Suspicious behavior by Muslims in the US

No, we don't know that. I'm saying "What if they are?"

It's a pretty chilling and very plausible scenario that could happen, easily.

"Easily" huh? You know how to detonate a propane tank with a mobile phone?

Read what I posted above again, I just explained it. But I'll explain it again.

Step 1). Make a Pipe Bomb (there are materials on the internet for this)
Step 2). Rig the phone's vibrator up for a detonator. (you can find this on youtube)
Step 3). Put the Pipe Bomb on one side of the propane tank.
Step 4). Put the shrapnel bag on the other side of the propane tank.
Step 5). Place the propane tank up against a solid wall so that the force of the blast is directed outwards (pipe bomb goes up against the wall).

It's common sense physics. Bomb goes off, detonates the propane tank, and lots of pressure and force is produced. The pressure and force will mostly go through the path of least resistance -- to the one side is a solid wall, and to the other side is air. Most of the pressure and force goes through the air, while some goes through the wall and to the sides.

It's basically a crude version of a claymore mine; it uses similar concepts.

'twould work on Truman Dam and take out the electric grid for the Midwest, kill a bunch of fish, destroy thousands of homes and businesses and kill a bunch of people that way, cause a quake on the fault that is near there, and generally cause havoc. Sounds like a plan.

Dunno if a propane tank bomb would be strong enough to do that much damage to a dam and those are usually at least fenced off or restricted and not open for public access I thought.

If you were to make a bomb out of a propane tank, you're probably doing it because of the pressure/force associated with it, and not pure explosive destructive power that you'd use to bomb a structure with the intent to destroy it or heavily damage it.

You'd use a pressure/force bomb more for shrapnel to kill people with IMO.

Exactly what do you think explosive power is if not "pressure/force"?

I've tipped off the FBI about this post. Expect an early morning visit.

How about pastor Kevin Swanson, who called for the death penalty for homosexuals at the 2015 National Religious Liberties Conference, attended by three Republican presidential candidates?

Not a Real Christian[tm], obviously.

If the Propane Tanks and the Phones are connected in some kind of plot (let's set aside ISIS, Muslims, etc and just assume for a second that some criminal wants to do something heinous, regardless of who or why), what else have they bought that we don't know about?

Considering you're piling hypotheticals on top of hypotheticals, I guess the answer is "pretty much anything you can imagine". They might even have access to nuclear weapons.

If he understands how this stuff works, imagine what damage he could do if we imagine he stole all the parts, imagine he has the motive and ability to use them, and imagine he actually decides to.

That would be a lot of imaginary damage, that's for sure.

Time to imagine some suitable preventative measures. Maybe throw him out of the country or something.

Well, looks like certain people want to shut the thread down by bringing up ridiculous arguments and completely ignoring and/or twisting what was said.

I've never, ever seen a forum that bad for this since MMO-Champion to be honest.

But fine, if you really want to ignore the warning signs, like what happened at Colorado and Boston.... that's fine. We'll have another Colorado and/or another Boston. Maybe that's what it will take to get people to wake up and stop applying "Political Correctness" to every situation, even when it threatens their safety to do so.

By all accounts, the police looked into it, and the FBI have been notified. What more would you like me, or the nation, to do about this warning sign?

To be vigilant? To not just brush it off with the wave of a hand? To stop being reluctant to do so because "Oh my I don't want to offend the Muslims...." etc?

Be afraid. Be very afraid. Panic. Overreact. Abandon your principles. Buy guns. Do all of these things, but mostly, panic.

Going back to post #2, how do you know they were Muslims?

 

[essentialsaltes]

Oh, BTW.

MACON, Missouri (KRCG)- Authorities in Macon, Missouri announced Friday that a bulk purchase of cell phones there was the work of a cell phone trafficking ring.

The Macon Co. Sheriff's Office says that groups typically buy prepaid phones at low prices and sell them for profit elsewhere. The Sheriff's Office says the purchase isn't related to violent crime.

Macon is one of six Missouri cities where police say small groups of men have bought dozens of phones. Jefferson City Police say someone tried to buy 50 phones at Walmart early last weekend.

I haven't been following this thread that closely, so apologies if this is old news.

Whom exactly do you feel is brushing things off in order to not offend Muslims?

That part of Missouri, I'm surprised it wasn't a meth ring. Or maybe heroin, lately.

Ahhhh...no muslims to blame? Guess no more stories...

Dang! Just plain criminals. That is soooooooo disappointing.
