Starbucks Bombing

Now I don't know why anyone would ever bomb a multinational which puts local coffee companies out of business, but it sure gave me a surprise headline while my eyes glanced over at the TV at the gym today. In San Francisco of all places, what a shocker!

SAN FRANCISCO, California (CNN) -- An explosive device was found in a Starbucks coffee shop in central San Francisco on Monday. The building was evacuated and a police bomb squad disarmed the device, authorities said.

Just kidding. As SF is quite liberal I am surprised this sort of shenanigan wasn't tried earlier. I really wonder if it was a Starbucks thing or just a crazy person stunt. Reverand Billy has shut down some Starbucks before from licking the entire store with his choir. Yes, I did say lick. Just look at the link as it is far too difficult to sum up this character.

When doing a quick search of blogs mentioning this event, why does it seem like only NRA wielding terrorist-fearing people who think we need to supersize the patriot act and have a national state of emergency banishing all human rights who have mentioned it? Where are the voices of reason? It's like pain or a cough; a bomb threat is a symptom of a problem that exists. A cough suppressant or painkillers suppress the problem but often will end up backfiring on you. Especially when the pain is a symptom of something much larger than a headache.
