Interesting. And soon we will hear the blame from you towards the
Republicans although it is the Dems who use pipe bombs. They have so
much more experience with them.

A suspicious backpack left along a Martin Luther King Day parade route
in Spokane, Wash., held a radio-controlled pipe bomb that could have
sprayed shrapnel at marchers in the parade.
Three parade workers spotted a backpack with visible wires on a bench
at North Washington Street and West Main Avenue in downtown Spokane
about 30 minutes before the parade was scheduled to begin Monday.
Authorities rerouted the parade while officers from the Spokane Police
Department's bomb disposal unit worked on the bomb.
FBI special agent Frank Harrill, the supervisory senior resident agent
in Spokane, told ABC News that the backpack was "a viable device."
"The potential for lethality was clear," Harrill said. The local bomb
squad neutralized the device, he added.
According to an FBI press release, "Subsequent preliminary analysis
revealed the backpack contained a potentially deadly destructive
device, likely capable of inflicting multiple casualties."
