Things go boom

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

My plan for any counter protest of this kind of thing would be to have the wall of peeps turn their back on WBC one by one. In silence.

That is exactly what's happening. So far over 4000 people on Facebook signed up for the human wall.

Sweet.

And it will be attended by the President.

Pamela Geller, ideological inspiration to Anders Behring Breivik, has declared the attack in Boston was an act of "jihad".

How does she know?  Super secret Christian Zionist powers, it would seem.  Also, arguing that people should perhaps, you know, wait for evidence to show this to be the case are "carrying water for the murderers".

As at least one person has noted, this could be seen as a sign of Geller's extreme Islamophobia, or it could be, as some of us have long suspected, that she is in fact violently opposed to the idea of rational thought at all.

I see the FBI believe now that these were pressure-cooker based explosives.

That's good.  If they can find a serial number, they can trace the shipping history and find the point of purchase for such an item.  With any luck, that place will have CCTV.  And if we're really lucky, they were stupid enough to buy said item with a credit or debit card.

Well considering the number of unexploded devices I would say that the credit/debit card route will probably be the most likely to lead to a quick arrest.

That's assuming they weren't home made pressure cookers, of course.

The Yemen-based Al-Qaeda English language media outlet, Inspire Magazine, had detailed instructions on how to make a pressure cooker in their first issue.

[Junkenstein]

I would put money on them not being home-made. I would also put money on them being purchased within 20 miles.

Just a hunch, but this kind of shit seems to always have a good dose of "Stupid" built into the event.

That entire block is lined with restaurants, fancy shops and pretty big shopping malls. There's probably cameras. I'm sure they're on it, but they can't make any sort of announcement until they've found something. I did read that there was a report of a dark-skinned ( ) man wearing a hoodie placing things into garbage cans, but nothing official.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Not the hoodie thing again...

Okay, Washington St. 12 minute walk from Back Bay. If you meet me at Back Bay, that will probably help. I tend to get lost in that part of the aether between there and downtown.

Get off on the Dartmouth St side of Back Bay.  Turn left.  Walk down Dartmouth until you get to Washington.  It will be across the street from you.

I, on the other hand, am using the Nigel method.  I have eaten a Scrabble set, and I will have Keelin kick the pieces out of my guts.  We will record the order in which they are ejected, and report the results.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Indeed, but I am leaving it to the primates in question. Even if I was raised in my dad's hometown, I would have the same perspective. I don't live there, let them decide what they want to do.

Obviously.

I don't see what this has to do with the subject, though.  I am reasonably sure that drunken people of Irish descent are not hunting down IRA bagmen and beating them until they accept the money.  No, I'm reasonably sure said bagman buys a round or two, gets them all singing sentimental Irish shit, and then puts the arm on them.

Ask me how I know this.

In any case, this whole "MURRIKANS TELLING TEH POOR IRISH WAT TO DO" line is a crock of bullshit.  They let the bagman squeeze 'em a bit, they've done their part for the auld sod or whatever the fuck you call it, and then they can feel nice & Irish until next month.

I don't think anyone took you up on this. I'm curious.

Because it doesn't just happen in Boston & NY.  It is also common in Chicago and St Johns, and I've seen it work.  In fact, I've been pitched a time or two, on account of red hair.
