Bomb Scare In the Hood
Police blocked off a quarter mile stretch of a main suburban thoroughfare tonight during rush hour after police discovered something “suspicious”. Three hours later, and the street was still blocked off with ambulance and fire department personnel standing around and smoking.
I was imagining the situation compared to Israel. In Israel, three hours after a suicide bombing the street is open, the IDF have raised the family home of the attacker and taken out a car-load of his compadres, and Hamas/Islamic Jihad/Al Aksa Martyr’s Brigade have already issued their threats of retaliation.
In suburban Delaware, three hours after finding a suspicious package, the police are still poking it was a long (very long) stick… Same planet, different worlds…
