Yes, they probably will. And then one of two things will happen:

1.) They turn out to be complete BS, and the story will be memory holed.
2.) They are actual IEDs in which case we will be hearing about the "right's violent rhetoric" until the election.

They are not actual IEDs. There's no power source.

Okay, then it's going to be memory holed. That, or they will start talking about "intimidation".

What Atkins said.

You can build better bombs with 10 minutes of searching Google or a trip to the library.

Then, the democrats will predictable take the podium and talk about how brave they are and how they will stand up to political intimidation (while, at the same time completely disregarding that they are the ones who started it).

Heck, the bombs in the Anarchist Cookbook are better than these. And the guy who wrote that was making up half of it.

But you are right about one thing. The perception is what matters.

And that perception will be manipulated.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device>
`An IED has five components: a switch (activator), an initiator (fuse), container (body), charge (explosive), and a power source (battery).`

scratch that less than a minute. Wikipedia tells you how to do it better.

Well, I am not going to try and show off bomb making skills on Discord.

The power source is completely absent, and from what I know the initiator is fake.

I do'nt want to shell out shekels for a lawyer again.

It's not a blasting cap and it's not a military detonator.

I'm going to have to disagree there.

Not everyone would have access to that kind of thing and they might have intended to just spark it somehow.

no

they would have at least tried it out

That doesn't work for high explosive, and to create a spark for low order explosive (like black powder) you need significant voltage.

And there's no source for that.

and if it's so bad that it would have never gone off, they didn't intend to

because then their tests would have shown that it cannot ever work like that

Yeah, the lack of a good source is the odd part.

Like you can take C4 and light it with a lighter. It'll smoulder.

Clearly didn't know what they were doing and clearly never tested it.

Making honest mistakes is one thing, not really caring about it exploding another.

Do we know the choice of explosive?

I don't think so.

Probably play doh

the x-ray shows some sort of lumpy filling.

I'll pretend it's just weed

I would guess they took material from fireworks.

Even black powder would be uniform.

So black powder.

Poorly packed and not raw.

<https://i.imgur.com/R1gbSeg.jpg> probably this

Yeah, fireworks black powder. They didn't buy the can from the store, they pillaged it out of something else and didn't bother crushing it completely.

I think the explosive devices are a false flag attack by someone who wants to attack the alt right strawman. The reason I think that way is the targets ea none are actually running for a political position and second is the timing before an election.

It would be interesting to know method of delivery but right now I just think it is one person.
