NO terrorist attack could cause as much damage to our country as we cause ourselves by this lily-livered, panicked over reaction.
And a reply in advance to any Freeper who suggests that this is a "dry run"....You, sir, are a pansy, and an idiot.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I think you're being too hard on them. Yeah, it's funny now that it turned out to be nothing. We'd have been lauding them as heroes if it had turned out to be something.
“Cemented in”?????
OK, I can see someone maybe using some 5 minute epoxy or superglue, but cement? I think someone might notice when someone brings in a sack of quickcrete, a bucket of water etc in and start mixing it up.
Tragic that it has come to that.
Then again look at the FPV RC controlled videos going around now. FPV RC planes have a decent range. One could put some plastic explosive in one and do a lot of damage.
There are regs in the works that will limit not just FPV but most likely ALL RC vehicles, especially planes.
The terrorists are winning.
Our national stupidity has gone to infinity.... and beyond!
San Fran East, Chickenpooper country. This is what happens to a cow town when Kalefornia think invades. Put in a Berka next time for real effect.
They should have yelled "Klaatu Berada Nikto" at it. Would have saved a lot of time.
Let’s lighten up on these Cops, shall we?
It’s easy to armchair quarterback this from afar, but if you were the law enforcement person responsible for dealing with this I suggest your opinion might be much different.
Oregon is wrapping up a trial of two men right now who are accused of planting a bomb near a bank two years ago that killed 2 police officers, maimed a third and a bank employee. The bomb exploded in the bank after the police had brought it inside to examine it. They didn’t think it was a real explosive device and it detonated while they were trying to pry the lid open.
These days you cannot tell what some maniac has thought up to try and injure people, and “cementing” an object of any kind onto the base of a bridge should trigger a response by law enforcement. This toy could have easily been packed with explosives. Remember the toner cartridges that were found to be full of PETN? How hard would it be to do the same thing with an object like this one?
I’m glad it turned out to be a false alarm. It could easily have been otherwise.
Then I thought of this...
Looks like an old toy, doesn't it?
Oh man...I have nothing to say.
This one’s right up your alley....
This is mild. A few weeks ago I finished a cyclocross race in very muddy conditions. I got back to my car, loaded the bike, and changed my shoes. The shoes that I raced in had a lot of mud accumulated on them, so I hit the pavement with the shoes to knock off much of the mud. Then I got told that I was intimidating people by doing such a violent act. This is in Pansysota. The people here would be absolutely terrorized if they were around a bunch of construction carpenters at work!
Quick, hand me the shotgun I’ll take care of this in a heartbeat!
Allah Ak-bear!
Robo-san 4000?
perhaps that little coffee making robot is on the loose.
