Denver Bomb Squad Takes Out Toy Robot
An anonymous reader writes "A robot met its end near Coors Field tonight when the Denver Police Department Bomb Squad detonated the 'suspicious object,' bringing to an end the hours-long standoff between police and the approximately eight-inch tall toy. From the article: "'Are you serious?' asked Denver resident Justin Kent, 26, when police stopped him from proceeding down 20th Street. Kent said that he lived just past the closed area, but was told he would have to go around via Park Avenue.'"
The terrorists have won.
Why should they get the credit? It's our idiocy and our tax money that brought us to this state.
Saying "The terrorists have won", is shirking responsibility. This is our fault. We did this.
exactly how many "bombs" have been stopped this way? and exactly how many items get "left" places every day.
sorry but this security theater is getting way over done.. i understand playing devils advocate - but as far as i'm concerned the populous has turned to sheep..
the the bombs blow.. let them crash planes.. i'm still far more likely to die every day because the guy next to me is driving a 2 ton truck and to busy texting to notice he isn't in his lane any more.
people live - people die.. get over it.. if you just go about your life and let them just keep trying.. eventually it won't be worth it to them, and even if they don't stop - it doesn't matter..
there is no amount of things you can do that will stop people from doing what they set them selves out to do.
