Boston cops blow-up suspected "pedestrian counter" just in case

[Ian David]

BOSTON -- The bomb squad destroyed a suspicious package in downtown Boston.

Police found the small, green box on the ground in the Financial District Wednesday morning.



Investigators believe it was a pedestrian counter, but the bomb squad destroyed it as a precaution.

No one was hurt, and no businesses needed to be evacuated.

2. No one in Boston could identify a pedestrian counter?

Now, if this was in Houston or LA, I could understand it...since there are no pedestrians in either place.

But Boston?

What the hell is going on there?

3. Are they going to threaten the Streets Department?

Will they pay a $2 million "fine" like Turner did?

If everyone with extreme terror-phobia would just hide in their basements for the next 20 years and leave us alone, we could become a normal country again.

4. Thanks to The Mooninites, The Boston Bomb Squad has an extra million dollars to spend.

If they don't want to lose their budget, they'd better spend a bunch of money blowing stuff up "as a precaution."

5. Why'd they blow it up?

It didn't feature a cartoon character flipping you off.
