    Or semi-explosion, since the attempt wasn't 100% complete.

    So we've got terrorism in Paris with the cartoon publisher and possible homegrown terrorism here. Everyone just seems to want to be a complete prick today.

    It looks more like a paper bag full of dog poo with a firecracker in it. For scale look at the electrical box on the upper left side.

    Glad to know everyone's shorts are in a twist over a non-event, meanwhile there are protestors out there calling for the death of cops. On to more important news, have they figured out who left threatening messages on Al Sharpton's cell phone?

    It was shown in a different angle of the photo what looked like an electrical box is really the end of a 1" X 4" board AND the explosion was against a beauty shop wall, not the NAACP who's offices were on the opposite side of the building.

    CNN has already apologized for using a picture in its report, not of the office, but of some other explosion site on 'accident'.

    They didn't come right out and admit they were trying to make it look worse than what really happened, but we know you gotta keep the blacks riled up for those votes.

    Or maybe they honestly got a picture wrong, unless of course you can prove it's all a hoax.

    It's been a bad several weeks for the left-wing media. They need something to refocus on the narrative that whites are the villains in society and minorities are their oppressed victims.

    "NAACP OFFICE BOMBED!" is just to get the narrative out there and (*)(*)(*)(*) off some of their base. When the facts come out later that show it's complete bull(*)(*)(*)(*), the base is already agitated and ready to go March, riot, etc.

    "Balding Man Bombs Barber Shop," hmmmmm.

    This was surely a legitimate protest of hair disparity in the US. The "very hairy" have been taking far too much of the nation's hair since 1981. Before then, hair was reasonably distributed among all quintiles. The rise of "hair bands" in the Reagan 80s, which was reflective of broader GOP "hair policy," must be the cause.

    No idea why CNN spun this legitimate hair protest story as an attack on the NAACP. Is Rogaine a heavy advertiser on CNN? Food for thought.

    And you'll hop off your high horse if they don't, correct?

    I think the point was that the NAACP wasn't actually bombed. This was like lighting a match too close to a fire hazard. It might be a simple prank to draw someone's attention.

    Hence why I said "semi-explosion" in the OP.

    A *WHITE* pickup truck? I think it's fairly obvious this was racially motivated...

    But the NAACP office was not bombed or anything. Thread title is not factual.

    But I never said it was bombed or even used the word "bombed" to describe what happened. I only said semi-explosion because what was supposed to happen clearly didn't work.

    How exactly do you know that their intention was to blow up the building? It could be someone who got a bad haircut of a disgruntled former employee set off an M-80 firecracker in a bag of dog poop just to show their displeasure with the Barber Shop. Why would they place it in an alley alongside of the barber shop if the NAACP was the target?

    Can you prove the "semi explosion" was anything more than a prank or vandalism due to the fact it was on the opposite side of the building from the NAACP's offices?
