I don't know. Nothing on CNN, MSNBC, or Fox. Gonna check twitter.

EDIT: Nothing from twitter.com/breakingnews as of yet.

What?!? I have friends there right now, as well! I'll send a text message. Also don't see any news on local sites.

ETA: oh sorry, they are at the Coliseum...

I don't know but I love the Portland Trail-Blazers and almost saw Ozzy there once (he moved his show to the Memorial Coliseum).

I hope this isn't one of those "so it begins..." threads.

And so it begins....



But honestly, I hope nothing comes of it, which I bet will. I don't get why a bomber would make a threat, or allow for one to be made, if he was planning something.

Yeah I never understood that in High School either. Um, students, a bomb threat has been called in...sigh, again. Just blow it up then don't tell us, lol. But I guess then they wouldn't get out of school so

EDIT: Still nothing on any news service I'm looking at.

The reason they did a threat is because the kids got out of school lol Maybe this guy just forgot it was friday and he wasn't at a school lol

lol yeah I acknowledged that was probably why

Can't find anything on MSM or Twitter

EDIT: Komodo are you still on the phone with your wife? What's going on?

Nah, nothing that I can find on any of the local news online sites, yet.



ETA: this is it, just a news flash, but no info to click on:

If news reporters are there thats quick!

And someone would probably be reporting it....

Is something up today there?

I mean what are they going to do blow up 7000 roses and make a nice smell?

Plenty of fertiliser I suppose, maybe of the excrement kind to coming from male cows,

Well hoping so anyhow.

Elf

she says they found a device TAPED to a bathroom wall and it took the bomb squad an HOUR to get there ..

they postponed the Women of Faith event till tomorrow morning..8am-5pm instead of 9a-4pm.

that's all i know.. hopefully the news will pick it up more.. and give more details ..

thx for the replies all i'll keep watch on the thread..

Eh, ok, nothing to worry about then. Every single suspicious package turns out to be someones backpack or fannypack they left behind.

yea.. but it was TAPED to the wall .. indicating deliberate attempt.. IMO ..

Freaky. Hope it was just some security guard's heroin stash *just speculating*

Least they found it and bomb squad's on the scene...

Are you really this lame, Elf?
The Rose Garden is an Arena /Coliseum that the TrailBlazers play at and also hosts other events like concerts etc.
