"pressure-producing devices"

Investigators trying to unravel the cause of mysterious North Side explosion noises said this afternoon they found several "pressure-producing devices" that could have been used to create the booming heard over the past month.

He ( Richmond Fire Capt. Mike Martin )described the objects found as "sort of an explosive device," but "more of a pressure-producing device." He said the objects are designed to create sound, and "damage if you are close to it." He said it was possible but generally unlikely that the items could be considered lethal.

The pressure-producing devices, he said, would not create "a crater," but rather a "large amount of noise." Asked to describe the devices, Martin said they could be as small as four to five inches in diameter, or up to a foot. He said he knew of no known commercial applications for such equipment.

He indicated the items could have been home-made, but declined to answer further questions about their nature, citing the police investigation.

it's because of some fucked-up thing like this? :shrug:

to scare away the birds. My "Mr.Fix it" co-worker told me that as soon as I told him about the information in the post two above yours.

See xpunkisneatx 's post. No one around here figured that out until today.

But describing it as more racist that most places on the planet would be accurate. Both the police and the people are predominantly bigots, it seems.

are you are gonna piss off two DU'ers.

I got pulled over in Richmond for Driving While White

in the 'wrong' neighborhood of course :eyes:

Most of them recognize how racist a lot of this city is.

I've had nothing but wonderful experiences with the Richmond police. Of course, I'm white. My black girlfriend, her black friends, and several of my black friends will tell you a completely different story...
