MLK Parade Bomb Was ‘Most Potentially Destructive’ Official Has Ever Seen
Why am I just hearing about this?:
“On Monday, authorities located and defused a bomb left on an MLK parade route in Spokane, WA, later stating that it was “likely capable of inflicting multiple casualties.” But an anonymous official suggests the device was capable of much worse.
Hours before the MLK Day parade was to start, three city workers spotted the suspicious backpack, discovered wiring inside, and alerted police. The parade was rerouted and the area surrounding the backpack was shut off as authorities defused the bomb with a robot and, later, a hazmat team. Yesterday, the FBI confirmed that it was a “potentially deadly destructive device,” but declined to describe the bomb in any detail.
But one official, speaking anonymously to the AP, explained that the device, a sophisticated bomb with a remote detonator, had serious capacity for destruction, [saying,] ‘They haven’t seen anything like this in this country…This was the worst device, and most intentional device, I’ve ever seen.’”—(Gizmodo, via NPR)
How much you want to bet that it was put there by some WHITE, racist, American-born, man? Can we call them “terrorists” now? Or is that term reserved for Arab-born individuals only.
Had no idea. Wow.
