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.

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.

@BrotherChaos The delivery is what has me most confused.

The word is that the majority were hand-delivered.

But now you're talking about one person visiting that many places that fast? Maybe. I don't know all the distances and times involved, but it seems strange to me. Moreso that it wouldn't arise increasing suspicion as it happened.

It would have to be multiple people.

Hand delivered makes this look like tumbler was larping as their opinion of /pol/

I doubt Tumblr is that capable.

kinda the point

But there's lots of people who are.

if soros wasn't included I would suggest it was a security check test.

Find a picture of a package with a postmark

the wording in the article above said it was left in the mailroom so they should have footage of at least one person

I'll make a bet the soros and waters packages were mailed and the others were hand delivered because that would make it able to be done "reasonably" alone granted very little information. It would have been more interesting if they mailed the packages from cnn's mailroom.

There's always the "multiple people" hypothesis.
