Don't Be Stupid

It is amazing how often someone tries to make a bomb, and the intended target never even hears about it.  From April 16, 2013 KTVB:

MALHEUR COUNTY -- Authorities have released the names of two men critically injured after they allegedly triggered several homemade bombs in an isolated stretch of Oregon rangeland Sunday.

Sixty-year-old Drex Brooks and 59-year-old Mark Brinton from Ontario are the men responsible for the blasts, according to Malheur County Sheriff Brian Wolfe.

Brooks is listed in serious condition at a Portland hospital. At last word, Brinton was in critical condition at a Boise hospital.

I am reminded of the Weather Underground bomb maker who experienced a sudden career end.  According to the version that I heard from an acquaintance who was part of the New Left back then, one of these fools was making bombs in a New York City brownstone, while smoking.
