Any chance the hypergolic mixture the cops were talking about was really tannerite? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannerite
No. A hyperbolic mixture needs no ignitor, just dump the two components together. I actually wonder if that un-named LEO really knows what a hyperbolic explosive is, or was just getting creative. Not at all a normal use. ETA: Looks like either I mis-spelled hypergolic, or someone edited it. (Most likely the former. Rats, make the whole post nonsensical.)
http://news.yahoo.com/shooting-suspect-gun-club-membership-rejected-184224473.html This is the kind of citizen we need to be, Aware. When you identify a Nutbag, don't give him the opportunity to join your group and exploit your experience for consequential actions they may take!! Nice to hear the gun club was paying attention and made the right call on not allowing him to join. Maye be the lack of training at this club, with guys to coach on various techniques, such as clearing a jam in his AR, saved a life or two. Maybe if there had a been a couple of other "opportunites" someone could have got this guy pinched before he snapped!!
Maybe he was trying to say that whatever the media says is "hyperbolic," which would be a true statement.
I am not a tannerite user, but if the nutbag did use it, I don't expect it to be available to the general public for long.
I dont understand why you would have to be some college educated brainiac to build sofisticated explosive devices,or volitile mixtures that go boom,or make fire. My friends,and I were fiddling with stuff like that,all the way back when I was in the 5th grade. If you're literate,good with detail,and can follow instructions.Everything you need to know,learn,or buy can be found on the web. $20K?? For that kinda money,enough stuff could have been purchased to level half the city,detonated with a $10 watch.All while the perp is on a plane headed to live with his family's relatives in Turkey. The whole scenario as it went down,stinks to high heaven if you ask me. Matt
Tannerite needs to be shot with a bullet of sufficient velocity to make the combined compounds explode. Until then it's quite stable. He could have found plenty of reactive chemicals locally. He was crazy, not stupid....surely he could use Google, or watch instructive You-tube video's. HD
SS, I Would believe that it could be as you surmise... That the LEO, was talking out of his Hat.... Certainly if he was leaking information.... I think it is a case of... If you know what was the deal, you would NOT be talking, and if your "Taking" You do not have a Clue.... .
BT I heard the AR jammed due to the 100 round mag, I guess Beta Mag, I have a couple of these and if you don't put the graphite lube in them and work it in they will jam. I would almost bet he got the mag and trashed the tube thinking the mag was done at the factory. I just seen on fox where they are throwing it out that the mag he used would have been illegal to owne under the new law that is waiting to be passed which will also ban these type of assault weapons.
Alpha Dog use caution about spreading rumors. I it is a fact and you are able to post a link great but, it not it is just storing the shit pot. Improvise, Adapt, Modify, and Overcome. FTM/PTB
"Street cred" on this board goes a long way and Alpha Dog is not known to start BS rumors. If you weren't a nOOb, you would know that.

I saw this late last night while on break: http://now.msn.com/westboro-baptist-church-plans-to-picket-aurora-memorial Those scum will be there telling everyone how "God" wanted this to happen because he hates us.
its too bad the Westboro wasn't watching that movie that night instead of the victims shot and killed.
Too bad it wasn't a group of second amendment activists. Ten the ending would be vastly different. Improvise, Adapt, Modify, and Overcome. FTM/PTB
Seems much of the early Reporting has been found to be not very accurate.... I see where the 100Rd Drum has now been identified as being found on the floor of the theater.... Ok I got that wrong... and the Perp. was arrested, out by his vehicle... Shotgun first, the AR, then pistol.... and he apparently only had ONE pistol , during the shooting, and was unArmed, when arrested.
