Just heard on the radio this morning some local doctors house was raided this morning and they found what they call a "serious arsenal" which included c-4, 50 cals, and other items. once the full story hits the web I will post it here for anyone interested. They never did mention why they raided the guys house.

    updated story


    Pinellas County Sheriff's deputies have made a disturbing discovery. Several homemade bombs were found inside a townhouse on Seminole Boulevard.

    Robert Goldstein was in his home threatening suicide Thursday night. Deputies were able to talk Goldstein out of taking his own life. Deputy Cal Dennie says "Upon doing so, deputies found an excess of 20 weapons inside, semi-automatic weapons. We found a five-gallon gasoline bomb with a timer and wires attached. Beside that particular device, we found five or six other packages, square in shape with timers on them also."



    These are the suspicious packages found in the home.
    Deputies say they also found diagrams showing how to make a bomb on one of the walls.

    The Sheriff's Office Bomb Disposal Team and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were called in to assist and investigate.

    Deputies evacuated about 30 people in surrounding townhouses.

    Goldstein was taken to Morton Plant Mease Hospital under the Baker Act. The Baker Act is a Florida law police can use to detain someone who may have poor mental health. Usually, officers will have to determine if the person is going to be a danger to themselves or someone else. The Baker Act is valid for seven days

    greetings, rugster, don't believe all the hype about the destructive force of explosives. most is hollywood bs. explosives are like people and go with the least resistence. i have been dealing with kinny stick, prima cord, nitro base dynomite, and ammatol in preps of bridge foundations and deck removals for years. with proper drilling and adobing they can be very destructive against reinforsed stations, but the forse of a open blast is pure hollywood. respt submitted dads-freehold
