Hmmm, have to keep an eye on this story.

[TDmvp]

they said on tv someone road by on a bike and throw a bomb at a military recruiting station

[Dedhed]

Sounds like a 16 year old with a home-made C02 bomb.

[backup qb]

F##king idiots! Catch em, lock em up and throw away the key. Or strap the bomb to them and let everyone watch. Make an example.

Ah yes, the "kill people to show people that killing people is wrong" tactic.

Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately in this country they'll have a subset of people defending their right to throw a bomb and the ACLU waging legal battles in our courts. If I was a judge not only would I lock them up I'd sentence them to serve their time in a military prison where people would know exactly what they did.

Call me a cynic (and im not usually a conspiracy theorist), but Clav, doesn't the timing of this "bombing" seem a bit convenient (with fights over FISA, telecom immunity, etc) going on? A masked biker throws a rudimentary bomb into a military recruiting station...no one is hurt...no real damage is done?

Perhaps im over thinking it, but when i read this story i was like....hmmm, how convenient. This crap government knows no bounds though.

As a frequent visitor to NYC, I'm only a 40-minute train ride from the city, I think we have it in the back of our minds that something could happen.

You just hope and pray something tragic doesn't happen.

Here's the secret, if we fund them then they're not terrorists. Not until they turn on us.

Is it a government conspiracy or luck?

Or a miracle?

Depends on what you're looking for I guess. The best of the worst or the worst of the worst.

My realist side?

This administration assembled a dream team of advisors and cabinet and still couldn't get $#it done. Any intelligent member bailed on GWB years ago. At this point the administration couldn't pull off a conspiracy if you spotted it a scrabble board and a dictionary...

Forgive me if I get a tad angry when I see an American comfortable with the "Everytown Israel" mentality.

When this becomes the case we need much bigger changes than voting for the the party that's not in power...

I know its funny to point fingers at the left-wing nutjobs, but look at their reactions, some even in this thread. This was clearly one of their own thinking it's their duty to stop our government through violent and destructive means. You know what they're going to say? The same thing they will say when any terrorist attacks us, regardless of the the terrorists motives: Bush/The Republicans suck, and they probably did this to scare people into getting votes. A freaking terrorist could walk up and shoot their friend in the face and they'd tell everyone they suspect it was really someone from the CIA. They are dangerously out of touch with reality.

This says it all:
be a political manifesto railing against the Iraq war
Congratulations, bombers. You are now officially traitors.

Quite an assumption that it was a "left wing nutjob" that would bomb. Last time I checked, us "left wing nutjobs" were more of the pacifist type. Not the type to fight our battle with bombs, but hopefully with an inkling of diplomacy.

And, trust me, this little incident is significant, but yes, I do find incredible fault with Bush and the current republican party...i don't even know where to start! Though I've said my piece numerous times in the politics thread.

[worm]

Blove is by far the smartest poster in this thread.

[chickennob2]

Wow, a homemade device breaks some windows, no one is hurt, and all of a sudden its cluster**** LEFT WING NUTJOBS! RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY! on a god damn football forum. Maybe this is the problem with our political system. We are all so quick to jump into our partisan attacks on the other extreme that we fail to actually see the issue.

[cutthemdown]

Cmon even the lefites wouldn't support someone doing something like this. Let's not get carried away and start going that far. Anyone of us is against this sort of crime. Being agianst nuts setting off bombs is not a left right issue. Everyone wants an orderly safe society we just diagree on how to go about getting it. In the end we all want the same thing right?

Its pretty funny half the tree huggers coming from the left on this thread that I've never seen contribute to a Bronco discussion. My point is no matter how stupid the action there is always someone willing to defend his/her actions no matter how anti-US the action is. It would be nice someday for people no matter their political views to condemn some moron willing to throw a bomb into any building, whether militaristic or not. Maybe serving in the military gave me certain views but I don't have time for anyone far left or right that would do something like this.

;D .... cranky in the mornings , untill my 3 rd cup of coffee

shouldnt you be hitting the crank about now?

[yavoon]

Nope.

I don't know how many of you guys know whats happened in berkeley with the city council. basically they passed a resolution calling the marine corps "unwelcome and uninvited intruders" trying to shut them down. threatened their lease, then gave parking spots to leftist protestors to shout that the marines were rapists and murderers and physically block entrance into the marine corps recruiting center.

and I'm sure glad no one bombed the marine corps recruiting center in berkeley. but its the same lines, the enemy of the left is the united states of america.

[epicSocialism4tw]

No, no, no! I never said the leftists were traitors! I said these bombers were. I want to make that clear.

Sure...

I was acting on the assumption that the bombings were carried out by leftists, which is an assumption as of now. But its an assumption that makes sense.

Does anyone wonder why this isnt the biggest news in the country right now? It certainly should be.

[Bronco_Beerslug]

No, no, no! I never said the leftists were traitors! I said these bombers were. I want to make that clear.You made it very clear, everyone who doesn't believe in your right wing/Neocon ideals are terrorists, god hating commies. If you are in retail, do you have a problem selling your product to these less than human animals?

Does anyone wonder why this isnt the biggest news in the country right now? It certainly should be. Shouldn't your love of Dirk supersede that as the biggest news going?

[elsid13]

Well this thread will end in either the butt soon.

What is a shame is some homegrown morons decided that it was alright to bomb a place in major American city because they felt they had to make a statement. Thank God, no one was hurt, but we need to catch them before they decide they need to make more of statement by attacking when there are people around.

Or some punk kid that has more delusions of Grandeur , then of reality ......
I think the bombing was deliberately set at that time so no one would get hurt ... If it was a home grown terrorist , or someone that really had a vendetta , they would have bombed during business hours ......

Bombing is never right . but let the punishment fit the crime ...... instead of pits , snakes , strapping a bomb to the person , why not make him work it off in the military , if he doesnt , he goes to Levenworth untill his debt is paid off ..... He bombed a federal building , so his punishment should be federal ....
