In light of everything that happened this week
As a public service to law enforcement and homeland security,
these devices (pictured below), which a brazenly placed around major cities,
are NOT bombs. Do not panic if you see one of these in your city.

when you dont know what something is and its placed on a major bridge,, god forbid law enforcement tries to protect you.

I hope those two hippies get locked up. Their smug childish attitude during the interview shows they don't give a fvck. Maybe when Bubba is splitting them open in prison, they値l appreciate the severity of their actions.

They won't do one minute. No intent. The criminal case is dead.

Yep.

talk about one city's ultimate meltdown

Exactly! I don't know what the hell the cops were thinking even arresting them... this wasn't some "bomb hoax" or anything, it was an advertising campaign ordered and paid for by a major corporation. The fact is, the cops had egg on their faces from not being able to tell an obvious neon sign from a bomb, and needed to take it out on someboby.

Are you kidding? They didn't do anything wrong. See my post above.

They will write a book and become rich. :P

One of these "devices" was planted a few blocks from my house. There was no way to tell what they where in the day light. They did not know if they where a set up to a final bomb with a bunch of dummys. Only after did they know what they where when the company informed them. I saw one of them detonated and In the day light there was no way to tell what they where. You all act like the cops knew what the "things" where before, they didn't ::) All they knew was there was several "devices" planted on major public transportation routes.
Under the new terror laws they can be prosecuted for making the city shut down. You can get in trouble for a hoax also.
The company is already going to pay the 700 grand it took to shut down the city. No one knew wtf they packages where, hence them shutting shit down to be safe.

wtf happened
-
gureilla marketing by adult swim...they planted light-brite type devices all over major cities featuring the moonites from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
course, they didnt tell anyone they were doing this and the dumbass mick cops in boston freaked out and called in the bomb squad

Again, I saw one of these "things" be detonated, if you did not know what it was you would call the bomb squad also. In the day they just looked like weird devices.The 911 hijackers flew out of logan, not the smartest place to plant suspicious packages on public transit routes ::)
-
Are you kidding? They didn't do anything wrong. See my post above.
No, I'm not kidding. I hope they face time. Not 20 years or anything like that, but enough to wipe that little shit eating grin off their face. I don't know the legal aspects of it, nor do I really care. I just know they should have been a lot more professional and compassionate about what their actions did to the city. Did you see the interview of them? When they said they would only take questions about their hair? The one reporter asked him if he thinks they値l cut it off in prison, hahaha. That straightened his little punk ass out for a few seconds.
Furthermore, the cops and feds did their job, protecting the people. Nothing wrong with that; in fact, I commend them for it. What if those happened to be real dirty bombs, and nothing was done about it. The same people criticizing the cops and government now, would be the first ones to blame them for their failure to neutralize the bombs.

There are new anti terror laws that deal with this exact sort of thing. The dudes admited to what they did. They most certainly can be charged. The way most tell this story proves they did not even watch the news when it was going on. The cops had no way to know what the "devices" where. They found 10 "devices" planted along public transit routes. In the day you could not see what the objects where. They just looked like electronic devices. No one knew about the campaign. Funny how you clowns laugh, but when your ass gets blown to shit in a subway you will be crying that the feds didnt do anything to save you.
These little fucks are the reason I sat in grid lock all afternnon. I hope they get out, becuase they are going to get the shit beaten out of them every time there hippie ass walks out of mass art!

"These little fucks are the reason I sat in grid lock all afternoon. I hope they get out, because they are going to get the shit beaten out of them every time there hippie ass walks out of mass art!"
;D I'd guess I'd be a little pissed too.
Boston is just trying to cover their embarrassed candy-asses. Ten other major cities had the exact same Lite Brite Signs, and none of them cared. Those signs were in place for 7-8 days before Boston peed in their pants. Great response time Boston PD! ;D

Did you watch the news? The city had no idea about the "signs". The people who called about them did so in the day. Hence them not knowing what they where since you can only see them light up at night. No one here had any idea what they where. I saw one of them real wuick before it was detonated. Looked like a vcr with wires on it.
All this talk comes now after the fact. When this was going on everyone took it serious because no one knew. Maybe in queef citys like Seattle people dont take shit serious but in major cities like Boston they take all that shat serious.

proof is in the pudding folks, all signs point to major meltdown crisis in boston tonight. Once again FOX's terror threat jumped to ultra violet hexagonal purple a level of terror never seen before.

Correct... "The city had no idea." 1000's of sane people had seen the signs and nobody cared.
Boston was scared of the talking french fries. ;D

Actually that means 10 other cities could have easily had the shit blown out of them. If I lived in Boston, I'd be happy with that fact.

How would the cops know if no one told them? They responded to the call. I was there , I saw what went down. No one knew wtf was going on. So they played it safe.
You are acting like the cops knew what the devices where and spazed out. Again no police knew about the "signs" or campaign.
-
Weren't the signs up for weeks before this incident?
Didn't the beat cops (who walk and drive those paths every night) notice new oddly lit objects in places where no light power was supplied? Pretty conspicuous places like bridges and sides of buildings.
-

If the banana peel I threw in the garbage today was a bomb, many people could have had the shit blown out of them.

Ok, real good analogy. ::) I just hope your just trying to be funny.

yeah, but you're just a regular guy going to work, etc.
I'm talking about the cops. They cruise those streets every night. They're supposed to be on "elevated' alert. Any area that had feet cops that didn't notice, they should sit the guys down and see what the problem is. I bet if the deli underneath that brightly lit profane french fry LCD had a new brand of salami, the cop was aware of that.
Those kids were smug because they knew they would skate and make a lot of money doing the TODAY show in a week. it was just a bad mix of irresponsible marketing and overzealous/unobservant police.

Maybe, it's possible. And if it is, what's your point? That they should have continued to just walk by after noticing?

I don't care why they were, I just think it's fvcked up and hope they get the shit scared outta them.

Cops have better things to do here then cruise around my friend. I walked that bridge many a night and never saw a sign.
-

The point is, the call came in the day when the cops did not know what the packages where. The places these signs where planted are places cops do not go. They where borderline hidden under bridges and shit.
I lived 2 blocks from a "device" and never saw it. Walk the bridge every night. Everyone is a monday morning qb.

stfu.. you'd be the first one to complain if something did happen,, im surprised your not sayng it's a government conspericy. the cop found a box with an electronic device is an unusuall place. but of course 240 has a problem with everything in this world

Honestly, people with attitudes like yours scare the shit out of me a lot more than some "terror menace" does.
If this was a prank intended to be a bomb scare, I might agree with you, but it wasn't. They were employees following orders to place neon signs. Neither they nor their bosses intended for them to be perceived as threats, nor would they have any reason to think they would be.
I sure as hell don't want to live in a country where you can be put in jail for making an honest mistake with no criminal intent. That's not the America I grew up in, and it's attitudes like yours that are slowly helping congress turn this country into a fascist police state.

Random, black, suspicious looking devices placed under major transit routes? They where practically hidden. Again, in the day there was no way to tell what these "devices" where. They where placed in shady spots in places where if seen in the day would cause suspicion. I saw one of the "signs" before it was detonated. In the day it looked like a black mechanical object. At the time this was going on no one knew what was going on. All these facts you guys bring up are all things discovered after the fact. No one here knew about the signs in other city's. The cops had no idea what they where. They responded to several calls from diff parts of the city about suspicious objects. In the day people passing under bridges had no idea what they where. Easy to criticize now that it is after the fact.
There was no way for the police to know what the objects where if they did not know what "they" where in the first place. The objects where placed in areas where you would never think a sign would be put. I walked one of the bridges by the Charles every single night to get to my apt and ever saw the sign one time. Why people would bash the bomb squad for responding to reports of suspicious packages is beyiond me. If they did not have a clue about the "campaign" which they did not, how are they in the wrong? Its some think its out of the ordinary the police do not know about random devices that are sings placed under random bridges around the city. You know since Boston is not a major city with real crime to fight.
They people being charged knew exactly what they where doing.

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety"
I'd like to tattoo this Franklin quote on the forehead of every congressman who voted to reauthorize the "Patriot Act" (there's a misnomer if I ever heard one).

They intended for the signs to be mistaken for bombs and to cause panic? I'd love to see how the Boston DA plans to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
Oh, wait.... do we still get trials in America anymore? Just say the word "terror", and ship them off to Gitmo, right? I'm guessing the Keystone Kops at Homeland Security figure they're gonna get Osama's current location from these two, right? ::)

No they planted black, mechanical looking, devices in the girders of transit bridges (10 times) near trains for the hell of it.
If they did not know during the day, when the signs where not lit up, some might find that a bit suspiscous, they deserve to be charged for being so stupid.

I wouldn't... Let me ask you a real question...
No offense to law enforcement, however, when was the last time a cop actually prevented a crime?
Now, some of you may say that police are a deterrent, and to that I say... if they were good deterrents we would have no crime at all, because there's a lot of cops... but let's get back to the point.
A policeman's job, is unfortunately, not to prevent crime, he is to report about crime, and if need be, arrest a criminal for a crime he has ALREADY done... Cops do not "prevent" crime in any way... sorry guys... A crime must already be committed to get one to even show up.
They may prevent a bad crime from escalating to a worse crime, for example, someone is kidnapped, and the police are called, maybe that person doesn't end up killed... but they've already been kidnapped, so a crime has really already been committed.
I do not hold cops to blame... however, if a HUGE thing goes down, I would like to know why the CIA, FBI, NSA, and maybe even the Secret Service (depending on the crim), didn't have a fucking clue... however, protecting me and my family is in all reality, my job.

You obviously have a grudge mang. Not sure what this has to do with police getting reports of suspicious devices under bridges and following procedure. Again, they had no idea they where signs, nor any idea about the campaign being put on by these tards. Cops do not cruise around at night checking out the girders of train bridges for signs. They fight crime and have things going on here. Like any other majoy city. This isnt Iowa.
If they knew you would have a point. But, they did not, just like most all of us. I live in the area 2 blocks from one of the bridges on the charles. Never saw a thing at night.

Dude, there are black metal non lit boxes all over the place... Cable boxes, Electrical boxes, Phone Boxes... They're all over... Should we charge the phone company, the telephone company, and the cable company with Terrorism?
Is this a metal box you'd rather see?

I have no grudge... I simply believe that people should look to themselves for security and not necessarily for every policeman who walks around... sorry.
So what you're saying is we have to tell a policeman everything we do now? Because we may or may not scare the general public... even though it's like leaving a broken lite-brite on a sidewalk.

That point makes no sense. If you stack a brick of cable box's in the girders of a bridge that carries trains, it would arise suspicion. It would look out of place. It might look something like a bomb, to a passer by. Hence, them calling the police. When the cops follow procedure they take it seriously. There lives could be on the line. Maybe it is a joke maybe it is not.Random box's do not sit under major bridges a lot of the time, that might resemble a thing called a bomb. Of course eletrical box's in there proper place do not bring suspicion.
My point is they followed procedure, and had no idea what the "things" where.
-
statistically - police take 11 min to arrive at the scene of a crime.
statistically - do most crimes take more, or less, than 11 min after initial 911 call is made?
statistically, most police do show up afterwards. It's not their fault, it's the logistical nature of the 'law enforcement' setup. Just carry your own piece, keep your eyes open, and don't start shit, and you're good.

How would you know it's a random box... You ever walk by a Train track? There are boxes around... for switching... How would you know what's supposed to be there and what's not?
You're saying that 1 black box ANYWHERE that you don't know what it is, and you're gonna go Terror Alert "Elmo" because of it?
Come on... that's just not feasible.
My point is that no one knows what's supposed to be in any given place at any one time... You're not omnipotent, no one is. We should just start looking for boxes everywhere to stop terror?
Let's protect our ports first.

What kind of -i d i o t- thinks that if someone designed a bomb... they would put BLINKING FUCKING LIGHTS all over it!?
Obviously, the cops in Boston watch a lot of SciFi Channel. ;D

They where not on a train track. They where in the girders of a bridge out of place where they should not have been. You are either really slow, or a gimmick messing around. its not that hard to see why random black box's placed under major bridges in a major city would arise suspicion.

Why are you trying to change the facts? the reports where in the day, you could not see the lights. It looked like a black metal box with wires on it. You seem to post pretty seriously when you argue a point you agree with. Yet ,post like a 5 year old when you do not. How would one see blinking lights when they where not on, in the day light?
The sings only light up at night, hence them looking like flat black boxs in the day.

Train Track... bridge... the point is that it's a box, and you don't know if it's supposed to be there or not... YOU CAN NOT KNOW IF IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THERE... NO ONE PERSON KNOWS WHERE EVERY BLACK BOX IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
Dude... I'm no gimmick, I'm the real deal...
I'm hardly slow either... I'm explaining that I think that everyone was over-reacting about a stupid little teeny ass box... You're apparently not catching on though.

Have you ever seen the bridges in questions? They are foot bridges that carry people under train tracks. There is no box's on them ::) Your problem is with the bomb plans for major citys, not the Boston police doing there job.

Why are you trying to change the facts? the reports where in the day, you could not see the lights. It looked like a black metal box with wires on it. You seem to post pretty seriously when you argue a point you agree with. Yet ,post like a 5 year old when you do not. How would one see blinking lights when they where not on, in the day light?
The sings only light up at night, hence them looking like flat black boxs in the day.
From a distance, maybe, but after examining them, the lights would have been obvious.

Correct, which the police reported in real time as it happened. But, procedure calls for them to treat each package a certain way. They did not know if they where "dummy" devices leading to a real bomb, or what was going on. The fuzz had no clue about any of the "sings". They had 10 reports, of 10 different devices from different parts of the city. With no knowledge of the "devices" ,they took them seriously.

No, but it's still a bridge... If one day, someone decides to monitor how many people walk on the bridge, they may put a box on it... Will you call the cops then?
We will never agree on this... why are we keeping this up?
I say, it's a bridge... and so what? You say... they deserve to be locked up... I will never agree with that.

Did you read the actual story of what happened ? I am guessing no.

you find a lump in your neck, so you go to the doctor- the doctor will assume it is cancer until proven otherwise.
your a cop and you see a suspicious device- you assume its a bomb until proven otherwise
in law enforcement you always prepare for a worst case scenario

I know all about it... I just think many people are over-reacting.
Once again, terror alert Elmo.

Judging from your posts about how and where the box's where planted, that does not seem to be the case.

I found this on another site, and it sums up this situation perfectly:
I'm 50% amused and 50% frightened by Boston's reaction to this. I live in New York, saw one of these around town, and thought to myself "someone hung up a lite-brite."
I appreciate that Boston is being cautious, but one of the responses to a reported terrorist threat clearly has to be an evaluation of whether or not that threat exists. Otherwise you'll throw away resources and public awareness on every soda can sitting on a subway platform. So did Boston try to figure out what was going on? How long does it take you to realize something is four D-cells and some LEDs?
I agree every threat should be checked out, but not every threat is real. Public officials overreacted, wasted alot of people's time and money, and now they're embarrassed. So to defer attention away from their own idiocy, they're throwing some trumped up charges at a couple of artists (who aren't going to get convicted of anything) and claiming that Ted Turner owes them a million dollars (which they'll never get awarded).
And for all the horrible reporting I've read about this advertising campaign being a "bomb", ATHF has gotten more free publicity than anyone could have dreamed. Short term spin: Ted Turner is a terrorist. Long view: Lite-brites are the new Big Dig.

Oh brother, again it was not night, so the devices did not light up.

dont you think they're better off over-reacting, then under-reacting.. the cops are probably laughing about it too now.

I followed it as closely as I needed to as I am not fearful of boxes.
Notice the part where the other 8 cities didn't freak out? Also notice where the citizens in Boston are used to odd Marketing ploys and believe it's pure hysteria on the part of the officials.

No, I think they are better off making careful judgments... When you wield the power to remove someones liberty (by arresting them), you don't get to make mistakes like this, not in my book... sorry.

Your right, the cops suck. wow, what a terrible reaction they had. These artists are being persocuted. Not a soul in Boston is mad about it! You got it man, now im off to sleep in my apt in the middle of the city you know so much about!

They overreacted, period. And now they're just making themselves look dumber by going after a couple of kids because they're embarrassed.

Yes it is. The cops had no way to know they where just signs since they did not see them lit up at night and had no clue about the campaign.
Ps, the kids you are talking about are pushing 30.
-
they're patsies.
like the guy in the book depository, or those witless murderous arabs on remote controlled planes who were enjoying the NYC skyline...

Funny, I read a lot of reports where people in Boston are mad about it... especially about how people now think Bostonians are morons... You should be upset about it too, I'm really shocked you're not.
Oh, and goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite and all of that stuff.

It was only a matter of time. Let me guess, this is a conspiracy?
-

So you're saying that they did not over-react? And you're also saying that prosecuting these 2 guys (who were doing their jobs too I might add) is not over-reacting?
If all parties were smart, they would let it go and move on, but apparently, all parties are not smart.
-

nope.
boston mess was some gullible kids, a mktg company which considered it (had to) but didn't care, a media company which will get very rich over this, police who did their job but acted like drama queens in the press.
it was an unfortunate mess, and will be followed by fast laws to try to prevent it again. Remember, i only subscribe to the belief that 4 or so major events need independent investigations to catch all those involved. This has nothing to do with a conspiracy. Just a bad day.

The Boston police responded to suspicion packages and followed procedure. They had no knowledge of what the packages where, and what they contained. They had no knowledge of any of the things they know now. For all they know they could have been bombs. The national/ local media took the story , and blew it up. hence the big deal, not the bpd.
Pretty easy to say it was a huge overaction now. You can say that about anything that looks serious at first then turns out to be a hoax. That line of thinking id irrational. I watched the events unfold live, no one knew wtf was going on. With no previous knowledge of the devices being planted as a gimmick they where taken seriously.
-
Charges will be dropped right? If they stick then I'm going to be pissed at those cry baby bostinians.

You didn't answer my question about the charges being brought upon them... you think that's a perfectly normal reaction?
Let me also pose this to you... If you can be charged for screaming fire when there is no fire... can we also charge the people who were in charge for screaming "bomb", when there is no bomb?
"I said it's not like I have a bomb."
"You said bomb."
-
Yes it is. The cops had no way to know they where just signs since they did not see them lit up at night and had no clue about the campaign.
Hmmmm.... light bulbs, battery, no trace of chemical explosive, no reason to suspect a terror attack.... let's shut down the city!!
Please remind me to be careful next time I visit Boston, as the cops are extra dumb there.
Ps, the kids you are talking about are pushing 30.
They're younger than me, therefore they're "kids".

Yes, they reported this as they found out. But the teams where already on scene to inspect the "devices". If you watched it unfold live, you would have noticed how the bpd mentioned that the devices looked to be a hoax. They then said they where playing it safe as they did not know if some of the devices where dummy devices or not. They had no knowledge of all the things you know now, at the time.
The city was not shut down, Boston is a major city with majar traffic. When the teams went on the scene they had to close some streets. Hence, "shutting the city down". It was not literal, as in the whole city.

What the hell are you talking about? Stop twisting shit into pointless jargin that has nothing to do with the particular situation.

Apparently you just don't get it... Let's just move on.
It has everything to do with this situation, and you still didn't answer my question.
-
No it doesent, yelling fire is not the same as physically planting things in places that would arise suspicion. The devices resembled bombs during the day. Which promted people to become nervous and call the fuzz.
-
I hope those two hippies get locked up. Their smug childish attitude during the interview shows they don't give a fvck. Maybe when Bubba is splitting them open in prison, they値l appreciate the severity of their actions.

look at those fuckers..the dingleberry head could wipe his ass with his hair..and it looks like he figured it out too

Correct... "The city had no idea." 1000's of sane people had seen the signs and nobody cared.
Boston was scared of the talking french fries. ;D
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_Teen_Hunger_Force (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_Teen_Hunger_Force) Talking burger, fries & meatball. ;D
ahahaha....lol.....they are bringing "terror" on themselves.

thye should staple those two hippies to a wall
