Explosion In Prague

[Zam-Zam]

Cue the "It must be the TEA Party" crowd.........



PRAGUE (AP) -- A powerful explosion badly damaged an office building in the center of the Czech capital Monday, injuring up to 40 people. Authorities believe people may still be buried in the rubble.

It was not certain what caused the blast in Divadelni Street, in Prague's Old Town, at about 10 a.m., but it was likely a natural gas explosion, police spokesman Tomas Hulan said. Tourists at the famed Charles Bridge also felt the blast.

The street was covered with rubble and was sealed off by police who also evacuated people from nearby buildings and closed a wide area around the explosion site.

Zdenek Schwarz, head of the rescue service in Prague, said up to 40 people were injured, at least four of them seriously.

Rescue service spokeswoman Jirina Ernestova said there were foreigners among the injured but had no further details immediately.

Some of the injured were taken to Prague's hospitals for treatment while others, many of whom were hit by flying glass, were treated by rescuers at the scene.

Firefighters spokeswoman Pavlina Adamcova said rescuers were still searching the rubble, using sniffer dogs.

Adamcova said two or three people were still missing.

There are no natural gas explosions....it's all part of the International Mooos'lem Conspiracy!!!!!!

Conspiracy buffs and the rush to judgement crowd will skip over that little nugget, it doesn't fit their paradigm.

Which is exactly what you did.

Really? Please show where I speculated on the cause of the explosion. If you can do that, you have something. If you can't, you've either assumed facts not in evidence, or you've lied.

"cue the it must be the Tea Party crowd"...

You have speculated on who will rise and blame what people...

So you're admitting that I didn't speculate as to the cause of the explosion. I'm glad that much is settled.


I was taking a subtle jab at those who assigned blame in Boston before any facts came in. Obviously, they deserve that.

Certainly you weren't one of them, were you?

Isn't it more likely the Prague explosion will cue the "It must be Muslim terrorists" crowd? Because that's what happened after the Oklahoma City bombing, you know.....

Subtle? Another righty with strange thoughts about what words mean.

Yes...you speculated as to response. Stupidly so. Why you feel people seeking answers and being a bit premature in judgment is worthy of your condemnation is a mystery. But...in the artilce you posted...it's pretty clear the explosion was caused by a gas leak. This is a rather completely different circumstance from a bomb exploding on a street during a crowded event.

Feel free to examine my posts if you don't know what I've written.

Sorry, Zam....you're being disengenuous.

You were implying that it was a terrorist attack by your snark about Tea Partyers.

Then got busted by Craig because you obviously didn't read the article. Just quickly Cut & Pasted it. Let me guess.....Drudge Report???

Now you're speculating. I did no such thing.

Yes, I did direct a snark at the crowd ready to blame the TEA party. They had it coming.


It was an associated press article. If you would have read it you'd have known that.

 

[Mytzlplk]

indeed, and the desperation these people have to cover the violent elements in their ranks is telling, as a guilty conscience always is.

This "Tea party" thing is a dishonest exaggeration anyway, given that what speculation I saw that occurred was mostly about a rightwinger generally, not any specific flavor of rightwingnut. They've pretty much had a monopoly on terrorist attaks for quite awhile now, whether they are foreign or domestic rightwingners

 

[JuliefromOhio]

would you like to take a crack at the explosion in Texas?

that was essentially the 'tea party mindset' bombing themselves.

 

[Mytzlplk]

excellent point julie

they arrested the guys involved in the factory collapse http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=..._3rwLy83A_aR0W_-AJ3nFyA&bvm=bv.45645796,d.aWM

as we should them

That was a fertilizer explosion. Which TEA Party members do you believe were involved? What evidence can you point to?

A clear case of not understanding the post you were responding to.

Care to elaborate?

 

[zzigzzag]

The tea party is a fertilizer explosion....if that has any bearing on the case.

 

[LeRoy_Was_Here]

Care to elaborate?

Sure. Here is what Julie wrote:

LeRoy: Julie was implying that the Tea Party MINDSET, opposed to all government regulation, was a contributing factor in the fertilizer plant explosion in Texas. The Tea Party tends to think that the gummint should mind its own 'bizness', and not be conducting things like health and safety inspections. How often was that fertilizer plant in Texas inspected?
