Evanston police were called out to a field near a middle school after a man walking his dog this morning discovered a decapitated body there.

Police have pushed the media back from the area after discovering what appears to be an explosive device near the body, WGN-Ch. 9 reported about 8:40 a.m. Some residents were being evacuated from their homes. The Cook County sheriff's bomb squad was on the scene.

Blackpowder explodes a tad slower than modern gunpowder. We don't know the facts yet, but if it was a blackpowder pipe bomb it may have been powerful enough to rip off his clothes, and his head with them, but not powerful enough to disrupt the torso to any great degree.

Leftwingtards sometimes make the rather remarkable argument that since blackpowder was the only explosive "gunpowder" known at the time of the adoption of the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment should only apply to firearms or other weapons that use blackpowder.

Their thought is that blackpowder was safer ~ yet, there's a guy with his head blown clean off!

So much for liberal myths.

Yes, I think that’s right. Was she pinged to this? I don’t think I have seen her around in ages, but I admit I don’t always pay attention to people’s names, so I may have Freeped with her yesterday for all I know.

” Was she pinged to this? “

First thing I did when I saw that there were ‘eerie similarities’ between OU and this.....

I have the same afflictions. I don't recall seeing a post from PhiKapMom in years. She was one of many who departed in a snit/purge or whatever about 3 years ago. But from before then, I recall her being very active in Oklahoma politics.

Thanks Uncle Ike! I’m a little spacey this morning. As all mornings. Well, and it’s noon, time to get my act together! :)

Well, there you go. I am obviously not up on things. No wonder no one takes me seriously! :)

That would be my guess.....he was kneeling on the ground, putting his bomb together, bent low to examine things, and....boom.

But what was his target? The school? Tennis players?

Yes - the liberal argument that the Constitution is a living document except for the 2nd Amendment. Then, and only then, should the Constitution be kept within its time.

Hypocrisy, thy name is liberal.

Jan Schakowsky’s (D) district, one of the more radical members of Congress. Some folks insist her husband, while in prison, wrote the script for the Obama rise and election.

When the district lines were redrawn in 2000, I went from Henry Hyde’s very conservative district to the radical-chic 9th district without ever moving.

Hmmmm...

It’s been some 6 hours since the ‘discovery’ of the body, and *still* no “Terrorism Not Suspected (pat. pend)” statement from the FBI....

Usually, they’re out with the obligatory statement within seconds...

Terrorism possibly, but some kids just love to hear big booms. Even big kids.

I don't see how an explosion pops a head off like a cork and the body stays intact.

That's exactly what happened with the explosive collar on the pizza guy a few years ago. That one happened in Michigan, I believe.
