"Weapon of Mass Destruction" Targets Sex Shop In Waldo
Detectives say it's an act of local terrorism. An adult bookstore is cleaning up after a chemical attack by a homemade device that investigators are calling a "weapon of mass destruction."
Don't laugh, this is serious. Someone took it upon themselves to resort to AlQueda tactics to keep porn out of their neighborhood. What is this world coming to?
The Crude but effective Homeade WMD...
Sadly more effective than any found in our expedition to Iraq...
The device, discovered Sunday morning, was made of two gallon-size sports drink jugs connected by hoses. Someone set it on top of the store's window air conditioning unit.
Detectives say that person then strung one hose from a water spigot on the outside of the building, and pushed another hose into the building through a gap above the air conditioner.
"That water hose would churn it up, mix it up in the gallon jug, and enter it into the building," said Alachua County Sheriff's Sergeant Keith Faulk. Investigators say one of the jugs had a harmful substance inside that flowed into the store along with the water.
"We haven't identified what was actually in the bottle, in the system that delivered it into the building. We do know that it was caustic, it was corrosive, it had a high pH level," Faulk said.
Homemade -- but mighty effective -- the device had HAZMAT teams in full gear Sunday morning. By Monday, clean-up teams had stripped the room bare. Everything that was inside is now outside. The contaminated trash filled two dumpsters.
Great, so now our religious right has decided it too can employ terror, kill people, and destroy countless hours and money of our first responders to combat PORN...
Heaven Forbit we actually have a little skin to look at...
Nobody was hurt by the chemical, but investigators say cleaning it up could cost more than $15,000. Add that to the HAZMAT bill of around $15,000, and you can see how costly the event has been.
The scale was small -- only one room was ruined -- but detectives say the punishment will be much more substantial.
Under state law, by the book, deputies say the device is a weapon of mass destruction.
"They're looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, and... 30 years in jail," Faulk said.
"You're trying to hurt people. You're trying to change their ideas or instill fear. And that's exactly what the terrorists do. So this person is a local terrorist," he said.
