I agree, WTF. Do we live in Iraq?

It was a good night for anybody riding the train, the NW leg was closed all night due to electrical malfunction and this shut down part of the south leg at the same time. Just my luck I was using it last night

It sounds like these were not sufficient to damage the tracks but the assholes who placed them should still be convicted as terrorists.

I saw that part but pipebombs on LRT rails isn't much better.

Pretty damned irresponsible media to be throwing around a loaded phrase like "IED". They don't know yet who did it or why. If it turns out to be just a bunch of fucked-in-the-head male teenagers doing something stupid, which is probably the case considering that it's almost summer which is always the favourite season of the irredeemably idiotic here in the Stampede City, are the media dopes going to apologize to the city for trying to incite a terrorist-incident panic?

The biggest joke about this story is the talking head media didn't get wind of this until this afternoon. It happened last night.

From the version in the Sun,

They are worried about the idiot who made the bombs? He/She has my full permission and blessing to blow themselves to hell.
