So this was supposedly a bomb?

On the heals of bringing Boston to its knees two weeks ago, I was able to get my hands on a Mooninite. Does this look like a bomb to you?

    If they used Sony batteries to run it, then yes…

    Boston to its knees? What are you reading Fox News that described Boston as a ‘City Gripped by Fear’? If anything, it mildly inconvenced anyone using two lines on the subway and on I-93 for about six hours.

    There is a lot more to this story than you, the Digg bloggers, or most of the media realized. When the facts are viewed in a more balanced way (the discovery of fake pipe bombs that same day, bomb threats were made at a hospital, etc). If your really curious a fellow on LiveJournal wrote them all up with links to all his references: http://hethatishere.livejournal.com/220578.html. These facts don’t fully exonerate anyone involved, as clearly communication, or a lack thereof, was the primary factor leading to the scare. But frankly, I grow tired of this whole thing and the LULZing hipsters who seem unable to take anything seriously or be bothered to research.

    The whole thing was a ridiculous situation and is more of an example of how our culture has become fear-mongering than it is about gross-incompetence. The whole situation is funny only because of the outcome, and it is a damn shame people can’t be bothered with the facts, or with the idea of seriously discussing the events in a way that good can actually come of it.

    Kind of reinforce something one of the police here in my home city said a few months back. They have been told to see any one not wearing a badge as a potenchel Terrorist.

    “They have been told to see any one not wearing a badge as a potenchel Terrorist.” Haven’t they seen Speed? We’re screwed, Howard Payne was the best terrorist yet!
