Know Your Bombs

Thanks to certain teachers at a high school in Texas, Old Knudsen has found that now everyone and their granny are bomb experts. It's like yon American sniper movie when civvies all went on about how realistic it was .... except it wasn't, even with military advisers. The most real thing in that flick was the plastic baby.

The above picture shows you what a bomb looks like ... if you are Ethan fucking Hunt from Mission Impossible or maybe Jack 'do you know who I am' Bauer from 24. So that you know it's a bomb it is 1) in a case, 2) wires and a digital display screen and 3) the explosives, in this case the explosives are both square and in tubes to avoid confusion, sometimes the packaging may say C-4 if you go for a brand name type.

These bombs can only be defused in the last 5 seconds of the countdown just so you can look cool. If you do manage to defuse them the timer may beep at the end for dramatic effect.

In real life suitcase bombs beep so they can be easily found, moved or defused .... NOT!  

Old school insurgents love analog as digital seems very impersonal and bombs should tick for dramatic effect, what's in the box? I don't know but it's ticking ... oohh drama. Swiss terrorists use cuckoo clocks just to piss people off before they die.
Did you know that egg timers have killed more people than the AK-47? ... Yeah I may have made that up.

Old school bombs can be defused after you fret which wire to cut but then just yank them all out ... simples!

So yeah, that is what real bombs look like. You really were an expert even with no military training at all, yay you.

Then again this is also a bomb, don't the Tallyban know anything? I bet that's Lucozade in yon bottle as if it can give you explosive diarrhea I'm sure it can give you explosives.

Bombs may also have a cell phone as a trigger or may be activated by a garage door remote control. You see people playing Angry Berds on their phones, I see potential terrorists. 

You know what else looks like a bomb? A pressure cooker. If you see any of these getting taken to school then call Homeland security or at least mention it on Twitter. A pressure cooker can cause quite a large explosion with very little explosive.

Has yer little High Schooler taken yer hydrogen peroxide which you need cos yer roots are showing? I suspect the fucker has taken it into school to impress his teachers. Containers full of liquid also looks like a bomb.

Dirty old pipes also look like bombs too. You've never seen Jack Bauer with these because they aren't sexy bombs. They can have ye olde fashioned fuse down the middle or a wire connected to a battery and timer. If you use a current then be careful not to cause any friction or any gas build ups while making them if you like yer fingers. Otherwise gun powder or even match heads and a fuse are yer best bet.

You can always tell who is a bomb making terrorist is, they never laugh at my 'how many fingers am I holding up' jokes  

Did ya hear about the IRA man who blew up a car? He burned his lips on the exhaust ... ha ha ha fuck Paddy's are stoopid .... to be sure.   

During WWII the British Home Guard were taught to make pipe bombs and that tradition has been passed down to Northern Ireland's paramilitaries who mostly just use empty pipes to create a bomb scare cos they are cunts with nothing better to do.

 

Lastly, gamer babe Meg Tunny, she is da bom.


Now you know bombs. 

 

Emasculating The Military

So I've covered that the 2nd Amendment was originally to cover white people having guns in order to quell any slave uprisings. Present day American people seem to think it gives them the right to have whatever and how many guns they want, it's a right like clean water and education is a right.

This is a people, many of whom fought against getting affordable health care as a right because being healthy and not in debt is a dirty socialist thing .... huh? I never understood how anyone could be against having healthcare, maybe because I didn't have it for 10 years.

The second Amendment states, 'A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'   

That is saying you have the right, obviously it only meant white people back then, it would be worded differently if they thought the slaves would end up as free. It also says 'well regulated.' Regulated means control or supervise by means of rules and regulations. Militia means a force to supplement a regular army in an emergency or a military force that engages in rebel or terrorist activities.

Influenced by the English bill of rights of 1689 the British have since changed that law several times and included that weapons would be on condition of the law and the police which means no .... unless yer a farmer or land owner. I think it's well over time for the wording of the 2nd Amendment to get changed. An amendment being a formal or official change made to a law.  The NRA would never let such a thing to happen which more or less amounts to them being very un-American that they can block democracy with their influence.  

Don't worry, this suspicious looking dude will protect you. How can you tell the crazy criminals from people who look like crazy criminals?

People pick and chose what they want to believe and take whatever meaning they want, like religion. I really don't think it meant a teletubby on a power scooter armed to the teeth guarding a military recruiting center, whether they want it or not.
Believe or not there is a difference to those who have served and those currently serving, they'll respect and tolerate you to a point but yer now a civvie.  

When I was serving we didn't let any civvies guard us, our nuts would shrink up in shame if we had. The US military have asked civvies not to guard them, especially after one brave fellow shot the car park in Ohio by accident.

If you want to help defeat terrorism then join the fucking military, otherwise get the fuck out of the way Tinky Winky.
