Don’t you love how the MSM loves to use the term Weapons of Mass Destruction? Big bad axis of evil dictators are supposed to have them. We now know that cookware counts as a weapon of mass destruction in Boston. Now we have a Russian college engineering pothead student at Penn State Altoona being caught with a WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION. I wonder if the U.S. Military will be invading Altoona to liberate its people.
CNN, Fox, MSNBC and the rest of the fear mongering legacy media are breathlessly reporting this latest terrorist threat. He is one of those dreaded Russians. Hide under your beds. The Russians are coming.
A Penn State Altoona freshman from Moscow, Russia, was arrested late Friday and charged with possessing a weapon of mass destruction and risking a catastrophe, after city police allegedly found a homemade bomb and bomb-making materials in his Juniata apartment – where they had come to look for a marijuana-growing operation.
The Altoona Mirror doesn’t seem to be following the MSM scare tactic headlines. They actually interviewed the dude’s roommate and got the following responses:
One of Miftakhov’s apartment mates, Andrew Leff of Bucks County, contradicted Miftakov’s statement that he hadn’t detonated anything in Pennsylvania, saying that during the current semester, Miftakhov had set off three “mini-bombs” just outside their apartment, creating small craters in the ground.
Recently, Miftakhov had showed Leff a bomb made by mixing chemicals in an aerosol whipped cream container, Leff said.
“I said, ‘Dude, you’ve got to get rid of that,'” Leff said Saturday afternoon in the snow outside the apartment.
Miftakhov later told Leff he’d done as suggested.
“[But] apparently he didn’t,” Leff said.
Miftakhov was a “crazy kid” who did “impulsive things,” Leff said.
“He was off the wall,” Leff said. “It’s not surprising to me at all [to learn about the arrest].”
Leff said Miftakhov was a “dumb kid” who did what he did because he was bored.
Leff didn’t see Miftakhov as truly dangerous, he added.
Why let the truth get in the way of a sensationalist fear mongering headline designed to keep the ignorant masses fearful, begging for more government protection and the further restriction of our liberty and freedom? A headline about a pothead engineering student who liked to create explosions in remote fields just doesn’t do the job.
