A knapsack with wires sticking out of it. Really? More domestic terrorism?
Does anyone besides me find it odd that someone who planted a bomb that they wanted to detonate in a public place at an MLK Day Parade would leave the wires sticking out?

Can you say 'false flag', boys and girls?

1. Did it create terror?
One needs not have an actual attack with casualties to cause terror.

Backpack + wires = very cheap. How much effect did it have. For someone looking to cause terror was it a good low risk ROI%?

3. So what's your theory?
Al Qaeda trying to divert our attention to domestic terrorism? Black Panthers trying to raise money? DHS looking for funding?

That's all I got, and I'm not buying.:shrug:

7. More fear. Generate more fear. More fear equals more money for DHS and
more power for the corporate-controlled police state. More money for more internal security equals more profits for the contractors who are getting filthy rich off of our FEAR and the public's dime.

Nowadays just having a knapsack with wires sticking out of it is good enough. Used to be we needed a good old-fashioned explosion that killed some people to generate that kind of fear. I guess, in a way, it's better the new way.
