San Mateo County Times/Erin Ivie, 3/13/14. "San Francisco police arrest tow on suspicion of making bombs in Pacifica, San Pablo."
"SAN

Francisco police last week after investigators uncovered a horde of more
than 600 explosives that "could have leveled their homes and damaged
surrounding neighborhoods," authorities said.

"The men, 37-year-old Sean Patrick Gunther of San Pablo and 47-year-old Marc Steven Ormando of Pacifica, were arrested March 6, following an undercover operation that spanned several months and involved multiple agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals, said Sgt. Danielle Newman, a San Francisco police spokeswoman."
Sacramento Bee/Associated Press/Terry Collins, 3/13/14. "2 arrested after explosives found in San Francisco." .... "These were not firecrackers we're talking about here," police Sgt. Danielle Newman said. "They had enough material that if something occurred in either one of their homes, it would've been catastrophic for the surrounding areas." .... The men pleaded not guilty to the charges in court on Monday. Ormando and Gunther were being held at the San Francisco jail on bail of $2.75 million and $1.5 million, respectively, the Sheriff's Department said. Both were due in court again on Friday."

West Fairway Park neighborhood.
Seaside Drive according to channel 2 news this morning.
A buddy of mine in LE just told me about this. He said for every one of these nuts they catch there are probably 50 to 100 out there.
Expect more and more of these kinds of things, people are getting more and more annoyed with our failure of a government.
Most likely his collection has nothing to do with not liking government and just to do with collecting. But, if government continues on this path of confiscating of private property , than you might start to see a backlash. This post might piss off some people, but soon it will be knives and bats confiscated, or cars, trucks, dogs who poop.
920, thankfully the government confiscated all the private bomb making and interrupted the potential havoc this criminal intended. "They had enough material that if something occurred in either one of their homes, it would've been catastrophic for the surrounding areas." (Police Sgt. Danielle Newman).
The issue is very serious: bombs, not "dogs who poop".
Not that this wasn't very serious, but these were fireworks 8:22. More to do with profit than attacking the government. You might see a few less big boomers in Pacifica this 4th though.
"Confiscating private property"??? The police should confiscate any explosives they find. They're illegal.
A person who has a couple guns is either a collector or hunter. A guy who has a hundred guns is a lunatic.
Hutch, go back and re-read the articles and figure out how much strong and more lethal these bombs are.
Hutch 1042, if fireworks, illegal fireworks on steroids? "The devices found in Gunther and Ormando's homes had a pyrotechnic weight "in the hundred of thousands" of milligrams, exceeding the legal limit for pyrotechnics thousands of times over, Newman said." (from the article).
Of course, they also were housing other illegal enterprises. A guy's got to make a living.
Another Pacifica business bites the dust. In this case, plenty of competitors to fill the void.
