Why is news on this so hard to come by? It’s a guy making freaking bombs in his house. It screams terrorist activity. If he had a Muslim name I’m sure this would be in the news constantly with reporters standing around the court house with live speculation. Him just being foreign isn’t enough? He needs to be brown too?
Your house asplode.
It’s getting so that you can’t even have an innocent hobby any more without the gubmint poking around. We used to have rights in this country, but look at us now.
While browsing through the photos, I couldn’t help but laugh hysterically at the one of a hand grenade, a bag of coffee filters, and a big bag of marshmallows.
Just had to do it. Talking heads- burning down the house. Carry on.
Yes, he was. It was on the local news here the day it happened. I think he received injuries on his leg, arm, and one side of his face. They weren’t life-threatening, but were reasonably serious, i think.
According to this story, the gardener has retained a lawyer, and it seems that they might be suing the owner of the house, because it was apparently the owner (rather than the renter and bomb-maker) who actually hired the gardener to do the work. Also, the owner has insurance.
It’s still not clear who the actual owner is, though, or what he thinks of his house being burned down.
Aren’t homemade ordnance and explosives legal? Or rather, doesn’t the state need to prove that he’s in illegal possession of the items before they can destroy them?
Seems to me that the US Supreme Court ruled that weapon ownership is protected by the second amendment. This could all be legal now.
I also liked his hat collection.
Not according to California’s definition of a destructive device.
No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There’s always a boom tomorrow. … Boom, sooner or later. BOOM!
Image number 12 made me think of krytron switches. Now that would involve a bigger boom than they bargained for.
Yes, I noticed that too.
I can imagine the neighbours having a barbecue on a weekend evening when a grenade lands on the lawn, fizzles, cracks and marshmallows spring out like confetti.
There’s a one second pause to formulate a collective mental WTF? among the present when Mr. Jakubec’s kitchen blows up in the background.
If I were the homeowner, I’d insist on it being filmed, and getting the rights to distribute the video.
I know just the people to do it!
I think the property owner is probably out of luck. Isn’t there a rule that police rely on to the effect that property used in the (even suspected) comission of a crime is seized outright?
My signifcant other had a good point when I told her about it.
Make the dude who made this mess bring that shit out one piece at a time to be properly disposed of (under supervision of course).
No.
Wow. Now California is trying to knock itself into the ocean.
