Good thing it happened then and not a time when the park would be much busier.

Why do people have to destroy others to try and make a point. Or is this just some kid thinking it would be fun to blow up a trash can. I believe that we as a civilization are getting dumber by the decade. Before anyone jumps on me I mean people of extreme beliefs are using more extreme measures to get their point across and most of their beliefs are for peace. Blowing up something where people can and do get injured is not peacefull. To all those idiot extremeists out there STOP DOING STUPID S**T!!!

Raser - Its not getting worse in recent decades, its just an ever evolving thing. ever heard of the crusades?

tanks - So am I allowed to shot someone? I mean, I am a human, so I am naturally violent, and therefore unable to stop myself. So its really not my fault If I kill a man...?

Everyone knows this was not a pipe bomb, but a firecracker, right? The quote was "had end caps similar to what a pipe bomb would have".

And it was not "Near Disney", it was in a dumpster at Downtown Disney.
