Goddamnit, how obtuse do you people have to be?

A bomb is either stationary or dropped. A missile is a powered explosive device that flies, under power, from one place to another (it does not solely fall).

You know what the fuck I mean. No normal English speaking human would call a missile a bomb. If English is not your primary language, we’ll, tough shit. We’re speaking English now and adhering to customs of English communication. A bomb is placed or dropped. A missile flies.

Full stop.

I don't use ANFO, I dont think I ever had. Mostly RDX based explosives. The biggest mistake they made though was when their amateur hour bomb tech "visually estimated," the NEW instead of doing some basic as algebra.

A missile is a powered bomb?

Which is a missile

Not a bomb

ANFO and black powder fireworks are NOT the same thing.

SAMs are a thing.

So, yes, as opposed the specific example you created, and others.

The LAPD are so laughably incompetent.

“Let’s detonate explosives in a sealed container in the middle of the residential neighborhood.”

God I hope not. These fuckwits were specifically trained on what to do and what not to do and presumably the outcome doing it wrong.

Maybe they should fix the houses first and argue about the bill after.

Defunding ty

Not to mention each forework is in its own compartmentalized container. Taking far longer for them all to go off than if they were all ‘disassembled’ and put into a singular container. And then one that could partially contain the blast until everything was lit. Not all explosives are the same, they have different expansion and mechanisms of which to go off

Not the US government. That was done by local PD not federal officials

But they did drop bombs, on purpose.

Now that's a mic drop lmao

He's historys greatest monster!

Especially since the whole "dragging their feet" thing was complete BS.

Apparently the city and various insurance companies are still arguing about who should pay for repairs, so most of the houses still haven't been fixed.

Or hosed them all down in the driveway. But no, they wanted a big spectacle to show everyone how great they are and boy they got one.

Love the peppy music running in the background

I quote OP: “Remember the time the US government shot a missile at a residential block?”

That is pure misinformation. Why am I the bad guy

Or simplified, they turned their explosion containment vessel into a giant pipe bomb, magnifying the damage.

You're either the most poorly programmed bot or a complete fucking stooge. I hope for your sake it's the first.

They used standard police weighing procedures, the entire container (the bomb containing vehicle) was included as part of the weight of the contraband.

Sooo, qualified immunity?

The guy said 32,000 lbs of fireworks, not 5,000.

> It's not obvious they didn't transport it because they thought it was unsafe to do so. The more obvious explanation is that they thought it'd be harmless, which is why they also endangered themselves along with everyone else.

Not that any of the LAPD's lies make sense, but "it was unsafe to transport" was the reason they gave for blowing it up in the neighborhood.

Of course it's somehow "unsafe to transport" while being perfectly safe for an unarmored officer to toss it into the truck bare handed.
