Fraud and crime is like breathing to DJT. Literally his life blood.

Secret police and secret courts get no sympathy from me.

Reply to comment by EmbarrassedHelp in Ecuadorian TV presenter wounded by bomb disguised as USB stick by AudibleNod
There has been an influx of military grade equipment coming in from Mexico the last few years, Uber driver rumors of armored personnel carriers and more. Just last October Guayaquil had a slew of car bombs and coordinated attacks in the middle of the city. Strange times as historically Ecuador's role in the drug trade was almost entirely money laundering as they use the U$D in place of their own currency, but that's no longer the case.

In the early 90's, an attorney in South Africa investigating death squads was assassinated with a bomb hidden in a pair of headphones that he received in the mail.
It was referenced in a play I was watching, and something about it just stuck with me.

The USB killer thing was done at a college in my region a few years ago. Former student went through the computer labs and killed 66 computers, then bugged out to North Carolina. He was seen and identified using the surveillance cameras, though, and arrested, convicted, and sent to prison.

I don't - it may be small beer, but I was literally blown off my bike this morning, and I've a lot less area to pick up the wind.

>non government entity can find explosives powerful enough to do serious damage when hidden in a USB stick.
The cartels have some access to some pretty nasty stuff. And, if it went off as soon as the victim plugged it in, I bet you could really screw up their hand. Maybe their face depending on how close they were.

Nah, so many people are convinced the "mainstream media" is lying to them because of multiple lavishly funded multi-decade propaganda campaigns.

We have 10k tanks. Our combat power comes from annihilating anything that moves with airpower and guided artillery. We can spare out mothballed tanks.

Ignoring nuance to make a forced point is annoying af. Going to a 2,601 ft mountain with runs as long as 1.7 miles, maintained to insure high speeds for snow sports is not the same as your average mid western sledding hill. Yes, you CAN hurt yourself doing damned near anything but some contexts afford greater opportunities obviously.

They were the unfortunate ones that dont make it but this happens more frequently than most realize. The survivors of stunts like this either count themselves lucky and change their behavior or get such a thrill that they seek out more.
