The guy they just arrested in the Times Square bombing lived in a town not that far from me that I know fairly well. As a matter of fact it's right next to a hospital I have to take one of the kids to today to get some sort of test at 10am. The truck was bought the off Craig'slist I check everyday.
-
I was just reading an article about him (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_times_square_car_bomb) and thinking he must have been fairly close to you.
-
What an amateur.
If he had been a real terrorist, he would have done something like the Oklahoma City bomb. Fireworks are powerful, but you need enormous quantities of them to make a really devastating explosion.
Though I more and more suspect that the US government itself fakes these "attacks".

I have worked all around there and used to drive by the street everyday after dropping a coworker off after work. It's a city with lots of low income housing. When they said Bridgeport at first I thought of these Somalis I had to fire when in a supervisory role at my last job. They were scary

They would have done a better job of faking that than this.

In Sweden in the 1960's and 70's there was a law that if a criminal was "unfit" of committing his crime, he should not be punished. That meant that if, for example, an arsonist was too dumb to put something on fire in an effective way, the charges were dropped.

That way he was free to keep trying till he got it right! :rofl:

Guy certainly wasn't a terrorist, judging from what he actually did. Maybe he had a nervous breakdown or something?

I read that he used fertilizer but it was a different kind than the high grade ammonium nitrate fertilizer Timothy McVeigh did and it would not have been volatile enough to make the same sort of explosion. I also read that he had just spent five months with his wife in Pakistan and I wondered if maybe the Taliban in Pakistan had threatened her life if he didn't do this.

Drove by the road today the guy lived on as I was at the doctor a few blocks away there where tons of news trucks and several roads blocked off. My foster son lived one block over from the road. He took these as we drove by. The one that would have best was blocked by another car :-\

Yup. The idea was good, however. The thought was that such a person was a poor sucker that shouldn't be punished.

Are all unsuccessful attempted crimes in Sweden treated this way...for instance, murder attempts in which the bullet misses by an inch? Failure to complete the crime does not necessarily make the criminal a poor stupid loser who deserves a break.

No, that law was abolished in the 1970's.
But you usually get less punishment for a murder attempt than for a murder, yes.

Could you say that a little louder? Try to speak into my oversized necktie with the flashing red light on it.

It's very easy to make a big bomb. The hard thing is to get away with detonating it.

As long as there's some punishment, that seems fair. :prude:

I said, everyone should take up arms against the U.S. government. Did you get all that?? ;) ;D
-
Everyone should take up arms against every government. Too bad most people don't get that, especially not here in Europe, at least not in Sweden, the UK and such countries.

I wouldn't worry too much about that, Greece is showing the future of what is going to happen soon. 8)

Here in the US, if you even so much as criticize the president, half the people will respond saying they agree, and the other half will call you a communist.
