hardest component to acquire would be a blasting cap or commercial detonator
but if your main charge is black powder you can improvise one using easily available components.
we're talking hobby shop stuff.
actually you could probably cobble something together using steel wool
If you have any practical experience in something like thermodynamics or chemistry and can't figure something like this out...you should get a refund on your education. It's not hard.
30 years ago, high school students did this stuff all the time.
high order explosives tend to require actual detonators. while it would be possible for an amateur chemist to concoct something that could initiate something like that, it would be very, very dangerous. Fulminate group chems are dangerous as hell.
I meant, just make a pipe bomb that goes boom. Not a terribly good one.
It's why the people who work in IED factories tend not to have all their fingers.
This one is just that bad.
Yeah this one was obviously not a serious attempt.
It's meant to look scary.
Or was an attempt by someone who clearly didn't understand explosives.
Which, for example, rules out the 3%ers or minutemen immediately.
Or people in the army
Or...
Let's just say, it's not the people CNN has been saying would try something like this over the past couple years (before Trump even). They actually know what they'd be doing.
So if in a couple weeks the FBI says it was someone like that. We know something is wrong.
I hope it doesn't take that long. The media will get their preferred narrative straight by tomorrow morning and it'll be nothing but claims of right wing violence until the election. It's the counter to the "Jobs not Mobs" slogan.
Unfortunately, I think it just might.
I got a feeling what really is going to happen is this will be used to further censor social media and attack right-leaning outlets.
Even before we know what is going on.
OMFG
I called it!
They are not even TRYING. IT's not an honest mistake.
It's a bluff
The powder is harmless. It's not someone messing up, it's someone who is not TRYING to harm anyone.
This is for effect.
And it's probably a Democrat sending those who wants to give Dems a platform to score victim points, because it will just be buried post election.
I wouldn't jump anywhere close to that conclusion yet.
We just don't know who's behind it.
It's not a conclusion - it's a bet
Only that the bombs are rather incompetently made.
Ok. Fine, you can make bets.
Yes, and I will bet all my memes on this!
MUHAHAHAHAAH!
We shall see. I fully expect the secret service and FBI are already all over this.
Yes, as long as it's convenient, I'm sure.
Then, it gets memory holed, like Paddock.
No, you're talking about a threat to several major political figures.
If it's something that's convenient for the Democrat narrative, we can't keep it out of the news cycle, like that Hogg sperg.
