I cannot post from the actual site, if you go through "New Jersey Wire: TOPIX" at http://www.topix.com/wire/state/nj, you will have to search for it (it was at #65 when I wrote this). The dead guy is "Al-Mustafa Rodriques"...hmmm...

“Who died him?”

Gee haven’t you been listening all these years? He was shot by a gun, so no one actually shot him the gun killed him. /end scarasm

Why not just link to the Courier-News story?

I grew up in Plainfield. Remember we belonged to the Country Club one year. I went back there a couple of years ago. The town was unrecognizable compared to the place I grew up in in the fifties and sixties. It’s like the 3d World now. Sad.

Thanks for the direct link, I was being blocked by c-n.com because of copyright issues, and I have not posted in quite a while and forgot the “nuances”.

Sounds a little bit about a few of Bill Ayer’s friends in the Weather Underground who blew themselves up before they could rig an ice skating rink with explosives to kill everybody there. Oh, and Bill Ayers is a friend of Obama’s who even kept in touch with him in 2002 for example.

Well, to be honest years ago (way pre-911) there were many times that if I had an accident with some of the stuff that I played with for fun the headlines would have read much the same thing.

I blew up an abandoned hulk of a car in a gravel pit once, strong enough to take the roof right off. If that happened today and they found the vehicle we would be talking about it here I imagine.

Did you know that they now have a Muslim version of the Liberation Theology? From what I have read, the Islamic Liberationists are active in Iran, probably in places like Trinidad and Jamaica where there is a growing presence of Muslims, too.

I used to golf at the PCC growing up. Great course in a very nice part of the town.
Anyway, the pipe bombs don’t seem too significant in regards to the death but it’s not everyday someone is murdered with dangerous explosives in their homes.

That is interesting! It basically puts the screws to anyone working the docks in LA or San Diego and the truckers hauling in and out. How much you wanna bet that all Walmart’s Chinese imports will be trucked out of Mexico if that port is constructed.

I wonder what the price of diesel is in Mexico these days.

"I thought I was living in the best area, but now with the bomb I don't think so," she said.

I really don’t know why, but that line made me laugh out loud.

“I wonder what the price of diesel is in Mexico these days.”

About $2.45 per gallon as of April 11th I read at one site just now, and truckers/commercial get a 20% discount in Mexico, so less than $2.10 per gallon compared to almost double that currently here.

Thanks for that. It was a good question that needed an answer.

You can post comment about the article at the botton of the page. And some Du'er posted this
"I am so disappointed in the way both the Courier and the Star Ledger are presenting this situation. I don't see the need to have the "bomb materials" as part of the title when they have been deemed "unrelated"

Great course in a very nice part of the town.

It still is, but being right down the road from Plainfield doesn't help. One of the worst towns in Jersey, as well as one of the most beautiful.

Anyway...it’s not everyday someone is murdered with dangerous explosives in their homes.

Hah! Were you there when that So. Plfd. mini market blew up real good? Left a big crater in the block. They said it was a gas explosion. Yeah and so was the one by Revlon (Edison) around the same time. That took out an apartment complex. You could see it all the way to Connecticut. That was in '94, maybe late '93. I was in the area both times and saw them up close.

Arabic-speaking Christians, as well as muslims, are moving in around there, in increasing numbers. How they afford it I can't say, because an outhouse shack in So Plfd costs $150k, and the taxes are unspeakably high.

Last word I had from Plainfield was that ex-governor Mr. Gay American McGreevey and his boyfriend bought one of the old mansions in town.

That only narrows it down to a few hundred places!

There used to be a lot of gays there, I bet most of them are dead or dying now. Or just tired of the burglaries. They will, in my experienced opinion on this subject, be in Hell all the sooner for choosing to live there. It's a real rough town. If they were smart sane they'd be in Westfield or Cranford. Richer, they'd be in Elberon or Rumson.
