The Patriot Ledger: An Abington [Massachusetts] man is being charged with creating bombs at his former address in Abington after police had been told the man was blowing up snow banks to avoid shoveling the snow. ...
According to [Abington Police Chief David] Majenski, police were told [Leo J. Powers, 23,] had devised a way to use the materials to blow up snow banks instead of shoveling the snow and had been doing it for some time.
Majenski said when police and fire officials arrived at the house, they discovered a container filled with 'military-grade ammunition and other stuff, including powders of some sort.'”
Eric says: Yeah, after I hurt my back shoveling snow my first thought was, "Hey, maybe a homemade bomb would be easier and safer."
I'm glad I live in an apartment so someone else can worry about snow removal. Hope they don't blow my building up though...
