Too early to tell but all signs point to domestic terrorists, either organized like the Christian militia group who wanted to attack a police funeral or a lone would-be bomber like that ********* who flew his plane into the IRS building in Texas or the jerk who shot the abortion doctor in church.

Middle aged white male, right?

Can you say that? I thought it was islamic extremists or you are saying every Muslim is a terrorist...

Islamist was the name for the Muslim fundamentalists before you had to add 'extremist' or 'terrorist' or 'totalitarian' every time you said it (so that people didn't think you were referring to all Muslims).

The term was never coextensive with simply being Muslim. It referred to the interpretation of the religion that considered any Muslim not living under Sharia law to be an apostate.

For some reasons I like sayin Arabs in english..love the sound of it.

You're from Montreal, you got any Arab friends?

Meh, in this part of the world no matter how you phrase it all Muslims, Arabs, Indians, Pakistani's, etc, etc are born terrorists. There is being proper and politically correct but deep down inside there is a great distaste for all Muslims. Every action has a reaction.

Another apology tour is in order so this sort of thing doesn't happen again.

I read on the news that the homemade bomb was made of propane and fireworks. Sheesh! How desperate(and cheap!) can they get? If you're going to do it, at least do it right! What, Uranium's expensive nowadays!? Anyway, good thing they found out about it before anybody got maimed or killed.

 

[Mesa]

I really haven't paid that close attention to this story (I'm trying to stay away from the news for now as it's mostly just depressing the hell out of me), but I doubt this was any organized terror group. This seems to be an amateurish job. If Islamo facists want to pull something like this off, they will be succesful. Only a matter of time. But like I said, I haven't been following the story too closely. The good news is, that because it was a failed attempt, there will be a lot of evidence to gather clues from, not to mention all the video surveillance in that part of the area. If this was a "hoax," I hope that joker is ready to spend their life in prison for this.

All witnesses say it was a white male, middle aged.

I really don't think this was intended to go off and do damage so much as send some sort of message.

The elements such as fertilizer invloved have to be properly mixed togeather to do actual explosive damage, they were all just indepenently sitting in the car un-mixed.

My opinion is this is one of those stupid ass home grown, jerk off militias, like the Tea Baggers, you get some ass clown extremist and end up with ____ like this.

Either way the thing to do here is find the guy, and then just handcuff him to a ____ing bench in a New York subway and let people do whatever they want to him. Good old fashioned justice.

Its unfair to claim this may be related to any tea party movement. From everything I've seen and personally witnessed, all their protests have been peaceful. then again, if you believe what the media feeds you, well... you're not that informed IMO.

I've had to weed my way through a tea bagger protest, believe me, plenty of _______s and nuts just like any other party. Thats why I said extremist.

The militias aren't a myth.

And I used the modifier "like"

And enough of the news is lying ____, your so well informed from your underground Batman truth source. Gimem a ____in break already, theres such a thing as too paranoid.

This is pretty scary, as it's literally a few miles from home. Thank God for vigilant citizens.

Yeah that's pretty much what I think. Some weirdo that is disgruntled about something.

There's bad apples in every bunch. Just like it's unfair that Muslims get labeled as terrorists because of a few pricks that believe in extremism and wish death and destruction against any "infidel," you're going to likewise get your redneck white-hood-wearing Nazi trash attending a tea party. It's ignorant to think that they represent the majority. But that's what the media is playing up on. Putting labels such as "nazis" or "racists" on all in attendance just because they are legally and peacefully exercising their first amendment rights to voice their disgust at the non-american and socialist turn our country is taking is misguided.

I don't know what you mean by "underground batman news source," so I can't really reply to that, except to say that I get my information from as many sources as possible, in order to weigh and decide for myself what I think is true and right/wrong.

And as far as being too paranoid... If you haven't noticed, the USA is not in a good place right now. This is the most separated I have ever seen our country in my short 34 years of life. Racial and political tensions are high, sadly, and something is going to give at some point. So yes, I am concerned, and paranoid about what new dark and un-american path our leaders and elected congress men and women may be taking us down. I'm concerned that I live in a state that is now in the national spotlight that's wants to label 70% of it's legal citizens as "racists" because they support the decision of the governor to pass a law to keep our own soverance against illegal invaders, regardless of race. I'm concerned that our president (and our previous president) apparently has zero concern about irresponsible spending that is indebting our great country to China. I'm concerned that the United States is now taking a stance of apology and regret for protecting itself and becoming the great country that it is, always willing to help other countries in need. so sorry that I won't sit quietly and idly by and let it happen around me without informing myself of what is happening and predicted to happen if we stay on this destructive and un-american path.

Deckard, I have no beef with you, so I wont be responding any further to any of your posts in this thread. The last word is yours.

Like I said, I've been trying to stay away from the news this week, as it mostly is all bad and depressing, as difficult as that may be from a concerned American.

"Socialism", "Communism" and "Un-american" are terms that I've seen used and re-sued so irresponsibly and carelessly these days, it makes me confirm that a lot of people have really no clue what they mean...


EDIT:
BTW, LOL @ the "timing device"...
