Occupy Maine shaken by bomb blast

Actually, threatening to do so is domestic violence. Just think about that for a moment.

 

Oh, so you've formed your opinion by what you've seen on TV and what you've read on the Internet? But, you don't know any actual facts about the particular case? I see. OK, well... when you DO know some facts, get back with us. Thank you.

 

Not just domestic violence, but domestic TERRORISM!

 

Sure! Go ahead and report me. I'll risk it.

I have a better question. Why are you and the other Righties here belittling the incident, defending them, and making every excuse you can think of to try and advocate for the acceptance of this behavior? Why would you take the side of people that throw chemical bombs? Just curious.

It seems to be a rather funny position to take. Hum?

 

I am trying to figure that out myself. Instead of coming right out and saying this was a bad thing they are making it some petty occurence. I simply can't understand making a bombing, any bombing, into such an irrelevancy.

 

You are correct. Sorry.

 

"Belittling it"? Not really. Trying to bring you back to reality. At this time, there appears to be no proof of any of your allegations and the police apparently are still pursuing the teen prank idea.

 

....and what's his name tried to draw some parallel to this act & the Tea Party, which I still don't get....

 

To be perfectly honest, I knew exactly what they would do when I posted this thread. I have just been letting out rope inch by inch to give them enough to hang themselves and they didn't disappoint. They never do.

Let’s review:

rlm - Domestic terrorism? Really(?)
rlm - But a bottle that can be attributed to no one and is about as likely a teen prank as anything else?
rlm - So you can prove that it was not a teen prank? Would love to see that!
rlm - I never said that it was a teen prank. What I said was that right now, no one could prove it was not a teen prank.
Okie - The police don't even know if it was intended specifically for the Flea Party since a similar incident occurred elsewhere that wasn't even Flea Party-related! The police chief has described the device as one associated with "teenage pranks".
Stu - A 'chemical bomb' could be Mentos and Soda too.
rlm - And I don't want to talk about the abundance of left wing violence either because when it is all over, it is not connected to the lw/rw. 99.999% is just violence and you will never believe it.
Okie - However, it may also be a teenage prank
Okie - If a kid at school throws a stink bomb, you would define it as an "act of terrorism". After all a stink bomb is simply household matches containing the chemicals phosphorous sesquisulfide and potassium chlorate. Mix those with ammonia and you have a stink bomb.
Okie - We have one of the members of this forum proclaiming its "domestic terrorism" and another proclaiming its "attempted murder". Let's find out the facts before making a judgment.
Okie - I'm so peeved that all those little, stink-bomb-throwing rapscallions aren't rotting in jail right now. I hope the warden takes away their Kool-Aid boxes and won't let them have peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches for a year.
Okie - Really? Is that what the bottle looked like? Do you have evidence of that? Are you on the forensic team investigating this incident? If so, can you tell us exactly what chemicals were in the bottle? Please tell us the amount of each chemical. Or, if it's still under investigation, I understand that you can't release that information yet.
Okie - Did I ever say it WASN'T a serious issue? No, I'm simply saying that one should not jump to conclusions without facts.
rlm - Problem with all you logic is that you have absolutely no proof that anything
Okie - When you advocated burning down the Wisconsin State House, would doing so have been termed "domestic terrorism"?
Okie - Oh, so you've formed your opinion by what you've seen on TV and what you've read on the Internet? But, you don't know any actual facts about the particular case? I see. OK, well... when you DO know some facts, get back with us. Thank you.
Okie - Not just domestic violence, but domestic TERRORISM!
Do all these comments taken together seem like people that have a vested interest in seeing this incident as being as benign as possible? Why in the world wouldn't you just condemn the act instead of spending page after page trying to minimize it's significance? You just have to wonder if they are actually afraid that yet another Right-winger will surface and be held responsible for this act of violence that in all likelihood ends up being inspired by something like Fox so called news. You just have to wonder. Thanks for playing guys!

 

So the evidence that we have asked for still does not exist, but you believe you are correct, and we and the police (with the evidence) are wrong. I guess that is what I expect from you.

BTW, if you are so interested in domestic terrorism, how about following up with these;

I am not surprised. There are certainly enough people on the message boards for Fox News calling for violence against the protesters.

 

And he just keeps playing.

 

So the evidence you have is ? Good luck!

 

Poor old "Jumping-To-Conclusions-Moen". You've jumped to conclusions ever since I first started reading your posts, lo those many moons ago. But, it appears your eyesight may be fading, my friend. You obviously haven't read my words where I state, "Let's find out the facts first". I know you really want to lay the blame for this incident at someone's feet and then crucify them. But, you really should know all the facts first. After all, the facts of this case haven't been revealed, the perpetrators haven't been identified and a motive hasn't been established. But, if you want to blame it on the conservatives and/or FOX News, I suppose that's your prerogative, naive as it is.

Now, if you'll go back and read my statements, I said that this incident "could be an act of domestic terrorism" or "it might not be". Like I've said before, what's wrong with finding out the facts before you start pointing fingers and accusing someone? Again, you've shown that you are just simply prejudiced (meaning to "pre judge"). I hope you're never called to jury duty.

 

I just wanted to hear your admission that, by definition and by law, your statement about burning down the Wisconsin State House qualified as domestic terrorism. Thank you.

I have no intention of reporting you to anyone. If this forum is monitored by any authorities, they can see the words for themselves. Caution is best exercised by not vocalizing an intent toward violent behavior. Just sayin'.

 

Only they wouldn't take them out of context the way you and your Righie sidekicks never fail to do. I think I'm safe.

 

I have no vested interest in anything about it at all. If the people are caught, they should be punished. It is dangerous no matter the reasons behind it.

However, I must say that the video posted back a ways is the first I have seen of these 'chemical bombs' (Scarey Name!) and I am not particularly impressed. Looks like it could leave a brown stain in the underwear...But barring anything shrapnel-like put into it, it doesn't exactly look particularly lethal. The video posted back a way does more to make it seem like a kid's prank than it does to dispel it. But it is still a dangerous thing to do in a crowded place.

 

It looks like Beavis and Butthead have returned early.

You might want to consider that the explosion spreads lye around the immediate area. Lye, especially wet lye, is extremely caustic to human skin.

 

Sorry, but I do not get your point. Every one of us has stated that it was wrong and someone ought to be punished. However, the people who have been calling this "domestic terrorism" are seriously lacking one thing - evidence. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but regardless it does not hold a candle to Fort Hood, Atlanta Olympics, Murrah Building, Austin IRS, ALF, anthrax attacks, etc. Now it might be in the same league as the terrorist acts I posted above, but no one here seems the least concerned about them. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that they were all done by the libs against the right.
