What do we know about the pipebombs?

a reply to: jadedANDcynical

Ha! You beat me to it. The first thought that crossed my mind when I heard about this today was: They need better inspection techniques at ACME bomb plant.

What are people going to do if the perp, when apprehended, turns out to be an anarchist who isn't registered to vote? I predict heads exploding on both sides since some folks seem to be so psychic as to "know" which party old Wyle joined.

I can say without hesitation that it was either someone with serious mental illness or some three letter gubbermint agency. Sane people don't act this way.

Ah, passed through a scanner. I suppose.
Seems odd they wouldn't quickly pull it though. Probably taken care of, one way or another by now.

If this bomb sent to Biden was in the USPS mail, all
mail is scanned and recorded.

I wonder if that is what is going on with this particular
package? Or it could be it was sent via UPS or another
courier, which they probably scan all mail too.

They did not say.

My guess is that there was no trigger and those oversized wires are Sharpie colored fuses of the fireworks themselves.

So at this hour, the prevailing consensus is that these devices were not rigged to, or meant to, explode?

CNN keeps saying that thanks to NYPD a "catastrophe" was averted this morning.

The consensus is that they didnt go off. Not that they werent meant to. No one has confirmed that up to this point... Could have been assembled incorrectly

So yes the NYPD probably did play a part in helping to avert catastrophe seeing as they were still live bombs

Quit making excuses for those drama queens. Which reminds me, did you happen to catch Don Lemon's latest meltdown tonight?

What I know about the bombs for sure:

1. The large number indicates more than one person.

2. More than one person makes it a conspiracy by default.

What I expect:

An arrest within the next 24 - 36 hours.

Something already smells and if they can't nail a perp in a very short time with the resources they have, something isn't quite right. Especially of this magnitude.

Being a conspiracy and being a false flag are two VERY DISTINCTLY different things. Not saying thats what youre implying but Im clarifying for the record.

a reply to: bknapple32

Not implying anything other than I expect this to be solved rather quickly....they left a rather large footprint so to speak.

The longer it takes, the more it stinks.

a reply to: RickinVa

The longer it takes, the more it stinks.

And the chances that more might show up. And blow up.

Took a while with that guy in Texas. But he was better at it. I guess.

Also it's a crime to open someone else's mail.

Why would someone at CNN open mail addressed to another person?

a reply to: muzzleflash

Are you sure that applies to parcels that don't travel through the postal service?

I'm still wondering that, but you just brought up another thought; Does anyone know the carrier service that dropped off the parcel?

a reply to: RitualReality

There's a reason it started with Soros' home.

On a side note, who the heck has access to all these folks' addresses anyway? Certainly not found in the White Pages.

Yes it's illegal (theft) to knowingly open a parcel addressed to someone else without their consent.

The laws governing USPS don't apply here obviously but if you were intentionally opening other people's UPS or Fedex mail you are committing a crime, although of a much lesser degree.

I think they rate it based on the value of the package to determine the severity of the theft.

Off to court with 'em then.

a reply to: Phage

Accidental openings do occur but the rule is that you need to return it to the shipper as soon as you catch the error. In this case, calling the police is the right choice.

But I don't see how anyone could mistake this one, it says in huge letters on the front it's for "John Brenan", and unless there's a guy working at that desk with that name, I don't really see how this could be a mistake.

I am also confident that at an office building like CNN or any office building really, that they would have caught this error earlier and returned the package and that no one would have opened it at all.

So the fact someone opened it is utterly bizarre as it's against basic office etiquette and, though tenuously at best, borderline criminal because who the hell opens other people's mail? The name is so big on that little package.

only the mailbox is protected not the letter

a reply to: muzzleflash

My bosse's assistant opens his mail.

Off to court with her!
