I’ll keep this in mind if I’m ever a witness. Smile pretty and do the Rose Bowl wave…
You have my attention.
Good grief. Now it’s pipe bombs. What next?
Probably best not to ask, Bonnie.
You know there are people out there who are perfectly comfortable with explosives right?
Why, yes, Doug – we do. (Nudging drowsy reporter to our left: “Did you know there are people out there who know how to make bombs?” Drowsy Scribbler: “Sure.”) We are aware, yes.
Do they think the bomb was set to damage those cars or did it go off accidentally?
No way for us to say, Nicky, as we didn’t get a look at the device. We’re sure the pros are looking at the detonator for some clue as to intent/builder.
