Incel blows own hand off making bomb for terror attack

[William Parcher]

When I was growing up guys didn't blow up a bunch of pretty cheerleaders for any reason. And there was a hell of a lot of guys not getting laid back then - AS ALWAYS.

I like to think of those old days as being when America was great.

When I was growing up, I wasn't getting laid and I was making explosives, but the two were not at all related.

We just liked to make **** that blew up.

Then he said he was just speaking offhandedly.

All-righty then!

The closest I came to making explosives was spending a half hour opening up little firecrackers to shake out the flash powder and accumulating a pile that then was put into a makeshift bigger firecracker. It was never worth the effort because it seemed to only make a dullish boom with lots of flash and smoke.

Boredom would set in and I'd go inside to see if I could figure out where dad hid the Playboy magazine this month.

Article lists the explosive as Acetone peroxide trimer, a common homemade explosive that is also known for being very sensitive and prone to accidental detonation.

Ah organic peroxides, a fun little group of compounds.

I think that it was because I was busy playing with explosives (and other chemicals and geek like stuff in general) that I was not getting laid. The opposite of the sick dangerous idiot in the OP who because he was not getting laid decided to “play” with explosives.

You could get a lot more powder from shotgun shells.

We were lucky that we weren't smart enough to make a pipe bomb or we probably would have

I had access to gunpowder because my parents were both trap shooters with shotguns (the only guns we ever had) and my dad reloaded their shells. This means we had pounds of gunpowder in the workshop. Nothing would have stopped me but for my own knowledge that that stuff was an entirely different animal compared to what was inside the Black Cat firecrackers. I think the gunpowder he used was called Blue Dot. Not sure.

Ya' gotta give the guy a hand. Well, if you die, are a donor, and a type match.

Was that the stuff the Terrorists tried to mix up on an airplane?

Blue dot is one, but usually only used for magnum loads, not the kind a guy shoots hundreds of per day. More usual target load uses Green Dot. Red Dot is for light/fast loads and pistols. But there are 150 kinds out there.

Ok. I've been out of the dating scene for quite a few years, and I know things are different now, but, is it really that difficult to find a girl these days?

1. Bathe.
2. Get a job.
3. Go to the gym sometimes.

And, I suppose,

4. Recognize that there aren't enough "hot cheerleaders" to go around, but that when it comes right down to it, most girls are pretty.

Actually I lately read hands are on the list of transplantable parts. Big improvement over 45 years ago when they couldn't splice together my median nerve.

People should all drive by the hospital at a COVID-safe distance...to give him a wave.

It is amazing. He should pray for a female donor.

 

[PhantomWolf]

Just another peaceful protester.

Yeah, seems that Incels are trying to steal the Alt-Right's Domestic Terrorism crown, though I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a lot of cross over between the two groups.

He should get so lucky.

I want to hear "the gardening accident" story he gave, please, because it has to be a doozie.
What sort of gardening incident could explain, a missing hand, several missing fingers on the other, and multiple shrapnel wounds?
A Garden Weasel gone awry?
An encounter with a well armed angry rabid rabbit?
I feel like I'm being teased with some seriously entertaining levels of fanciful fabrication and there's little hope of satisfaction.

I think I remember Blue Dot but I could be wrong. Maybe Red Dot. They shot both trap and skeet. I never heard the term "magnum" from either of them. Dad had a 12 guage and mom had a 20 guage. Both won lots of trophies for competition including state level.

I sometimes helped dad reload the shells and I think it was always one type of gunpowder. Could they have been using Red Dot instead of Blue? Is Red Dot too "light" for competition trap and skeet?

The problem with incels is that they object to any woman having agency.
