12-year-old was killed after a grenade likely bought at an antique mall exploded

12-year-old was killed after a grenade likely bought at an antique mall exploded

A 12-year-old in Virginia was killed by an exploding grenade investigators believe was bought from an antique mall in North Carolina, and now authorities are warning others may have been sold and could be live.

The grenades were thought to be chemically inactive Mk 2 grenades, a style used during World War II, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

The child was killed on December 23 by an exploding grenade that ATF believes was bought on June 13 from the Fancy Flea Antique Mall in Shallotte, North Carolina.

Damn.

Rule of thumb, if it isn't drilled out and obviously empty assume it is not a novelty.

Should the Capitol Police

Be relieved of all security duties until a full investigation into their failures can be completed?

If so, what agency should handle security in the interim?

9/11/2001 Osama bin Laden sends terrorists in a hijacked plane

to attack the US Capitol. United Airlines flight 93 fails to reach its target.

1/6/2021 Donald Trump sends terrorists on foot to attack the US Capitol. They succeed.

There are certain words I do not use lightly

So I will refer to the written definition:

Article III Section 3

Clause 1

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.


I would say violently entering the center of the US government, using weapons within the building and forcing Congress to flee is sufficient to be called "levying War."
