What makes you think you can assume that this person is of ANY ethnic group?

He's joking. Lighten up. Sheesh.

I find it unreal they are letting the traffic flow on the lower level even though they expect explosives are in the vehicle on the upper level.

IF they're just pipe bombs, they aren't going to blow a hole in the deck, unless they're 2' diameter pipes.

“My guess ... Jerry Brown decided he didn’t want to be California’s next governor after all.”

I got an email from a friend saying: ‘The driver was Jerry Moonbeam, and he was demanding a recount!’

Maybe it’s Chuckie Schumer. He’s awfully upset at not being the Senate Majority Leader.

“IF they're just pipe bombs, they aren't going to blow a hole in the deck, unless they're 2’ diameter pipes.”

Most likely, but it sure seems the Police in this case are not erring on the side of caution. Seems like I read a story recently of several bricks of C-4 being “found” just lying around somewhere.

I hope you are right and these are just amateur pipe bombs.

Cars at the toll booth are making a u-turn and being turned back. Cars between the toll booth and Treasure Island (I’d guess at least a couple miles) are just stuck on the one-way level until the police give the all-clear. Even if this jerk has a pipe bomb, which he probably doesn’t, he’ll blow up his car but not make a dent in the bridge, either deck.

Get a loader equipped with a magnet, pick up the car and drop it over the side of the bridge. Resume flow of traffic.

As often as possible, seek the simple solution.

The guy’s been captured. Stuck bridge traffic is off the bridge, and the toll booths are opening up.

“I doubt that 5 pipe bombs that are not attached to the bridge will cause significant structural damage”

It could seriously scratch the paint.

Is that a pipe bomb in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? Inspector Harry Callahan is the go to guy in SF would be suicide cases IIRC.

I volunteered to do that a couple of times and the CHP told me I couldn’t.

Typical Libtard narcissitic idjit — these people cannot even off themsleves quietly alone somewhere, they have to make a huge friggin production of it and inconvenience as many as possible while doing it.
