Another naturalized citizen who came over with his family. Really what is amazing/scary is that refugees aren't doing these attacks, it's second gen immigrants who are reasonably economically well off.

I'm honestly really surprised they caught him alive, it seems like every time something like this happens the guy ends up killed in a firefight

From reading the article it seems like this guy was less a terrorist ready to die for the cause and more some dude pissed off about the city forcing his restaurant to close at 10pm after getting numerous complaints from neighbors about late night drunk people.

So bombs made with cellphones:

the idea is that when you call the number it triggers some sort of detonator? What happens if someone calls the number after you've set up the bomb but havent placed it? Are you literally at the whim of random callers? Is there something about flip phones that get less calls? Do texts and notifications trigger the explosions?

These are probably the wrong questions to be asking on the internet in 2016. Please ignore me FBI and friends

Just guessing but I bet they are set to only trigger if they receive a call from a specific number, not just if they receive any call at all. I also bet some idiot somewhere sometime has blown themselves up in exactly the way you're describing, though.

All I care about is that idiot who posted the hoax tumblr page and how far they're going to get their poo poo pushed in by law enforcement.

I hope it is pretty far because that stuff is in really poor taste and not that funny. Person should catch an IRL probate.

hahaha nothing will come of it because they have the "right" political views.

e: fake bomb threats, fake racist threats, are all the rage on college campuses and nothing ever comes of it. charges are filed then dropped.

Someone did a bomb threat against my school not too long ago and he was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats which is a felony and last I heard his life is ruined still. All he wanted to do was get out of an exam.

Sounds like you're projecting to me.

Suicide bombers have been blown up by their cell phone providers before.

Hah I knew it.

The internet is making terrorism groupies a thing? That's pretty hosed up. I have to imagine that impeding an investigation would get some attention from law enforcement.

I'm pretty sure he's making things up or something. If you make a bomb threat in 2016 you're definitely not going to just get off with a 'haha don't do that again you silly goose.'

That Tumblr in particular might be okay, I don't know what was on it exactly. Obstruction of justice or whatever wouldn't really apply there though unless some DA is feeling particularly jumpy.

a fake bomb threat gets you an invite to the white house to show off your "cool clock!"

Except in that case that kid was just 'watch me bring some empty briefcase with wires poking out and have everyone trip out' which is basically what Wozniac did (Woz's was worse though) and he didn't actually threaten anyone with anything.

Call up a school and threaten to bomb it and see what happens to you.

Well dad was a prick but it didn't help that the sheriff waddled in and got all super serious about it that's all I'm saying. Pretty sure no one actually believed it was a bomb which is why the kid wasn't charged with making a bomb threat in the end, and also why they didn't bother to evacuate the school or anything and instead just sent the kid to the office.

All I'm saying is if you think that situation is an example of being allowed to call in bomb threats with no repercussions then lol good luck.

Dunno why it's so hard to say everyone involved was dumb instead of having to defend one side or another like you personally have any stake in it.

because the school staff and police acted appropriately

It made the national news somehow, so no they didn't.

Anyway this is a dumb derail. The point is that if you call in a bomb threat you're not just going to get let off with a warning.
