Let's dissect the FACTS as we know them so far...

Late at night/early in the morning, near a nightclub, a car swerves and hits a trash can. The driver runs away.

An ambulance driver says he saw smoke coming from the car. Was the guy smoking in his car? Was it pot smoke? Or was it billowing black smoke indicating an incendiary device? They won't say. Just "smoke coming from the car."

He has a nearly full tank of gas (60 liters = roughly 16 gallons). It is reported as "packed with 60 liters of petrol."

He has a standard cylinder of propane in his car. One cylinder, according the eye witness on CNN who actually photographed it.

We don't know how many nails he had. The media is only reading the press releases using the word "packed," but there is absolutely no indication it was "packed" with anything. Maybe he had a standard box of deck nails.

There has been NO MENTION of any sort of detonating device found. How was he setting off this bomb?

People, we need to wake up to this sort of hysterical bullshit. How many times have we been through this before? We'll find out, late some weekend night when no one is paying attention, that there was never any threat and what we had was a standard, run-of-the-mill leaving-the-scene-of-an-accident by an intoxicated driver after a night of clubbing.

Wanna bet?
