Operating from his crime lab/Daddy's Man Room, Gun Counter Gomer assembles all of the evidence at hand (in this case: pictures from the Islamoloving NYT) and, using his amazing powers of deduction, solves the Case of the Time Square Bomber. Or, at least, gives Homeland Security some pretty strong leads
From the choice of target, lack of shrapnel, and low amount of explosives used, I think it only logical to conclude that the blast was political in nature, a violent though purposefully less-lethal bomb, if you can ever call an improvised explosive device "less lethal." For these reasons, I doubt it was the act of Islamic extremists.
This was an act of domestic terrorism.
I do not, however, feel comfortable blaming any specific anti-war group for this act, or even pinning this as an anti-war act at this point in time.
Anti-war groups, in general, are non-violent in nature, and those that lean towards the anarchist fringe that are violence prone tend towards vandalism, and generally, don't have the technical expertise to manufacture even such a simple device.
Whoever built this bomb may have sympathies towards the anti-war movement and/or anti-military feelings, but I would be surprised to find them affiliated officially with any specific anti-war or anti-military group, and would be even more surprised if anyone inside one of these groups had advance knowledge of the attack.
Is it any wonder more people turn to the internets for their information?
Sleep well citizens. This has been another episode of CSI: Hooterville.

Making Barney Fife look like a crimestopper of awesome proportions.
A truly dazzling display of ass-wipery.
Next up: Gomer ties the NYC device to a plot to destroy his new grill (which would strike a devastating blow against the barbecue-loving people of the world.)
Damn, Sherlock. When you’re done basking in the glow of your own awesomeness, perhaps you could deal with that anthrax case that the Feds seem to have dropped like a hot tamale.
Tell us, oh, Gomer the Great, was it just pixie dust or peruvian marching powder spread by well-wishers, or something more sinister?
“This was an act of domestic terrorism.”
Nah, it’s obvious it was just some lovers’ quarrel. Probably Spanish-speakers.
“. . . don’t have the technical expertise to manufacture even such a simple device.”
You would be astonished at how wrong you are, Gomer. And not all those buying weapons from you are your friends.
Goddam fucking retard. I knew there were life forms among us which thrive on nitrogen.
You know, it was John Cole who said this first, but it’s so awesome that people have this much technical expertise and can talk about throw weights and bullet calibers and metallurgy when they need to, and when you tell them Rudy Giuliani charged his city for his mistress-banging and St. McCain sits on corporate jets with his wallet hanging open they’re all “Huh? What? I don’t understand. It’s all so COMPLICATED!”
Come on, ol’ South Bob is on top of things people, he can divine intention, the chemical makeup of the explosive, the casing it was housed in, and probably whether the person who tossed it did it with a left hand or a right hand, and that’s just from his goddamned keyboard.
Never underestimate the powers of the wingnutosphere …

Shorter Gomer: “I have no fucking clue….excuse me a second: “Welcome to Walmart!”….no fucking clue what happened or who did it.”
Inspector Gomer is on the case, and, in the update on his post, Detective Sergeant Ass of Spades nails down the evidence against the anti-war movement. ON THIS VERY DAY IN 1970 some Weather Underground guys blew themselves up with a homemade bomb. The connection is irrefutable, proved by geometric logic.

Uh, no thank you!
don’t have the technical expertise to manufacture even such a simple device
WTF? me and my friends were making homemade explosives in 8th grade. there’s plenty of that magic BANG in a box of shotgun shells, if you’re too lazy to mix up your own black powder. now sure, we never tried to blow up a building, but we certainly blew up all our little brothers’ toys.
That 8-ball did wonders, Sherlock.
I saw that as well Von, and for a moment I thought about tagging along, maybe with some McVeigh, or an abortion clinic bombing, but what the fuck good would it do?
These clowns are so bereft of common sense they make “undecided” voters appear wise.
Gooooollllly. That is some good ciphering. Who would play Gomer if there were an actual CSI:Hooterville? My vote would be Dwight Schrute from ‘The Office’. Or George W.

If this turns out to be the work of a tennis ball cannon, I’ll take full responsibility.
If it turns out to be a potato gun, I’ll never sleep well again.
If this turns out to be the work of a tennis ball cannon,
well, pipe bombs, actually. but they were small-gauge pipes and we only used them as big-ass firecrackers.
I have it on good authority that the real target was the NY Post stand outside the recruiting station.
Damn, this guy is good. he fantastically came up with all that from his basement barcolounger with just a few pictures.
Shit, next thing you know he will be turning his amazing talents towards diagnosing vegetative state patients by video from thousands of miles away.
Wait, that trick’s been done.
“This was an act of domestic terrorism.”
Nah, it’s obvious it was just some lovers’ quarrel. Probably Spanish-speakers.
Nah, Hispanics wouldn’t be caught dead in such unfashionable footwear. At least we can rest easy that wearing clodhoppers like those, the “perps” won’t get far on foot!
Wait-a-minute! Big-ass ugly boots? ZOMG!1!!! Meghan McCain?
