The bombs are 100% fake


They arent a hoax unless the maker deliberately made them in his mind to be fake and fool others into thinking they were real

, what I'm saying is that the only criteria that has to be met for the bombs to be hoaxes is for him to make people believe they were bombs even if they were not.

If the bombs weren't real, then they were successful hoaxes, by definition.

This is not true.


It is absolutely true.

a.k.a., the criteria that would have been met by sending fake bombs, if indeed they were fake.

Read the words, my man. You're fricking up a rather simple definition.

This means he would have had to intentionally make them as fakes to be a hoax.

I agree. Yet here you are, acting a plumb fool

You just said they were "100% fake." Ergo, the bombs were hoaxes, because they fooled others into thinking they were real.

Hey Snowflake the white powder in some packages was not anthrax or ricin......

Pipebombs idiot are made of steel pipe these bombs were made of PCV pipe which means even if they were wired to explode( which in truth they were not ) PCV pipe will not cause combustible pressure explosion........


The crazy guys who made the pressure cooker bombs in Boston knew to get explosive pressure you have to use a steel enclosed material..... had they put all their material in a plastic sealed box limited damage would have resulted.....

Grow a brain..... these bombs were as much a hoax as was the white powder

He was competent enough to come up with this plan, get the addresses of all the recipients, mail or deliver them without arousing suspicion, but not competent enough to watch a YouTube video on how to build a bomb
So you think making a working bomb is as simple as mailing a letter?

Hoax requires intent to deceive. It's in the definition you posted.

I enjoy wordsmithing and am quite good at it.

You're demonstrating some significant shortcomings in that department because you want to push a narrative. Then try to tell me I'm incorrect. That's humorous

Right. However, if he attempted to make operational bombs and just failed, then it isn't a hoax device it is a failed attempt to make an explosive device.

It is not logically debatable at this point


It is holding on to a crazy idea that the FBI is lying to America in on a giant conspiracy with the democrats to make Trump look bad


Its almost as dumb as saying Trump wants to kill all gays and blacks
