Right wing terrorist attempt to bomb Martin Luther King Parade
   
'Domestic Terror': Bomb Found in Backpack Ahead of Spokane MLK Parade
By: Emily Rauhala

The F.B.I. says the device could have caused "multiple casualties." Thankfully, it was found — and diffused — before the march got underway.

In what feels like a callous affront to King's legacy of non-violence, an improvised bomb was placed along the Martin Luther King Day parade route in downtown Spokane, Washington on Monday.

The suspicious backpack, which contained an improvised explosive device (IED) and two t-shirts, was found less than an hour before the festivities began. The march was re-routed and the bomb diffused.

Given the timing and the placement of the bomb, the F.B.I. believes the motive was political: “We're certainly approaching it as a potential domestic terrorism event at this point,” said spokesman.“Whether the motive was racial or an individual was being targeted, it's too soon to say.

1. See, that kind of baseless accusation is as bad as they are.
   
Where, exactly, does the right wing crap come in? We have our own terrorist orgs and rabid bigots, why must we always assume and decry it is "them", especially when it is, as yet, completely baseless?

This is part of the problem, both "sides" engage in this holier-than-thou, instant finger pointing crap.

2. It doesn't say it WASN'T right wing, does it?
   

That is all the proof needed by a DUmmie.

5. Then you are uninformed.
   
While there aren't as many, there are some very violent extremist left groups out there in this country. And yes they have used bombs and arson.

7. Uh huh.
   
If they're bombing Martin Luther King parades, then they're not "left-wing"

Never heard of a "false flag" operation? The left is famous for them.

Well, when it explodes it diffuses itself to the surrounding area...

Maybe your brain is so small that you forgot Bill Ayers??
You're right primitive. They just shoot people and fly a plane into the I.R.S. building. No bombs. Unless you talk about the throwbacks. The lefties love themselves some throwbacks and the throwbacks love to bomb and blow themselves up. 7th century thinking and all that. :wink:

21. So not leftists, or rightists, but moderate extremists?
   
Let's be blunt: this was most likely the act of a white supremacist, and white supremacy--as racism in general--is the domain of the right wing.

I was too....until the Tucson shooting.  I have always met force with equal or more force.  The Communist Democrat Party's propaganda wing changed that for me. Until the end of my days. I will jump on the CDP and the hard left with any and all acquisitions, repeat them, embellish them, and then if proven wrong never retreat or apologize. 

I now play by their rules. I take Chairman Obama's rule of bringing a gun if the CDP brings a knife.

This seems a little out of place in Spokane. There really isn't much of a Black population in Eastern WA. More Islamic population than Black. There are still a few white supremacists, but they keep a real low profile and bombing MLK parade would certainly get the FBI breathin' down their necks. Something they have avoided since the days of Richard Butler.

If I were to chance a guess, my money would be on some stupid little high schooler wantin' to make a name for him/them selves. Or givin' the complete dud the left had over the Ariz shooting, it wouldn't surprise me if it's a false flag. Not many lefties in this neck 'o the woods though, so best to wait for the Feds to run it down.

ETA:

Called one of my buds down at the sheriff's department and it looks like you can rule out some nutjob high schooler! He said the sophistication of the device is such that it has to be someone with a great deal of knowledge in explosives! So much so, that white supremacists are gettin' lower on the list as the intricate device is such that they haven't seen anything like it before! It's closer to the IEDs the military deals with!

They are offering a $20,000 reward for info. They are definitely calling it a domestic terrorist event! Anyone keepin' track of Ayres or Dorn lately?

My buddy said he will keep in touch if they give him any new info.

Dear Doug's Stupid Ex Wife,

Both groups are environmental radicalists who seek to change society so that everyone serves the environment. That would be a form of collectivism. The left stresses collectivism above individualism in various forms (environmentalism, communism, fascism, racism and several other isms).

I mean--why wouldn't they? MLK Day is American enough for them to target, and MLK himself was pretty much against nearly everything they're for. They're big on urinating on everyone else's important days/parades, too. And Al's inside dope from the sheriff further suggests NON-domestic terrorism (any jihadist action, wherever it originates, is by definition and act of international terrorism, as jihadism is a worldwide war movement).
