Arrests two would-be Ferguson bombers

The FBI arrested two men that were suspected of buying explosives that they would use during protest that would take place if the grand jury decides if Darren Wilson should not be indicted. Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis are the two men that were suspected of having explosives for pipe bombs.  They are members of a militant group called the New Black Panther Party and they were arrested Friday in the St. Louis area in an FBI sting operation.  Earlier in the month they were indicted of purchasing two guns from a firearm dealer under false identification.

I am glad the FBI caught these men before they set of a bomb in the riots in Ferguson, because it is scary to think that people would go so far and set off a bomb in Ferguson after the grand jury’s decision is made.

How far do you think people would go with the riots? Do you think other people are going to set off bombs during the riots if Wilson is not indicted? What do you think the police would do if people did set off bombs?

  • Good job!!

  • I don't know if more people are going to be setting off more bombs, I people are willing to make them or buy then I guess they might. The police would probably end up using more force like killing the people who are trying to set off the bombs.

  • they will go as far as they want to with these riots. They might set them off. the police will find out who and but them behind bars

  • These riots are starting to get a little out of hand, but I think that they are just fighting for what they think they deserve. I think that after it is all settled, it will eventually quiet down. 

    • These riots are getting out of hand and I think they will quiet down after awhile.

  • People will get really mad and they would probably set off bombs and the police couldn't do anything but maybe catch them before they set off the bomb.

  • Hopefully they will detect and avert any problems, but if they did set of a bomb that would be bad. It would be worse than the riots already taking place. There could be military action if this gets more out of hand.

    • I agree with you that there could be military action if these riots get out of hand.

  • Some people would probably go way to far for the "protests".. Its scary to think that there might be other people wanting to set off bombs. Obviously, there would be a punishment for whoever did set off the bombs, also they would try to help protect the people.

  • If the people did go that far, and decide to set off explosives. The government would have no choice to send in the national guard. In my opinion these people are overreacting.
