Love Bomb?

[Deathtoall 28]

I just read this. The girl way have set off an explosion over a boy in a love triangle. The woman inside was severly hurt and a neighbour was killed. 

What is the world coming to? Can someone really be that jilted over love?

This is incredibly stupid and ridiculous... How could even a bunch of hormone-crazed girls get the idea to blow up half the neighborhood...?

I'm starting to see why some governments are trying to get our Internet activity monitored... If it stops wild, stupid acts like this... Eh.

They say boys will be boys... But who looks at girls these days!?

Hope they find them and send them to Juvie for a while... though I don't know how it works in England...

OMG, yes, people are crazy. Especially when it comes to 'hurted' or neglected love. Seems like people are to self- concentrated and mentally unable to reflect things. Really weird. Yet another proof that people get crazy when their world is turned upside down and they lose control over themselves. An absolute no-go, moreover, in this case, what did the poor 26-year-old neighbor have to do with? I mean, he was killed because of a weird one!!! Naaah, crazy!

Take care everyone... and don't get blasted.

To bumdark: Well, the big question is if governments could ever stop these activities. I doubt it, 'cause if you're willing to do it you find other ways for sure. Governments shouldn't monitore (=control) their citizens, but that's just my personal opinion. Furthermore, I have to admit that we are already controlled enough, but enough of this now.

That story took a while to reach that site. Made the news here last week.

But yes, completely shameful and hopefully they are caught and jailed.

Huh, that must have been one explosive relationship for her to do that...

(sorry, couldn't resist the pun )

[Godzillaman 21]

I love how everyone overreacts these days...

[un1 41]

Why would anybody do that... Love or hatred... No matter who it is just pure idiotic... Even for people who do that for a living...

My 600th Post!!!

Meh. There are far better puns to be had here. This story is practically begging for a joke involving a play on the word "blow".... but that wouldn't exactly be family-friendly humor, so it'll have to make do without (unfortunately).

Can someone explain why women who get jilted by men in love triangles seem to wind up killing someone every time? I've heard of other situations where the guy gets involved in the love triangle, and the women has always killed him for it. I understand getting cheated on hurts, but is there something about it being a love triangle?

"every time"?  "always"?  I think not.  If that was the case, we wouldn't have to worry about overpopulation.   Some women are as psychotic as Glen Close in Fatal Attraction but most are not.

Relationships can be dangerous.  Sad but true.  Unfortunately, the leading case of death among pregnant American women is homicide at the hands of the baby's father.  Sick but true.

This is just sad. Unfortanitly, this is the reality in which we live.

Frankly I don't get it, if you're mature enough to date, then you should

A. See it wise not to cheat

B. Handle a break up well, and now blow up the neighborhood!

Actually, your comment highlights why I was asking.  I was talking specifically about love triangles, not general infidelity.  (Men and women cheat on their spouse about 50% of the time, so the numbers don't support the idea that cheating on your spouse will get you killed all the time.)  However, I have heard of 4 other cases involving love triangles, and in every one, the woman killed her husband for it.  This is the first time that I've heard of a love triangle that didn't result in the death of the (presumably) unfaithful male.  That's not to say that the route the two females took didn't turn deadly.

I feel more sorry for the innocent people who's lives were turned upside down.

I'm don't I understand your question.  It seems to imply that a man with both a wife and a mistress is not in a love triangle unless he gets killed.  I'm missing something here.

[hym 358]

Thanks for the help, but nevermind. It would seem that I had something explained to me incorrectly, which led to a confusion on terminology. Question withdrawn.

[Micah 16]

I guess they don't have love triangles on other planets...

Anyway, this sort of reminds me of that astronaut love triangle, except the wife wasn't trying to kill the husband but rather the other woman.

weird. I figure the vapors would have had to settled into maybe a crawl space or something where it was not detected for it to blow that block to pieces like that.

Anyways all that sounds like a very movie-esque way to rob a bank to me....

Er, you're contradicting yourself there. Vapors come from volatile substances. Meaning, they do the opposite of settle.

No, the stuff must have become fairly well mixed with the air. You can set off some real nasty explosions like that with a flammable gas. And the thing is, many highly volatile and flammable substances are odorless, so you wouldn't smell them to know something wasn't right. One of those substances? Natural gas. "But wait", you say, "natural gas has that stinky smell to it". No it doesn't. That's not natural gas you're smelling when you "smell gas". It's the stuff they put in natural gas to give it that distinct smell. Because otherwise it's odorless- and it's preferable that something potentially dangerous like that be immediately detectable by human sensory functions.

Anyways, somehow I don't think the perpetrators here realized just how big an explosion they were going to set off. Amateurs don't know how to properly measure and gauge things, and often will thus end up overdoing it. Murder may not have been their intent, either. They may have thought that the stuff would catch fire soon after it was poured through and that it would be an issue of simple arson, not a big kaboom.

Still, until the demolition crew is caught and questioned, we won't know what they really intended to do.

No, I mean they are heavier than air so they sank into the area under the house where they did not disperse, so that must be how the place blew up 10 hours later and not immediately?

[Hahayoudied 3]

Geez, how much gas did the insane girl pour in the house?

[coolotter88 2]
