“Suspious package”
Man, suspicious packages are bad enough. But these suspious ones are the worst of all.
My puppies could sniff it out.
The homeless folks will get wind of this and run with it. Cops will be finding “unattended suitcases” all over town every time they conduct a sweep.
Invite the Syrians to America and this is what you get.
Mike, did you have your Xanax this morning? I suggest you take it now. Generalized Anxiety Disorder is really insidious.
In a dangerous world, we need to pay attention to our innate instincts.
Could have been Xanax in that suspicious package?
Okay, you win Mike. You even handle snarky comments with equanimity and good humor. I give up in the face of superior insouciance.
Cellodad. I win? I didn’t even know that I was in a competition. Just another day in my retirement life.
Homeless often have suitcases with their belongings. It might have been that. SA does not report the contents.
Cellodad and his DSM-5.
Yeah… like they “behaved” in Germany and other European countries on New Years Eve.
The U.S. media and NO-Bama tried to keep it quiet.
What a crock.
Is Caldwell at the scene?? Or is hiding this one out too? Like he did with Lori Kalikina, the sewage woman, Remember, they when all those sewage spills happened polluting our parks and oceans. I remember walking in Blaisdell park going to my hula lesson, and it was stink over there too. Although it didnnt make the news. Im pretty sure it was sewage spilling on low lieing areas. #VOTEKaaihue2016
My puppies would have ran away from her, too.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the article said what it was. Maybe someone just lost it off the back of their motorcycle or bike or accidentally had it on top of their car.
My question is what made the package, in this case a suitcase, so suspicious? Homeless people pull suitcases all over town, they frequently abandoned them on the street. I don’t understand what me this suitcase so suspicious that warranted a complete shutdown of the major roadway.
Actually, a refugee was balancing the suitcase on his head, when he lost balance and it fell off.
All bull, Just another chinese fire drill. Just another exercise for the first responders to justify their existence.
No way. In China, sweat shops expect you be working every second. No time outs over there.
That is a lot of glass at that corner…….just say’n
Now I know what I look like when I walk my dogs at that corner of town.
Get one suitcase look like that one in the back of Costco in Honolulu with soursap fruit in it.
I learned not to panic when I see thousands of boxes working at the post office.
