They blew it up to be safe...

I've got to make sure my kids keep track of their Hanukkah presents. The light sabers I got them make noise, and sound like, um, real light sabers.

Someone might call the police about a rampaging Jedi running amok in local playgrounds. . .

This is probably more ridiculous than the London Metropolitan Police HP sauce terror incident.

Thank God the professionals are on the job. lol

It's strange, but I'm not calling it ridiculous. I'll let experienced guys from a bomb squad judge how ridiculous this is. Apparently, they thought the toy could have been a bomb. I bet those guys generally have some great stories to tell.

We need a "face palm" smilie.

Fer real? What genius even called it in?

"Hello, 911, what's your emergency?"
"AAAAAAHHHHHH..... there's a TOY ROBOT!"

It seemed according to the link that several people called it in.

-Blast, weeping for the future...unless he gets to be the one blowing stuff up

That is hilarious! I take it things were a little slow on that shift.

Instead of blowing it up, they should have shot at its feet and made it dance.

While this sounds pretty funny, it also seems somewhat suspicious. With the details that are available, it seems that DPD probably responded to this incident appropriately. Why in the heck would someone glue/cement a toy robot to a bridge support?

If anyone thinks that there aren't people in this country building explosive devices with intent to do harm to innocent civilians, they are mistaken.

IEDs have been popping up across the country, luckily they have been unsuccessful in producing functioning IEDs or setting them off prior to them being discovered and rendered safe. It is just a matter of time before some dirt bag gets it right.

I would be very surprised if we don't hear that Mr. Jakubec is linked to some of the IEDs that have been found in the southwest US.

For those unaware of who Mr. Jakubec is: Mr George Djura Jakubec's House is getting a controlled burn

Looks like Blast will miss another . .
