FBI Arrests Man in Connection to Pipe Bombs

a reply to: More1ThanAny1

No, I am following that.

I've said it's not normal.

The other posters here are the ones who aren't getting it. They posted regular vehicles with regular sticker fetishes to prove their point.

Funny enough, different Redditors have taken pics of this van for at least a year because it’s so insane.

So the more stickers you see on a vehicle the crazier that person is. Doesn’t matter the context, political or not. If you cover your car in stickers, or in some extreme cases baby dolls, you’re nuts. Like you need a welfare check up from the cops nuts.

All planted by the deep state. Everything is fake. Except that guy who shot Scalise. That guy was a typical unhinged violent liberal.

Yes... Another Sirhan Sirhan gov. controlled puppet.

Because a vehicle with TONS of stickers by a Trumpain nutjob is totally uncommon...

Such wonderful people. The BEST people!

I bet all those guys follow trump on twitter.

Wouldn't you assume that?

Yes.

Which makes it kind of a screw up on the deets for the deep state covert intelligence years-long tricked-out psyop that some folks are trial-ballooning here.

I mean, talk about a professional “oopsie!”

Oooooh. I know. There’s a GOOD GUY mole inside the op who made sure the people he followed were all left wingers!!

Yeah. That’s the ticket. Good guy mole double-agent...yeah...

Exactly. His van is professionally wrapped, with professionally-created graphics. That is not normal by a long shot.

If your agenda is self serving and it helps your agenda to say you are part of a party, that does not make you part of that party. Goes for both sides as far as im concerned. Just like people who use religion to carry out their agendas. My point is we dont know the real agenda to this situation and something is a foot, and its not my man parts this time.

I can see that you see it's suspicious enough to at least wonder, so kudos on that. Any competent investigator would note the oddities and keep that possibility open. Just too much here not to.

I've worked for the GOP, dembs, and Gov. Gary....It's not mayberry and American politics is dirty.

There are some very strange goings on....Mr. Sayoc sent out a lot of "bombs" think one of them just might explode? What then?

How hard is it to believe one Trump supporter is just out there in his thinking.

I imagine it would be said there is more than one wacko on the left.

It's just that this is really beyond bizarro odd in so many ways.

He's batting a thousand on being an incompetent. For someone who seems to fit the profile of a raging angry rightwinger, you'd think he'd have accidentally gotten one of his bombs to go off. I'm not talking about hitting any of his targets; I'm just talking about one functional device. So far as we know, none of these even needed to be detonated by law enforcement as a safety precaution, they were that badly constructed.

He drives around in a white van with the windows heavily stickered, only the windows, with custom printed vinyl decals. How many times have you seen anything like that? I've seen people take their vehicle decoration to insane levels, but it always covers windows and vehicle, never just the windows and never so neatly and thoroughly like that.

All his packages arrived pretty much in a tight time period, and some of them were delivered by courier. So one guy?

It's just a weird mix of too dumb and too smart all at once.

Its definitly out of the norm to plaster your car with political statements in the special way the truck was done.
As far as we know, he could have some tick like aligning angles so for him it would be natural to get the decals propper done and not just slap the on the window.

Who knows? I´d rather take this explanation than some "3-letter agency dudes did the window job" conspiracy.
It´s only natural.

I think it was a nutjob and the MSM played it to their advance.

Who didn't see deny, deny, deny coming.

There is video of him at a Trump rally holding up sign full of stickers, much like his vehicle.

There’s a pic on Twitter on his account of him at the rally in a custom t-shirt with the same meme collage as in part of his car.

It looked like a custom sticker job, like he did it himself on photoshop by pulling stuff off the web and using it for a custom vinyl car sticker. You can order those. and it was not that “professional “ of a job. Gaps at the windows, etc.

Boy, that was strange, thread disappeared for awhile, link 404'd and just pops back up.

Just this one it seemed, all the others were fine.

Educated guess: TPTB on ATS took the thread down to reduce server load because some of us experienced serious hickups.

I can imagine right now that there is a more than unusual amount of spiders crawling ATS today, especially the thread. And I don´t think it´s google or bing
...

Ditto that.

The URL showed "removed".

It was just gone and now back.

Hack Attack IMO. Someone not happy.

OK, Ill play.

Let's start by asking...to the best of everyone's recollection do we have the same number of pages we had before the thread disappeared and reappeared a half hour later?

Mod Note:

Not to worry, it's all still here. Just human error. Carry on.

Do not reply to this post.

a reply to: soberbacchus

I did. Saw that (thread disappearing and reappearing without staff review note and not reachable anymore, just to turn up again some minute ago, several times. But I can´t guarante it was because of the reasons I guessed (!)

I´ve also seen members kick-banned just to reappear with the old user account. Even wrote someone about that because I was just baffled that person would get banned. Happened in 2015 or 2016 I think and it was a bug or something.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said Friday that more than a dozen improvised explosive devices sent to individuals nationwide were "not hoax devices." He said each device was made of roughly 6 inches of pvc pipe, wiring, a small clock, battery and "energetic material that could be explosive."

Well from what I read on here from people who claim to have knowledge of this kind of stuff that these could not actually detonate. SO which is it?

a reply to: tonycodes

Surely some people on ATS who have seen pictures of the things are correct.
