Occupy Maine shaken by bomb blast

There you go making sense again Stu.

Toss an M80 into a crowd and it could be dangerous. Launch off a bunch of bottle rockets and it could be dangerous.
Prank or not the perps need to be found and punished.

 

What if it was a teenage prank but the teenagers were MUSLIM'S?

Something stupid to think about.

 

And that would qualify it as dangerous in a crowded place. And that should be punished. Which I said. Both of those things.

And yes it can be considered a (cue dramatic music) !Chemical Bomb Blast! but like I also said...it doesn't look particularly lethal as such a device.

And, as the video showed - which certainly looked to have been made by kids, BTW - the whole thing could quite possibly have been done by kids and not (cue even more dramatic music) !Domestic Right Wing Terrorists!

Hopefully, the police will find out who did it, arrest them and all the breathless speculation can be put to bed one way or the other.

 

Exactly, and it all goes back to the RW love of violence. They revel in it. They love the imagery. When it's directed at other people of course. When their rhetoric is thrown back in their faces they are outraged, although it's probably faked. And I think they get off on the real thing as long as it's a good drone's length away from them personally. They desperately wanted to see violence at the rallies in Wisconsin a few months back and they are hoping against hope that sooner or later OWS results in blood. Then they can justify the jackboots. That will be one hell of a group orgasm for them.

 

5 pages, now 85 replies and moen still can't tie this to the Tea Party.

 

This was not a stink bomb was it?

Fact number 1 someone threw a explosive device into a gathering of people the Police stated it could have caused injury or death!

Now would you care to dispute the evidence put forward by the Police that this was a explosive device and not a stink bomb?

Would you care to dispute that a explosive device can Kill and Maime?

If you can not dispute any of those points care to tell me why it shoudnt be seen as a case of attempted murder? would it possibly be because the targets were people that you disagree with? because in all honesty that is what it comes across as

 

It has nothing to do with the tea party David, nor with Republicans or Democrats what it has to do with is a lunatic who for some reason or another thinks it is ok to toss a home made bomb into a group of people, regardless of the intent or lack of intent it could have killed someone and when you do something like that you should be punished to the full extent that the law allows as a deterent to other lunatics who might fancy doing the same.

 

My sentiments exactly but what's his name is trying to somehow contact this act to the Tea Party and the media? I still don't get it.

 

Just why are you pointing to David? That is exactly what he, I, clembo, Stujoe, and CoinOKC have been trying to tell moen, DeeNeely, and Takiji. Somehow, they keep trying to blame the Tea Party despite the lack of evidence.

 

What a bunch of nonsense. No one I read ever said the Tea Party was responsible for the bomb. You guys just make this stuff up to suit your own parania. The only reason the Tea Party was even brought into the discussion was to point out that if this bomb had happened at one of their protests, Fox would have been droning on about it 24/7. Try and get any facts straight for a change. You always have had a problem "Breitbarting" other peoples posts.

 

There you go again with the Tea Party thing.....and as I mentioned earlier (sorry it didn't fit your far left narrative), I first saw the story on a right leaning sight.

 

So you did not say "tea Party" specifically, Takiji did;

All you said was;

Obvious implying RW/Tea Party

Obvious implying RW/Tea Party

 

oops

 

Who was pointing at David? kindly explain what you mean

 

YOUI! Your post specifically says David

 

AND THATS WHAT DAVID HAD BEEN SAYING!! OR IS IT THAT YOU SIMPLY WANT TO TRY AND CAUSE A ROW?

See I can do the big bold as well

 

Still not a explanation as to what I was suppose to be doing wrong though is it
Simply quoting a post were I agree with a person and they then go on to agree with what I said hardly pointing LOL
While we are at it, I wonder why it is that you have not actualy condemned the attack! Oh yes you claim to have done so previously in post #80 but perhaps you would be kind enough to tell me in what # post that condemnation is?
Perhaps you might also care to answer the questions I raised in post #86 or would that be too hard for you?

 

I don't understand why anyone is even mentioning the Tea Party or FOX News in reference to this incident.

Had a similar incident occurred at a Tea Party rally, there would just simply be no reason to even mention OWS or MSNBC without explicit evidence that they were involved and/or encouraged such behavior. Neither the Tea Party nor FOX News, thus far as the evidence shows, is involved.

 

Why are you stopping there? As of yet, I have seen no evidence that this has anything to do with politics, let alone anyone on the right wing.

 

I'll answer your questions:

It's difficult to know for certain. The police have said the device was "similar to what is used in teenage pranks". I'm no expert (and I presume you aren't either) on stink bombs, but I would think there are many different chemical combinations used to make "stink bombs". I say we wait until the forensic evidence is examined before we jump to conclusions and call it something that it may not be.

I don't think anyone on this forum is saying that it wasn't a serious offense.

I didn't know that the police had released evidential information on the composition of the device. If you could provide a link to the information, I would appreciate reading it.

They certainly can. Is anyone on this forum disputing that?

I've said previously that these people have every right to protest and, in fact, I ENCOURAGE them to protest! America has a history of protests and I see it as a manifestation of democracy. I don't agree with a lot that the Flea Party is protesting, but that's beside the point. Throwing something into a crowd of people that could potentially injure someone is as wrong as wrong gets. Nothing I've read on this forum encourages that type of behavior.

I've said that we should review the evidence before we jump to conclusions. Please tell me what is wrong with that assertion.
