“I would be pretty sure it was not accidentally left behind.”

Ya’think?

;-)

Dang. . .where did I leave my thermo-nuclea detonator. . .?

the first floor was emptied

So "highly destructive" devices aren't dangerous above the first floor?

[rintense]

killing people at a (MLK) parade fits right in with known Jihadi tactics...

Or quite possibly, a leftist posing as a Tea Partier.

When security guard Richard Jewell found the backpack bomb at the Atlanta Olympics, the FBI and the MSM said Jewell himself was the suspect.

The MSM praised him for being a hero one day and accused him of planting the bomb the very next day, with nothing but a hunch for evidence.

Two T shirts, one for an anti-cancer event in the mid-west, the other for spring break in Florida. Not sure who I’d think those were characteristic of. College age right wing anti-cancer fanatics? Nah.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were one of these T shirts found at the scene...

translation = libs running around with head on fire since bomb discovered in Libville.

I just moved to Spokane which has only 2.1% African Americans and is the only conservative area in Washington State. It just seems odd to me to have this animus bubble up for I do not see a reason for it.

> The community is reeling...

Really?

Reelly.

Actually, Spokane is a more conservative locale, but Washington standards.

The official FBI “request for public assistance” PDF says these two T-shirts were only “some of the clothing” (and who knows what else) in the bag. My eyeballing of that second T-shirt in the photo at about 400% tells me it’s “(something) (something) Theatre School Presents Treasure Island 2009” — not a spring break T-shirt and not the Las Vegas casino.

Sounds like a random collection of old clothes designed to hide the explosive device.

[jiggyboy]

And a pretty unprofessional job of it, in my absolutely uninformed opinion. Unless it’s deliberate misdirection, and even then you’d have to be covering your tracks somewhat, every logo is a clue.

[ponygirl]

That’s my question, too.

Most of the fatalities would have come from the majority in Spokane.

So who are these heroes? (Didn’t watch the video, read the article.)

[massgopguy]

They had to make it look like they had the bomber or the people at the Olympics would have taken their money and gone home. Somebody’s life had to be ruined and it wasn’t going to be an Olympic athletes. Beside, he was already a “Security Guard”.

[upchuck]

The community is reeling after learning a bomb was found in Downtown Spokane.

Really? And what proof is there to support this supposed fact?

I suspect a large percentage of the community either doesn't know about it or could care less.

Relay for Life is a Pro Life event.

It's an American Cancer Society event (note the ACS logo at the top of the shirt). It's not the only "Stevens County" with a Relay for Life (e.g., Minnesota has one); this does seem to me to be the one in Washington State, based on the sponsors listed.

Now reported on local radio news. It is near an area where there are suspected White Supremist groups. Jeez it will never stop.
