Man Charged With Rigging Bomb In Sex Toy
WASECA, Minn. (WCCO) — A Waseca man is accused of planting an explosive device inside a sex toy intended for one of his ex-girlfriends.
According to the criminal complaint, 37-year-old Terry Allen Lester has been charged with felony counts of creating an explosive device and making terroristic threats.
The incident was reported on New Year’s Day. Authorities said Lester had been staying with the apparent intended victim and another woman.
He had been forced to leave the apartment by the landlord but left behind bags, one of which contained a container marked “Christmas Gifts.”
Lester allegedly mentioned to one of the two roommates his intentions, so they reported their suspicions about the bags to police.
The criminal complaint says police found a sex toy inside the package that had been modified with gun powder and buck shot, which were connected to a trigger inside the battery port.
Comments
Incorrect.
The buckshot would've made decent shrapnel, but since the article named the explosive as "gun powder" I can be fairly sure that the device was full of DBSP (Double Base Smokeless Powder, the propellant used in modern bullets. While it produces more gas than traditional black powder, it burns much slower without the proper conditions) meaning the dude just emptied a few shotgun shells into a vibrator and expected it to work.
Extrapolating from his failure to understand basic explosives, I can also assume his ignition system was probably shit as well. People that fail due to lack of research in one aspect of a project usually have research issues with all aspects of the project.
Like the guy who put a bag of fertilizer, firecrackers and a propane tank in his truck and expected it to go boom.
Exactly. People see things on the news about how (successful) bombings were done with "fertilizer" and expect that it's that easy. They don't realize the complex chemistry and physics required to actually make something explode.
To be fair, the police are not going to tell the press that he put it in a sealed sleeved metal tube, but then, if he had done that he would have no need for the shot.
I bet the 'trigger mechanism' was a couple of wires that he was hoping 3v would jump across and make a spark - he would have been very lucky for that to work.
I dont know why he did not just take a shotgun to her vag.

Well done, Sir. If only I thought of this for my Ex. She'd jump on just about anything. Fuck, wouldn't even have to disguise the C4. Just mould it into a cock shape and Robert is your Mother's Brother.
Brings new meaning to EXPLOSIVE ORGASM!
