John Winger: C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like going into Wisconsin.

Russell Ziskey: Well I got the #### kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!

 
Took me an hour and half to get to work.  I left my house at 8am and checked my MTA app.  All lines read "good service."  Sheesh. I got stuck in the tunnel on an E.  My wife was FREAKING out. I had half dozen messages.  Good times. At least I had downloaded the final episode of Godless.  Glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  Stay safe gbs!

 
I’m guessing this scumbag has no good info to ‘give’, but I’m also guessing that won’t limit the effort to help him give it.

You gotta be pretty bad at bomb making to not even kill yourself with a suicide bomb.

Great, this jagoff has the potential to be a two-time suicide bomber. <_<  

(This is sarcasm.)

Curious by what you mean when you say “we” ? 

You’ve mentioned in your posts that you have no friends, your awful thread disappears when you go bc nobody cares and we all hope it’s gone for good, so I’m curious, does “we” = “I” in the above post?

Yes I know. That’s why these #### heads do these things. To terrorize the population. It’s totally understandable. 

But we can’t fall into the trap of extrapolating the events we see on tv as happening everywhere, all the time. 

If you live in some suburb of Omaha or Portland or a small town in Ohio you are really, truly, incredibly safe. Even in the big cities.

Not really. And we just had a bunch of coverage recently, due to it being the 10 year anniversary.

And this one just marked it's 5 year anniversary.

Just pointing out that just because it's flyover country, doesn't mean we don't suffer the same problems as other "more important" locals.

What?  I live in MN. This has nothing to do with flyover vs coast. 

This has more to do with fact vs perception. This is the safest time period we’ve seen in at least 100 years. Yet people are more fearful of the minute possibilities of gruesome violence precisely because we hear about each and every one of them. 

You're like 1,000 times more likely to die from a driver who is texting than a mass shooting. 

I understand. I could point to hundreds of terrible stories and make anecdotes drive the narrative (I.e. what 24 hour news does). But it’s simply not true and life is too short to be fearful of the very, very, very rare.

OK I guess I misunderstood your quote. Why mention any cities? I was just pointing out two incidents in Omaha.

Sooo glad this thread is short and already with the wise cracks.

When I first got the news about this yesterday...ugh... Couldn't have imagined it ending up as "well" as it did.

Um, to point out that anywhere USA is really safe?

Sorry I picked your town. Replace with ‘Kansas City’

randomly ended up with my daughter yesterday in the same tunnel this guy asploded himself in. found myself in protection-mode- sheparding her against the wall as we walked through it using my body as a buffer... even if I knew nothing was going to happen. I hadn't been in that place in years (connects Times Square to Port Authority), if ever. it's tight- and even at noon, was crowded. would've been all kinds of terrible if it had gone off as this guy had hoped for during the morning commute.

 
Am I horrible for hoping his injuries include the need to sit while peeing for the rest of his life?

tldr; I hope he blew his #### off
