White Trash Service Announcement: Don’t smoke around pipe bombs
The Sheriff’s office in Terrebonne Parish, LA reported an incident involving theft, potential domestic terrorism, and…teenage smoking!
Apparently, alleged criminal masterminds Alex Joshua Horn and Johnathan Anthony Porche tipped off police by inquiring about PVC pipe and gun power at a local Wal-mart. (Subtle!)
However, it wasn’t the police that ultimately foiled the alleged bomb plot, but the cherry on Porche’s lit cigarette.
The ash from the teen’s cigarette ignited a bottle filled with gun powder shoplif–I mean, procured from Wal-Mart, causing considerable damage to Porche’s residence and to the boys’ persons.
Perhaps we should listen to our parents when they say things like “don’t smoke; it’s bad for you” or “don’t attempt to make pipe-bombs with stolen explosives, especially if you’re dumb enough to keep an open flame around where you’re making them.”
The youths were treated before they were booked.
I hope they got to take some cigarettes with them to jail–they have a very different importance there.

I’ may not be no Eisenstein, but I feel pretty damn smart up against dudes like these. Perhaps that’s why I write these articles all the time!

Not to get technical, but better for them they got caught. PVC pipe just melts & goes poof. They’d have killed themselves.

My mother said things more like “don’t smoke those, they’re mine”
