CNN reporting that a Starbucks in CA has been bombed

[Sydnie]

no official word yet.

on edit - Wolf is saying that they have found some sort of exposive device.

[Deja Q]

1. Right now it's all news about a US journalist kidnapped in Iraq

Maybe in 5 minutes we'll get breaking stories up the ying-yang.

[Sydnie]

3. Maybe they learned their lesson with the mine thing?

waiting til they hear from an official, but they did a quick breaking news thing on the Situation Room.

[Deja Q]

39. Of course not.

They haven't learned their lesson before and it's not profitable anyway.

Besides, it's been a rather long time and BY NOW somebody would have said something official. So maybe they haven't learned a thing.

[Deja Q]

11. Not yet

[bliss_eternal]

2. Please post if you hear anything...

Haven't seen anything yet on this end.

OMG--I'm in CA! :wow:

[medeak]

4. surprised it's not in London

just paid $9.00 bucks for a latte.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

13. LOL.... I've heard that from others as well.

What is it with GB and Starbuck prices? Will there be a replay of the Boston Tea Party for the caffeine junkies there?

If I lived there, I'd be the guy in warpaint!

[medeak]

25. It's the failing dollar

compared to pound

[FreedomAngel82]

38. Quite expensive

Do what I do and buy it from the store. More there and you can have one whenever you want without paying nine bucks each time. :D

[tuvor]

5. And with that, there'll be no other news for the day. n/t

[Sydnie]

12. no, they broke in with the head line and then continued on covering

regular shit. Very bizzare.

Tivo'd back - It's in San Francisco. Explosive device has been found in a Starbucks. Starbucks on Van Nes (?) Ave. Police recieved a call about a device found in the restroom. It looked like a pipe bomb and the police are saying it was an explosive device. Two hours ago it was removed and detonated outside. Police on the scene.

There are no other details so far.

[Carni]

30. San Francisco? Starbucks?

Probably some whacko repuke making a statement against leftist latte drinkers.

I am sure however that stories of dark skinned middle eastern men lurking about will abound on faux news--

[emdee]

33. Probably due to O'Reilly's statements against SF. n/t

n/t

[Carni]

36. Could be!

The mind of a faux whacko knows no bounds!

[Sydnie]

43. would be nice to remind him of what he said, wouldn't it? n/t

[stepnw1f]

6. What Timing... Impeccable

Let's see... the bomber was the... same guy that sent the anthrax.

[mikelewis]

26. No, it's a new character this time....

Polls clearly show that Americans are tired of the same ole super villians. They're now ready for a new threat, something with a bit more pizzaz. I'm thinking a deranged homosexual cell (liberal, of course) has finally grown tired of pretending to believe in the Constitution and have swore a blood-oath to each other to destroy America. In fact there's a huge network right in our own neighborhoods. They could be any, anywhere at anytime. The homo-terrorists wants your children to watch SpongeBob and doesn't want you to take showers with them. They are evil, EVIL!!!!

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. Bomb found in a Starbucks bathroom

It did not go off and the situation is under control.

Probably a freeper who hates liberals for our freedams and lattes.

[Carni]

32. GMTA--exactly what first popped into my mind

When I heard what city it happened in!

[bpilgrim]

8. QUICK! check cheney and bush for latent explosive powder on their mitts

more...

peace

[sproutster]

9. Yet another threat that voiding the Constitution didn't foil...

F' the machine.

[maxsolomon]

10. all our paranoia has been vindicated!

ITS ISLAMIC TERRORISM!

cower in the corner & whimper, amurka!

[Sydnie]

14. Making caffine junkies safer all over 'merika.

:rofl:

[malaise]

21. Remember there was a terra tape last week

Non stop fear while they seize power.

[Carni]

34. Has Halliburton recently entered the coffee market?

Just wondering...

[the_spectator]

15. Well I certainly hope

it was only a "tall" bomb, rather than a grande or a venti.

[medeak]

29. LOL n/t

[Tom Joad]

16. Police defuse bomb. San Francisco Starbucks. No evidence this is related

to any organized group of any kind.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/baycitynews/archive/2006/01/09/bomb09.DTL

A San Francisco Starbucks is closed this afternoon after police defused a bomb placed in the bathroom.

Police received a call reporting a suspicious package at the coffee house, located at 1401 Van Ness Ave., at 1:15 p.m. The police explosives ordinance unit defused an improvised explosive device, or IED, around 2 p.m., Sgt. Neville Gittens said.

Gittens said he could not comment on the size or type of device found or on its potential explosive capacity. A police investigation is ongoing.

[slackmaster]

18. Kudos to sfgate.com for using the right verb

Police defused the bomb. They didn't "diffuse" it as the San Jose Mercury News said.

[rumpel]

19. Thanks to the NSA eavesdropping another disaster averted.

[Shine]

22. Jeez, I was in a SF Starbucks just yesterday, only on the corner

of Bush and Grant...right down the street. Yikes! :scared:

[arcane1]

23. ok, NOW I'm scared!

2 Starbucks' on the same street, yikes!!! :scared:

[Shine]

28. they're all over the effing place

shhhh...I think they're breeding.

;)

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. OK. So far we have , Cheney went to hospital, Ca. Starbucks bombing.

Let's keep track of all the things they throw out to take attention away from their scandal.:eyes:

[Sydnie]

27. see post 21 above n/t

[carolinalady]

45. wasn't the justice dept. evacuated this am?

:shrug:

[troubleinwinter]

20. Several years ago, it was pretty popular for some of the teens

around here to put pipe bombs in the mail boxes on our rural street. One went off. It was not covered on CNN/FAUX/MSNBC 24/7. Our local paper mentioned it.

[Carni]

24. SHIT there goes my stock gains

Sorry to sound like a repuke... but it was the ONLY stock that I didn't lose my ass on thanks to Herr Bush--

Assholes! An espresso machine probably blew up but they'll hype it as *terra*

Forgive this rant but this is highly annoying... on a less selfish note that I hope no one was injured or killed.

[Warren DeMontague]

31. I was going to say something about the bomb costing five times as much

as a normal bomb..

but I'll hold my tongue.

Weird.

[Ksec]

35. Starbucks?

WTF?

[Poll_Blind]

40. Likely anti-corporate. Homegrown, likely grew up in a middle or...

...above-middle-class household. Al Qaeda don't bomb Starbucks. Al Qaeda don't bomb federal buildings. Americans do that all by themselves.

PB

[FreedomAngel82]

37. Oh wow

Was anybody hurt?

[Sydnie]

42. no one was hurt

The removed it and detonated it.

[NV Whino]

41. Bombing Starbucks isn't a terrorist action

It's just a statement about the quality of coffee.

:hide:

[peekaloo]

44. a barista terrorista?

[NV Whino]

46. Juan Valdez?

[peekaloo]

47. that damned squinty eyed burro that follows him around.

:o

[NV Whino]

50. Gotta be true

I've always wondered what those burros carry in their panniers.

[Warren DeMontague]

48. It's not a "Bomb", anymore.. okay? It's an "Improvised Explosive Device"

or "I.E.D." for short (not to be confused with the I.U.D., soon to also be classified as a concealed murder weapon once Alito is confirmed to the Supreme Court)

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/13586722.htm

Got it? "Bomb" implies homegrown cranks, loonies, idiots, inexplicably well-armed miscreant teens. "IED" is War on Terror, baby. It's Iraq. It's scary bearded men in turbans that only Dubya's manly brush cutting skills can save us from.

Get with the program!

[txindy]

49. LOL! "manly brush cutting skills"

:rofl:

:rofl:

[Sydnie]

53. ROFLMAOPIMP!!!

Best. Answer. Ever.

[LSK]

51. in SF? Anyone know what Bill O'Reilly is doing today?

Wasnt he inviting someone to blow up SF?

:evilgrin:

[AtomicKitten]

52. This particular Starbuck's is on Bush Street in SF,

a street I refuse to drive on because that's just the kind of sassy person I am.

The explosive device was found and defused in the bathroom. The apartment building on top of the Starbuck's was evacuated. However, city officials say they don't think it's political.

Bush Street? Please. That's some statement whether the perpetrator intended it or not.

[radio4progressives]

54. Never Mind ... It's just another False Flag Op...

nothing to report here...

[Ian David]

55. Update: Police release photos of "Person of Interest"

56. They found it before it went off or after?
