    Big town excitment

    I came home last night---winding down for vacation next week at the cottage.

    As you will see in the attached link this is a very rural area.

    I am continually confronted with people, when they find out where I work, who react to the supposed danger---something I am not unaware of but also don't worry about. Even in the Bronx I have no fear---but I do have situational awareness.

    Now--back to home---for months we have had an escalating series of bombings---both in size and frequency. This has been in a relatively small area and increasingly people have become concerned. This isn't the Bronx--and not something we deal with!

    Well---today the FBI and PA State Police have moved in---in a big way. They have been setting off controlled blasts since this morning. I just went past there on the way back from the bank and they are still at it--exactly as you see in the video.

    The building where all the activity is centered is a strange looking building and although I go past there at least twice a week I seldom see any activity--although I can tell that there is some because things get moved around.

    The building is supposed to be some kind of small chemical plant---in a residential area---but I have no idea what it is the guy was allegedly making. I guess we are going to find out!

    Another link.

    Seams as if they are everywhere. I think the Ariyan symbol should provide a clue to his thoughts and plans.

    Very interesting, Dave. If not for the previous explosions, I'd bet meth lab. But, that wouldn't explain what has been going on previously. Keep us informed, Dave.

    This guy was having a dispute with the zoning board over their refusal to allow an exception for his "plant"---the Township wanted him out of there.

    Based on these drawings drugs has to have played a part as well.

    So, what was exploding?

    Oops! Never mind - I found your link.

    Having been an ADA for three years, nothing in the realm of human lunacy, depravity and downright meanest surprises me. Note the events in Annapolis yesterday and dozens of such events as bad or worse. Looks like your community dodged a bullet this time, Dave.
