An 18-inch pipe bomb was found on train tracks behind St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon.

FOX29 reported:

Philadelphia police are investigating after a pipe bomb was reportedly discovered behind a church in Holmesburg.

Philadelphia police sources tell FOX 29 an 18-inch pipe bomb was found Sunday, just after 1:30 p.m., behind St. Dominic’s Catholic Church, on the 8500 block of Frankford Avenue, in Philadelphia’s Holmesburg section.

Officials say a passerby found the pipe bomb, and noted it was a PVC pipe with capped ends and black powder on it.

PVC?
A “Bomb” or a very large noise maker?
Intended to maim and kill or just scare?
Was the inside filled with scrap metal, ball bearings, nails?

The only difference between the two is the badge.

If this was planted by a Republican, he would be arrested and thrown into solitary already.

Probably the same FBI asset who left the ones at the DNC and RNC the night before the January 6th “erection.”

Every time I see a pipe-bomb story I need to read the whole thing. Years ago in Toledo they raided a garage and called the 4” SCH40 steel pipe with handles welded on, a pipe-bomb.

The fact that the perp isn’t a republican won’t stop the FIB from throwing a republican in jail.

PVC and black powder?

Any comment about the perps IQ would make me an able-ist (what a stupid word).

Heck of a potato gun!

I used to work in the pipeline industry. My first thought after reading only the headline was “18” in diameter”!!! Could have been one big bomb! Yikes!

My first close encounter with black powder occurred when I was in the seventh grade. We used it regularly for rocket propellant until I entered college. I have purchased it and I have made it from scratch. Then we shifted to more energetic propellants like zinc and sulfur. I am intimately familiar with black powder. It is sensitive, but rather wimpy.

My bet is Anifa pipe bomb. The cities are full of ANTIFA cannon fodder who are up to no good, just like the above noted idiot.Generally they suffer from a spiritual malaise that turns them into animals.

What you missed mostly is the fact that the gunpowder was in a PVC pipe. Those pipes burst at 250-300PSI, which means the bomb wouldn’t develop enough pressure to cause much damage to something as durable as a railroad track. Black powder charges must be confined within a rather stout container so that useful pressure can be achieved. An actual explosive, like C4, needs only about a 1/2 pound uncontained charge to sever a rail.
