Another bomb threat: man claims to have bomb at a Hooters in LA, LAPD shuts down Hollywood Boulevard - Polidicks

[url]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/18/hooters-bomb-threat_n_3113613.html[/url] [quote=Huffington Post]One man is in custody after allegedly joking about having a bomb in his lunch pail. He made the claim, which police could treat as a false bomb threat, in a Hooters restaurant in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, Calif. "He said himself that it was just a joke," explained LAPD media relations police officer Christopher No to The Huffington Post. But just to be on the safe side, LAPD's bomb squad evacuated the restaurant and surrounding businesses to make sure there was no explosive device inside the man's pail. An initial call to authorities was made at 4:45 p.m. PST, reports The Hollywood Reporter. By around 6:30 p.m. PST, HuffPost confirmed that the bomb squad was finishing up their investigation at the restaurant.[/quote]

He probably wanted as many assholes in LA to get stuck in traffic as possible. Also I already think of LA as Louisiana.

Like someone said in the other thread, if someone is going to detonate a bomb somewhere, they're not going to be calling in threats.

Really twitter is a source now

What a crazy fucking week this has been.

[QUOTE=Computrix;40332737]What a crazy fucking week this has been.[/QUOTE] ...no? Media jumped on the bandwagon after the boston bombing and since then has made every fucking "bombing" top priority on their news list. Bomb threats happen all the time.

I was driving past there while I was on vacation two days ago, makes you think

[QUOTE=redBadger;40332584]Like someone said in the other thread, if someone is going to detonate a bomb somewhere, they're not going to be calling in threats.[/QUOTE] The IRA used to do it all the time See: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Manchester_bombing#Discovery[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Docklands_bombing#The_bombing[/url]

[QUOTE=redBadger;40332584]Like someone said in the other thread, if someone is going to detonate a bomb somewhere, they're not going to be calling in threats.[/QUOTE] Someone might detonate a bomb to spread a message without necessarily wanting to hurt anyone. So you call it in so they evacuate the area, [I]then[/I] detonate your bomb. (before they can get to it themselves)
