Times Square Bomber

by Jeff on

I would like to preface this article by first stating that I love America and thank God no one was hurt in the recent bombing of Times Square.

Having said that, is it just me, or is that guy clearly a horrible terrorist? I mean, he manages to get his bomb into Times Square, detonate it, and make a clean getaway, but he couldn’t even injure anyone? He barely even hurt the door the bomb went off in front of. A few broken windows, nothing serious. The guy must have taken the short bus to his terrorist boot camp of choice.

I think whoever is responsible for this most heinous of crimes should consider another line of work, because terrorism is not his niche. If he went to careerbuilder.com he would have to click “no” when asked if he could injure someone with a bomb in the busiest block in the world. Anyone that clicks no to that question is automatically ruled out for terror related professions and immediately routed to waste management.

Next time someone sets off an explosive device in the most crowded place in this hemisphere, I expect some results.

Whiny inmate

I worked at a prison as a corrections officer (prison guard) and there was a particular inmate there who always complained about everything. For three months I endured his rants on how the lights were too bright, the rooms too hot, the blankets too scratchy, and so on. Obviously this is prison and no one gets luxury accommodations. I reached the end of my rope one morning... Read More » when I had to go down the run and wake him up at 7 AM for transport somewhere else in the state for a medical procedure. The guy is all grumpy, complaining about how I'm getting him up at the "ass crack of dawn." He demanded to be allowed time to take a shower, heat and drink some coffee and have a smoke. The van taking him away was already waiting for him and I knew for a fact that he'd taken a shower before going to bed the night before. I told him there wasn't time for any of that, he just had to get dressed and get to the van. He begins swearing and ranting about how inhumanely we were treating him and after months of his complaints I couldn't hold it in anymore. "I know, it sucks how early you have to get up to get your free medical care, huh?" I told him. He was immediately silent . He got dressed and left in a huff. I later found out how he wrote a grievance to the warden about my comment. Inmate complaints are occasionally reason for worry, so I was nervous when the warden called me in to his office. It turned out he just thought my comment was hilarious and told me to keep up the good work.
