make the labels and printers imbed unique microcode. Even if they did it at a xerox facility, there's cameras and they would be found. If things were done properly, it couldn't take more than a day to find them. That's assuming they don't even bother to look for prints.

Word is same group that was in charge of the las vegas attack investigation. So we should know something definite never.

I heard they had their Top Man on that one.

They found plenty about the case, it just started to not suit the media narrative so it wasn't reported on.

You can go look it up online pretty easily.

These "bombs" sound like fake hate crimes

Screw evidence. If we know what side we're on, that's all we need to know.

No, that's not all we need.



Don't forget to yell your [STRIKE]opinions[/STRIKE] convictions loudly and repeatedly. Remember whoever shouts louder and longer is obviously correct.

 

[Denny347]

When people call in bomb threats to places, in instances where a bomb doesn't exist, or send inert white powder to people with the assumption that the recipient will think it's anthrax, is it safe to assume that the people committing these acts are sympathetic to the person, or institution, those packages are being sent to? I'm just trying to find out if when we should be skeptical, unless it simply defaults to when the victim is a liberal.

Didn't you know? If the Liberals are threatened, it's other Liberals. If Conservatives are threatened, it's Liberals . Sometimes mental illness knows no politics.

As much as I would love to see some traitors swinging on the National Mall, none of these folks have been convicted of that, and so don't deserve to be harmed, or even threatened.

I'll withhold judgement until law enforcement identifies who is responsible for this and takes them out of the bomb making/mailing business. I know how I would feel if I received one of these (real or not), or worse yet, one of my loved ones handled one just by getting the mail. Also keep in mind how many innocent people handled, or were in close proximity to, these devices during their travels. The last I heard was that they had the potential to detonate, but maybe that has changed?

My first thought would be that this is someone on the right fed up with the BS on the left. I mean it was a Bernie Bro that shot up the Republican baseball practice, so why not a looney Trumper broken over the lefts stupidity? I'm sure they are out there on both sides.

Do what you want, but I think this one is at least a toss up, and so will wait for more information before bashing one side or the other. Whomever and whatever this is, it isn't the way political discourse and decision making should go in a free Republic, if that's what we are anymore.

Those bombs weren't meant to explode, but they were meant to be detected. Almost every box on the suspicious package checklist was marked OH HELL YES!! Almost like the individual or individuals was/were looking at the suspicious package checklist (USAF, USPS, DoD, take your pick.) Put another way if this was on purpose, this bad guy has some serious capability. Hopefully they catch the bad guy soon, and hopefully I'm overestimating the capability of this bad guy.
