Chemical bomb tossed into Occupy Maine encampment

Or, it could have been a set up by the OWS'ers in an attempt to create their own Reichstag moment.

I mean, no one got hurt. It doesn't sound like it was a very serious attempt to actually hurt anyone.

And the race card king tops himself by being the Godwin King.

Is there anything you can't either link to Race, The Nazi's or WW2?

Are is it just you're devoid of your own original thoughts?
 
That must be it, then. When I hung out with guys they were too busy trying to get into my pants or talking about getting into my pants, or talking about getting into somebody else's pants, etc.

that's a different kind of explosion they were after..
 
I have seen this before, back in the 70s. You have an unregulated drug orgy like this and several people fight over the last toke in a multi person bong and ; BOOM!!! A critical mass bong implosion. Lucky they had the bong under a table.
 
pbrauer,

Thanks for posting this information, but until you know exactly who threw the homemade explosive device you can't blame Republicans for this. By all accounts this could easily just be some teenagers who thought they could get away with what they thought was a harmless prank. By all accounts, no one was injured (Thanks God), but such an act could simply be the result of young punks with no political affiliation out for kicks.

Regardless of who is to blame, I hope the local police catch the sons-of-bi***. :mad:
I can't agree with you more Objective Voice, I was just playing the same game that at least one poster on the right does. That's all.
 
Sorry, PB, but you damn well know one asshole committing a crime hardly represents 160 million Americans. Let's try to keep a little bit of honesty in the debate, shall we? Some idiot did a stupid, stupid thing. I hope they're caught and dealt with in accordance with the law. He does not represent me or (I'm guessing) most of those who think the OWS movement is a waste of time and a misdirection of energy (the premise is valid, the means in which they are trying to make changes?? kind of ineffective long term, and probably very, very costly to to govt, and working Americans by proxy).

See my previous post to Objective Voice. Regardless who it was, it could be the rhetoric from the right on the OWS could have caused some nutcase to react in this manner. Not saying it did, but could have.

When I posted the story, I knew I would see this.
 
That's exactly why it's just as likely to have been an OWS false flag mission.

Anybody's ballgame at this point.

One thing is certain, we're not dealing with pros.
And he shoots again....

What drug orgy?
 
This is my favorite part of the article... You know Pete, the part that questions your "right winger" theory:

Acting Police Chief Michael Sauschuck said today that detectives don't necessarily believe Occupy Maine was the sole target because another device was set off elsewhere that night. He described the device as the type often associated with teenage pranks. But he said police are taking it seriously because someone could've been hurt.
 
Why would a left leaning person bomb a left leaning protest?

Maybe you missed the quote from the police that was in the original story, that i just posted:

...detectives don't necessarily believe Occupy Maine was the sole target because another device was set off elsewhere that night. He described the device as the type often associated with teenage pranks.
 
Yes yes, and the Tea Party are all gun toting racists. :roll:

How much evidence is there of gun-totin', racist Tea Partiers compared to evidence of drug feinin' OWS'ers? Be honest, now!

Proportionally, probably more on the TP side than the OWS side just given the sheer number of people involved in the OWS movement.
 
Attack me, and avoid the facts...

Classic liberalism in action!

OH I have no problem accepting the facts, the OP jumping on the "it's the right wing" bandwagon is not very clever until the facts of the case are established.

What I find hilarious is your sudden concern for the facts of this incident.

For you specifically, if it had happened to a Tea Party rally, and the guys in the car had been yelling "Tea Baggers" and "Facists" and "Nazi's" I wonder if you'd be as concerned before yelling "IT'S THE EVIL LEFT WINGERS!"
 
Why would a left leaning person bomb a left leaning protest?

To create sympathy for the movement and give the more militant members of that movement a reason to get stupid. Allow me to refer you to this post, very early in this thread.

We don't. But the right wing better hope it isn't.

Now, why in the world should the, "Right wing hope it isnt"? Let's not pretend this sort of tactic hasn't been done, before.

Got any evidence to support that? I'm thinking, no, because that has been proported previously and the supporting evidence was an epic failure. Like when it was insisted that there were a lot of TP'ers arrested.
 
The partisian paranoia in this country has become certifiable. If something gets thrown at a gathering of "liberals", then it must have been a right-wing nut job that did it. If something gets hurled at a gathering of "conservatives", then it must have been a socialistic, bleeding-heart lefty that did it.

Dear lord, people, grow a brain! You remember what brains are... you had one as a kid. It's the thing between your ears that reminds you how to scratch your nose without poking your own eye out and how to tell the difference between fact and fantasy, specifics and speculations, that kind of thing.

If there is a bunch of crazed sickos throwing chemical bombs at strangers, I don't care if they vote republican or democratic or if they're too young to vote at all, throw their scrawny asses in jail and don't just throw the book at 'em, use the book to hit the buggers over the head!

Not everything in this world is based on righties versus lefties. :shock:
