Homegrown Anti-Corporate Coffee Commie freaks. Just like those fascist morons who trashed downtown Seattle back in Clinton’s day... remember that picture of the guy wearing the black balaclava destroying the front window display of the Nike shop? While wearing Nikes? These people are so stupid it’s really quite remarkable they can build a bomb without blowing their own heads off.

One bench damaged? That’s punks, MAYBE some wanna be anarchists or something. Don’t get me wrong the police should throw their butts in jail, but I don’t think that’s AQ.

Small scale live fire exercise rehearsal for a big one? The beginning of a summer offensive aimed at discouraging NY tourism? A recently released rapist who embraced Islam in prison? A leftist who shares the president's disdain for America? A disgruntled employee? The possibilities are endless.

We need to deploy a platoon from the 156th Grief Counseling Battalion, too.

It's precisely the type of thing commie anarchists would do. They don't do large-scale bombings. They were sending an anti-corporation message and a Memorial Day slap to the troops. It's also "Fleet Week" here in New York City, with hundreds of sailors walking around taking in the sights.

One thing everyone seems to have overlooked is

The Mob

Check out these stats, it may help you wonder a bit less. The ATF investigates between 800 and 900 bombings a year. Arsons, even more.

If "THEY" have you thinking muzzie nutcases everytime someone firebombs a building, then "THEY" have already won.

Just say'n - not everything is as it first appears.....

This is going to be pinned on racist, sexist, Christian right wing kkk terrorists.

Just like back in the ‘toon days.

*protestors angry at the chain’s global reach

This so stupid, STBX is only about 10% of the wolds coffee market. *

I guess these protestors don’t drink anything caffeinated, since none of those products can be grown in the United States and all have to be imported via INTERNATIONAL trade.

A small improvised explosive device detonated outside an Upper East Side Starbucks early Monday morning, shattering the coffee shop's windows and raising fears of terrorism.
It's okay for NY'ers to raise fears of terrorism, as long as you don't use color coding.

"We were all really scared."

Well you should be scared!

You live in a city with communities of maniacal murdering mohammedans, you have been attacked by them twice before, you are perceived by them as infidels or Jews, and you overwhelmingly voted for someone who has no intention of protecting you.

Back around 1990, some kid put a pipe bomb on my above ground swimming pool on Halloween and blew the snots out of it. Must have been about a 2” pipe, length unknown. The cops were clueless and I had to bring in pieces of shrapnel the size of a quarter and a few grains of unburned powder to convince them that is wasn’t just a “cherry bomb”. Then the FBI got interested, apparently. The kid was found because he shot off his mouth at school. He did some prison time.

Good part was that the pool came with the house and I wanted to get rid of it. Between restitution and insurance, I made about 5 grand. Bad part is it went off about 8 p.m. when younger kids were still making their rounds.

I won’t get into the details of how I happened to know about the powder and shrapnel... kids of my generation used to do their own R&D before the days of the Internet :)
