Nassau County police on Thursday have responded to a bomb threat at the home of Judge Arthur Engoron, the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News.
The threat comes hours before closing arguments in the trial are scheduled to begin, with those arguments still expected to proceed.
A bomb squad was called to Engoron’s home and was investigating Thursday morning; it is unclear whether Engoron was home at the time.
I almost want to see what these bozos would come up with if they tried to build a bomb. Not exactly the best and brightest America has to offer so I’d expect some duds and premature detonations from “Jim-Bob’s Truck Nuts and IED Emporium”.
Timothy McVeigh seems to have proven that far right whackos are very capable of building a good bomb. Be careful what you wish for.
Funny (but not funny, as it was a tragedy) that you should bring up the OKC bombings as an example of building a good bomb. McVeigh’s bomb didn’t work properly and failed to fully high order, it was just so much ANFO that it didn’t even matter.
I didn’t know that, but it clearly worked well enough. 😬
Oh absolutely, which is the worrisome part of all of this to me. Someone doesn’t even need to build something good, just good enough.
Having grown up in a redneck community, I’m quite confident Trump supporters can at least make a functional pipe bomb.
Agreed. My dad was a maga guy and a prepper. He knew the process to make plastic explosives and pipe bombs. He even had experience making functional gun powder that he had stashed away in the basement. The crazies shouldn’t be discounted as harmless
I grew up in a small redneck community. We love blowing shit up. I know guys that couldn’t graduate high school but could make all kinds of homemade explosive stuff. They’d go out in the woods and blow up a tree, an old appliance, a non-functional vehicle, or whatever else they could scrounge up.
I’ll admit it’s fun as hell. It’s probably not terribly safe but out of the hundreds of times I watched or participated in blowing shit up I only saw one guy injured. He’s missing a bunch of fingers now, but last I heard that hadn’t stopped him.
It’s not a question if it’s functional. It’s more if it’d prove itself functional at their garage.
They could very likely come up with something very functional, making IEDs, and even cooking your own explosive fillers is exceptionally easy, you really only need a very basic understanding of chemistry and circuitry (like grade 9 or 10 level). If extremists hiding in caves in Afghanistan could make consistent and effective devices with HME, then Joe Redneck with Internet access and over the counter access to Ammonium Nitrate Aluminum (Tannerite, which is legal in most states and often sold at gun stores) can probably do it too.
Did everyone forget they did make two PBs for the insurrection, both of which failed. And the FBI is still just sitting around playing with their dicks saying “boy gosh we sure DO want to find that person”.
Most of the people at J6 had college degrees.
