Jan 7:
NAACP president says organization remains "vigilant" after Colorado Springs blast

An improvised explosive device was detonated against the exterior wall of a building housing the Colorado Springs chapter of the NAACP on Tuesday, officials said.

The explosion knocked items off the office walls but no one was injured.

Agents from the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives went to the scene after the blast to gather evidence and place markers.

The FBI said that a gasoline can was placed next to the device but the contents did not ignite.

According to the the FBI, officials are seeking a "potential person of interest," described as a balding white male, about 40 years old.

"He may be driving a 2000 or older model dirty, white pick-up truck with paneling, a dark colored bed liner, open tailgate, and a missing or covered license plate," the FBI said in a statement said.

NAACP president: Organization remains "vigilant" after Colorado Springs blast

The explosion was heard near the building on the 600 block of South El Paso Street on the southern end of the city just before 11 a.m. Those nearby reported hearing a "loud boom."

"I was cutting somebody's hair and I heard the explosion," said Gene Southerland, the owner of Mr. G's Hair Design Studio in the same building. "It was such a loud explosion that some plastic containers fell off the shelf."

Henry Allen Jr., the NAACP chapter president, told The Gazette the explosion was strong enough to knock items off the walls and that volunteers who looked outside to see what happened saw what they described as a gas can rigged with some kind of incendiary device, such as a flare.

"We'll move on," Allen told the newspaper. "This won't deter us from doing the job we want to do in the community."

Photos from the scene showed evidence markers littering the area surrounding the building, local police and their police bomb squad maneuvering around yellow tape.

"The investigation is ongoing and it is not known at this time if the NAACP or a business in the vicinity was the intended target," said Amy Sanders, an FBI special agent.

Anyone with information about the explosive device should call the FBI tip line at (303) 435-7787

more effective, but then there's a whole lot of MOS that would have nothing whatsoever to do with explosives.

i still blame hip-hop.

It takes a special kind of idiot to fuck up "explosion + gasoline"

Tragedy thankfully averted because of his stupidity

i'm sure it was a little more than that, but this was not a well thought out attack.

does seem like it should warrant a little national coverage though.

i still blame hip-hop.

And he put effort into it and managed to fuck it up

i still blame hip-hop.

gets this kind of coverage

when I come around, they frown
then wanna dap me down
but when I leave?

Im not aure what this says about digital media, but i found out about this late last night in an article about twitter's reaction to the lack of coverage

right?

i haven't seen anything about it nationally.

but yeah, i mean, if it bleeds it leads and nobody died here and no property was even destroyed, so i'm certainly not trying to push it up over what happened in France.

i still blame hip-hop.

realized they were going to piss some people off.

and it would take an extreme cognitive dissonance to not see the relationship between the two incidents.

Mainly because the NAACP has been aware of how many people they would piss off from day one. It's okay you got caught up in the moment. Oh and they give zero fucks-- see the similarities now?

nah, buddy, it is the same

you admire those muslim terrorists because they had the "balls" to take the fight to the people they don't agree with. this guy had the balls to do the same, though he fucked up.

how are they different?

If you're innocent, be cool.
Only the guilty's catchin' offence.

Please don't try to put them in my mouth.

Before we go down this road please tell me what this man was attacking or trying to attack? Was he upholding something? Was he himself or a belief of his attacked? I'm not sure how much courage it takes to tape a Roman candle to a kerosene tank and drive away. Was he putting his life on the line or something?

You're out of your element Donny.
