UPDATED: ‘Green’ Energy Company Threatens Economics Professor … with Package of Dismantled Bomb Parts (Updated: No Threat)
Although I’m not trying to “run interference”, there are several things about this that don’t add up.
First, if you give me a big enough pile of junk and some explosives, I can figure out how to make a bomb out of it. However, if you don’t provide the explosives, it’s just a pile of junk!
So, what about the explosives? Were there any? I seriously doubt the police would have opened the package in the presence of the recipient if there had been explosives included.
If there were no explosives, what was really in the package? With the history of bombings in Europe, I can understand people being nervous, and a collection of unrecognizable pieces could conceiveably be mistaken for a bomb threat. So, was there something unmistakeable, like a piece of pipe, some end-caps and wires? Or was it assorted strange electronic and mechanical parts that an uninitiated person interpreted as a bomb?
There is no mention of any arrests. There is no mention of the matter being turned over to Interpol, the FBI or anyone else for criminal investigation.
I don’t doubt that leftist morons (please excuse the redundancy) could be so stupid as to send such a tantrum. I just think a simple mistake in labeling packages is equally as likely. The line between malicious intent and bone stupidity is fine indeed!
Let’s see what happens in the next couple of weeks.
