Killeen PD respond to suspicious device
I found this at Bring the heat, Bring the Stupid and the Liberty Zone which link to KCEN and KXXV in Killeen, Texas, outside Fort Hood’s gate;
Killeen PD received a call just after 9 a.m. from a man who said there was something taped to his truck when he left his home in the 1500 block of North Gray St.
He sent police a picture of the device and they were able to identify it as an IED. Police then contacted the EOD on Fort Hood, who also identified it as an IED.
Fort Hood EOD is en route to the scene to assist.
I hated my time at Fort Hood, too, but not as badly as folks who are there now, apparently.

Here we go again. More PTS. Now I won’t be able to buy IEDs either!
+1!
Copycat?
Cell?
Meme?
Nerves?
No explosives were found in the device. Somebody was fucking with someone would be my guess.

Yeah, it looks like an elaborate hoax.
Someone needs to go to the very tippy top of the buddy fuckin’ scumbag list.
Well, if whoever planted the box didn’t use gloves . . . they might have some ‘splainin’ to do.
How many of these duct-taped duds would it take to paralyze a city nowadays? And don’t blame me if somebody does just that now. If I thought of it, so have 1000 other people today.
Those 1000 others include folks who have criminal intent as well…the best way to draw in LEOs is a fake device, followed with a shooting by rifle of one of the responders.
In certain smaller locales something of that nature would deplete the city’s ability to respond to other events almost instantly. None of this stuff is rocket science, is someone has the time to strategize on acquiring 4 airliners to attack buildings it would seem easy enough to strategize on another form of conflict as well.
The police response to the Boston Marathon bomber sighting left many other areas unprotected, no big deal this time because those two murderers were on their own…a dozen people with sinister purpose and you have a far different outcome.
Or even just a common criminal – want to rob a bank? PLant some “IEDs” across town…
There’s a reason it’s called “terrorism”. It’s not just about blowing things up and killing. It’s also causing the populace to be afraid to continue their daily lives until they conform to the way the “terrorists” want.
Prayers to all at Ft Hood.
They need to legislate some news that make the purchase of IED’s illegal. Or at least background checks on them.
*laws, not “news.” Crap, I hate when I mess up a joke. Now it’s not funny…if it was even funny in the first place.
It’s all in the delivery. And I didn’t even get that right. 🙂
