Homemade Bomb Goes Off

2012 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Pearl River, LA-Posted from my parish sheriff's FaceBook page.

Facts: Police responded to a noise complaint late at night. As the deputy approached, a loud explosion was heard. 19-year-old dead, 17 year old injured and taken to the hospital.

Facebook comments: "They were making a noise cannon. They decided to grind with an axle rod and caused a spark and that's what made the explosion.

People on the comments thread weren't too happy with my referring to this site and my comments were rapidly deleted. In fact, I got blocked. Can my gov't page do that?

Friend's comment: "Well, he left his mark on the world, and on the ceiling, and on the wall..."

Thanks, Bob, but I liken this to all the stories we get involving idiocy with fireworks and other homemade devices. We get lots of them, and there really isn't anything here that stands out as original.

What Bruce said. Though the quote in the last line is morbidly hilarious.
