[MTechnik]

Some sicko put a bomb outside of a parking garage that is just across the street from a YMCA that also does day care.

WTF?

Bomb found at West Chester garage was “designed to injure”

Authorities are working to determine who placed a "dangerous" bomb outside a well-used, downtown West Chester parking garage, prompting building evacuations and detouring traffic for hours Monday

Local police called in the Montgomery County Bomb Squad, which serves the 5-county area. Montgomery County Sheriff John P. Durante, who heads the unit, said officials determined about 1 p.m. that a suspicious package, which had been found earlier by the parking attendant, was a device "that can maim and cause death."

And John T. Hagenman, an spokesman for the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which is involved in the investigation, said the bomb was "designed to injure...this was not a device used by someone who was playing around."

Experts successfully detonated the explosive, Durante said. He said the bomb squad would maintain a presence in the area for at least 24 hours as the investigation proceeds.

"Without getting into any specifics - and certainly we don't want to compromise any ongoing investigation - somebody obviously intended ill harm," said West Chester Police Chief Scott L. Bohn. "It certainly was a dangerous device."

and nope, not a 'stink bomb' or anything 'mischevious'.

Absolutely crazy.

The article says "dangerous" bomb. Am I missing something? Aren't all bombs . . . well . . . dangerous? I thought they caught the "Suburban Bomber" a while back. This seems like it may be related to the YMCA and the children there. I wonder if there is anyone alledging molestation by a staff member.
