Starbucks Bomb
So I guess some home-grown terrorists wanted to blow up a Starbucks:

And despite SF being liberal (to the point of self-destruction according to some of you), the well made bomb was found and defused before any explosion occured.

Good for them! Thank goodness nobody was injured.
Someone notified management of a suspicious device and the police force that San Franciscans hate defused the bomb.
I don't know why this was made into a partisan issue... identifying something as suspicious has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative. Had it really mattered you still assume there aren't any conservatives in SF that purchase coffee from starbucks, or any that use their restrooms. I personally enjoy their coffee from time to time.
Sounds more like a disgruntled shop owner or even someone that hates corporations planted some sort of fragmentation device...
Had it went off I’m sure everyone’s Apple computer screen would have deflected the small pieces of porcelain shrapnel from penetrating their hemp clothing.

I didn't mean my post to be so partisan (it is now that I reread it, sorry). I just wanted to point out some terrorism that had nothing to do with 9/11, the middle east, or any type of jihad.

Well of course! This attack seems like it was started out of jealousy from a small shop owner, or from someone that despises the evil empire (probably a lot of those in the Bay Area).
The point a lot of us try to make here is that these types of attacks are a very small drop in the huge bucket Islamo-fanaticism has to offer.
