I would like to think if they are claiming an explosive device was inert it's not because it was actually empty pipes. What I could buy is that maybe he knew the device wouldn't work and that he was making it to throw into a crowd just to scare them. I still think that's extremely fucked up even if the damage is all psychological. Even if that was the case I think he should get a lot more than 90 days.
That's what "inert" means in bomb-squad talk: "not a bomb." "inert weaponry" means "it looks like a weapon but isn't." And here we are in complete agreement.What I could buy is that maybe he knew the device wouldn't work and that he was making it to throw into a crowd just to scare them.

Alright, that makes more sense. When you said pipe lying around I didn't figure you meant pipe dressed up to look explosive. Mainly I think he should get more because it was would hopefully detract people from copying the guy. On the other hand maybe if that is what happened they made a point not to tell the media every detail so as to detract people from copying... And here we are fucking everything up.
