Wow. Be interesting to see the culprit, and what they used for explosives. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile probably something simple and low grade.. Didnt mention fatality in the article.. Black powder and rocket ignitor? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile my guess would be something like that .. Using the switch and the existing battery as the igniter.. Or even possibly substituting a small 9v in place of it |

I don't often agree with you.. But I'm afraid you're correct 
These are the kinds of things that we are to suspect with our open border policy

These are the kinds of things that we are to suspect with our open border policy If it was terrorists related, you could be sure that there would have been a fatality. With the volume of one of those flashlights, you can pack a lot of explosives in there. I wouldn't expect them to use something weak enough to allow the person holding the bomb to survive.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Exactly. These guys were very inexperienced. I'm not anything special and even I could ensure death or very serious injury if I were going to make a similar device. |

Might also be some sick domestic terrorist fuck who came up with a "cool" idea for a bomb and wanted to try it out. |

I've only been through Glendale a couple times. I've always suspected the place was rife with IEDs. This gives me an excuse to drive tactically in CONUS, though, right?  Can I be tail-gunner? I got shotgun! 
Fuck! Beat by a few minutes! |

Personally I drive right down the middle, bump anything in my way, and shoot anything that comes up behind me too fast or close. The power rear window in Toyotas is particularly helpful for this. |

The AZ Repugnant had the type wrong, calling it a 9V flashlight, instead of the 6V that they were. A lot of volume inside one of these for an IED, but apparently, either someone got their mix-fu wrong or they were intentional dry runs. The paper also stated that the devices could have been deadlier, but resulted in only minor injuries leading to either conclusion.
Regardless, unless they got something tell-tale off the devices, I am afraid that we have not heard the last of the dickhead behind these. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile You might be underestimating how stupid these guys are. I mean just try to imagine how stupid you would have to be to convert to Islam and then start hating America all of a sudden. |

It's not Muslims or Islamists that hate America. It's the extremist who take the word of the Koran and turn it into a different interpretation. They think they are doing Allahs bidding. The regular practicing Muslims/Islamists are just fine with America(ns) |

I said "how stupid you would have to be to convert to Islam and then start hating America all of a sudden." It's one sentence, I didn't say your stupid to be Islamic. I do need to mention though that Islam produces more terrorists than any other religion, that is a fact. People have shot at me to please Allah. |

Hopefully they're just totally inept rather than just doing a dry(ish) run. My guess is kids thinking it's a funny joke or a totally inept disgruntled individual.. There's enough info out there on the net that if you really wanted to make something go bang you could figure it out pretty quickly. There's also enough open land in AZ to "test" a device without anyone noticing to ensure success if you had intentions of trying to murder people. Hopefully since the bombs didn't operate as intended investigators will be able to find enough pieces and possibly some fingerprints to get this idiot locked up for a long time. Any word on the injuries the victims sustained? All I got from the article was "no serious injuries"... |
