Occupy Maine shaken by bomb blast

[devilgrrl]

Around 4 a.m. Sunday morning, a bottle of Gatorade containing an explosive chemical concoction was hurled into Occupy Maine’s home base in Portland’s Lincoln Park — causing a small but dangerous explosion. No one was injured, and the Portland police are actively investigating the incident.

According to the Portland Press Herald:

Portland police Sgt. Glen McGary said the bomb was thrown into the camp’s kitchen, a tarped area where food is cooked and served. Protest organizers said the explosion lifted a large table about a foot off the ground.

“There was no fire . . . We had a good 20 feet of thick smoke rolling out from under the table,” Wilburn said. They could see the “G” on the 24-ounce bottle and its orange cap, as well as bits of silver metal, she said.

She and a friend who ran over to look at it breathed in fumes that smelled like ammonia, she said.

4. Local police need to be reviewing any available business CCTV images

red light cameras, etc. Someone knows something. The idiot goober will brag to someone about it in a bar, internet posting...If this happened to a gun toting teabagging rally, the FBI would have flown in in Cobra helicopters and FOX news would have 24-7 coverage of the terrorist attacks against patriotic Tea Party members.

2. Investigators suspect a juvenile prank, taken too far:

Acting Police Chief Michael Sauschuck said today that detectives don’t necessarily believe Occupy Maine was the sole target because another device was set off elsewhere that night. He described the device as the type often associated with teenage pranks. But he said police are taking it seriously because someone could’ve been hurt.

5. Not everyone reads DU at the same time or even all day. I'll K&R similar posts in hopes

that everyone who might be interested in that particular subject, has a chance to read it.

Edit: Especially this as it's not going to be on the MSM.
