Bomb spam making rounds

[Slayerking92]

It looks like the police were busy today.

Sample message:

I write you to inform you that my man hid the explosive device (Tetryl) in the building where your company is conducted. My mercenary constructed the bomb according to my guide. It can be hidden anywhere because of its small size, it is impossible to damage the building structure by this explosive device, but in the case of its detonation there will be many wounded people.My man is controlling the situation around the building. If any unusual activity, panic or cop is noticed he will power the bomb.I want to offer you a transaction. 20'000 usd is the cost for your life. Pay it to me in BTC and I ensure that I have to call off my man and the bomb will not explode. But do not try to deceive me- my warranty will become actual only after 3 confirmations in blockchain network.

My payment details (btc address)- (removed)

You have to pay me by the end of the working day, if the workday is over and people start leaving the building the device will explode.Nothing personal, if I do not receive the bitcoin and the bomb detonates, next time other companies will send me more money, because it isnt a single incident.For security and anonymity reasons, I will no longer enter this email. I check my address every 40 min and if I see the money I will give the command to my man to get away.

If an explosion occurred and the authorities read this letter:We are not terrorists and do not assume any responsibility for explosions in other buildings.

Even though you're just showing that this happened this type of post isn't what the LTT forums are about. Plus, this isn't tech news.

When I saw this on the news, I laughed because it was Edmonton, then I thought, why do people even bother committing crime in the USA?

Come to Canada and you will be out in no time!

Yes even a murder charge, Greyound Beheader is walking free, serial murderer Karla Humulka walking free and babysitting children in Quebec, mass murderer and son of a top police chief will walk free. All would have been hanged in 25 yrs or doing life and life is life down there. No no this drug addicted fiend if caught, decent lawyer, 5-10 depending on priors primarily that other bombing, news talked about, if theres loose lips or evidence. Doing crime with a partner there is that risk, of the other person ratting on the other. No one is solid any more.

A lot of bomb threats near the end of the semester, it's almost a tradition. At least for learning institutions.

 

I'd like to know which businesses were targeted exactly.

Anything to do with money are targets. Brinks money truck is a common method, because its easy cash if they can access the truck. Banks only hold a certain amount, gotta be in and out fast. 7-11 type stores have limited cash, quite common for drug fiends and gang bangers to get $50 and do life in the USA. Canada its 6 months peeling patatoes. Also if a person drives others to a crime scene, driver also does life. Life is life, not 25 yr and paroled in 12 like Canada.

 

 

I thought you were talking about that E-town bombing, why the switch up?

Bomb threats to schools are done by cowards! That's today's snowflake society!

I don't think these terrorists understand what terrorism means. The very act of sending these threats can be seen as a terrorist act.

LTT forums are about everything, from medical advise to dating advise to vehicles, to which seats to buy, to Moving to the North Pole to see Santa what do I do how much will it cost.

Yeah, the LTT forums can be about loads of different things but I felt that the LTT forums aren't about this sort of thing.

How can a 8000 page thread on cars vs a bombed brinks truck robbery be different?

If you could clarify what you mean by that I'd appreciate it, but anyway from what I can gather I'll say this:

 

1. They're different subjects 

2.  Cars aren't generally seen as being the same sort of thing as truck robberies and bomb threats.

Hope he didn't use Tom's Guide to make the bomb, or it will explode in advertising and fake news.

That is very strange. I know someone who did exactly that and they got 5 years. It's sad what drugs can do to a person.

It is a crime, but to be classified as terrorism is a whole other legal basis.

Definitions of act of terrorism:

Quote

the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.

 

So yes, I'd argue they are terrorists, regardless of what they pretend to be.

Absolutely. I'm not out here to say "Your opinion sucks listen to mine". You can post what you want (as long as it meets community standards)

You however are not the Crown, the crown have their own definitions which are stated in law books.

Canada is not guantanamo!

... Unless the definitions in the "law books" differ greatly from the ones on the Justice website,

https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-46/page-11.html#h-26

I'd say the law is pretty much stating the same thing as the definition I've posted before, except in a lot more words.

Quote

(B) in whole or in part with the intention of intimidating the public, or a segment of the public, with regard to its security, including its economic security, or compelling a person, a government or a domestic or an international organization to do or to refrain from doing any act, whether the public or the person, government or organization is inside or outside Canada, and

(ii) that intentionally

• (A) causes death or serious bodily harm to a person by the use of violence,

• (B) endangers a person’s life,

• (C) causes a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or any segment of the public,

• (D) causes substantial property damage, whether to public or private property, if causing such damage is likely to result in the conduct or harm referred to in any of clauses (A) to (C), or

• (E) causes serious interference with or serious disruption of an essential service, facility or system, whether public or private, other than as a result of advocacy, protest, dissent or stoppage of work that is not intended to result in the conduct or harm referred to in any of clauses (A) to (C),

and includes a conspiracy, attempt or threat to commit any such act or omission, or being an accessory after the fact or counselling in relation to any such act or omission, but, for greater certainty, does not include an act or omission that is committed during an armed conflict and that, at the time and in the place of its commission, is in accordance with customary international law or conventional international law applicable to the conflict, or the activities undertaken by military forces of a state in the exercise of their official duties, to the extent that those activities are governed by other rules of international law. (activité terroriste)

 

A, B and D all match what would happen if a bomb went off and last I checked, sending bomb threads didn't classify as "advocacy, protest, dissent or stoppage of work", hence, it fits the definition of terrorism as per the law.

Multiple media outlets have also been calling it an act of terrorism, so it's not just me.

Perpahs, I dunno but bomb threats are one thing, terrorism is another so I would say it is a high probability that stupid people post shit online, evidence for the Crown. But there is another aspect of law, probability of successful prosecution. Also there is yet another aspect of law, where no ones charged. I see this in police running red lights in order to get to the donut store. Do you think the drivers partner is going to write him up a traffic violation ticket, ha.
