A big Bang-or
Mar. 12th, 2009 09:46 amHuh,
So there was this neo-nazi millionaire in Belfast, Maine. He was building a dirty bomb to set off at Obama's inauguration. And when I say, building a dirty bomb, he apparently had a fair amount of actual radioactive materials (uranium and thorium). Not enough to actually irradiate the Washington Mall, but the psychosomatic shock would probably jam hospitals with thousands of terrified bystanders convinced they'd been radioactively poisoned. Oh, and any bomb detonated in a jam-packed area like that is going to be pretty lethal.
So yeah, this guy is working on it. The only reason we know he was working on it was because his wife shot him. Oh, the other reason we know about it is because of some leaked documents and the journalistic integrity of the Bangor Daily News.
You can read more about it here.
Cripes. That chimp story was running 24/7 for a week, but I didn't hear about this until just now? Nice.
The article states that the wife hasn't been charged yet. Frankly, if her husband was building a dirty bomb, I'd give her a Medal of Freedom and call it even.
