Suspicious Man In Inflatable Boat With Unknown Device Chained To Neck Close To Surrey, VA Nuclear Power Plant Scrambles Bomb Squad, Sniper Team
From NBC:
Suspicious Man Reported Near Va. Nuke Plant
A man in a boat has a suspicious device attached to himself several miles away from the nuclear power plant in Surry, Va., according to officials.
A Virginia State Police representative said that there is a man on a boat or a raft on the James River, according to WTVR-TV in Richmond.
John Bull of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission said that the Surry nuclear power plant is about 2.5 miles away from where the man is, and that there is no indication that the plant is a target.
The man is in an inflatable boat and drifting with the current, Bull said. He has a metal chain around his neck and the chain is attached to a black box.
At 7 a.m. a commercial crabber was tending to his crabs and noticed the man in the inflatable raft. He went closer but not too close and asked if the man needed assistance, Bull said. The man reportedly said no.
The crabber notified authorities. The Coast Guard and Virginia Marine Police responded immediately.
Bull said officials have a bomb squad and snipers near the scene out of caution. He said they have tried talking to the man, and that he is coherent and lucid at times, but that it does not last for long.
The airspace around the incident is closed, according to WBBT in Richmond, and boaters are being rerouted around the scene.

DSK got released already?
I was thinking it might be an attempt for campaign publicity by Newt Gingrich. He opens the box and a flag comes out which says "Boom!!". Then says "My third wife told me this gag wouldn't work".
Ty-D-Bol guy's GPS malfunctioning. No worries...

Al Gore and his "lock box".
Was he masturbating? Could just be a fetish...
Probably John Edwards. He was looking a tad distraught the other day.
nah, "He said they have tried talking to the man, and that he is coherent and lucid at times, but that it does not last for long." he's probably a Merican:-)
Sounds like every member of Congress, except the ones who are never coherent or lucid.
I hope that isn't Gore's lockbox with our social security money, or we're all in deep shit.
All is well
The terrorist has been apprehended.
"The Coast Guard says the box turned out to be full of wet sand."

I hope they're testing that sand for anthrax.
I just thank god for the men and women in uniform who are ordered to guard us from dangerous meneses like this, and that is why I feel so strongly about regulating or banning sand and rubber boats.
If the tight wads in Washington would free up more money, we could properly combat this sort of threat.
Yes I demand a committee investigation immediately! If there isn't one, form it. And fund it. Job creation! /sarcasm off
At this time, we are unable to confirm or deny that this was a retributive response to the recent actions of North Carolina in enacting a highly-repressive ban on the serving of rare meat in restaurants.
Intelligence is still being gathered...

Richmond will rise again! Errr...
Instead of dropping him with a bullet that costs less than a dollar, we will spend hundreds of thousands on capture, court and "treatment". All at public expense.
Lolwut? Prez Obama? Izdatchu?
High-quality rifle ammo can cost as much as $5/round.
Just sayin.
$5? try $10 - $15 and well beyond for the really good millitary stuff!
Try ammoseek.com
Fuck it, might as well use a Tomahawk. If it's good enough for the Libyans, it's good enough for our own domestic terrorists.
That would make an awesome video.
i'm curious why riding in a rubber boat with a box of wet sand chained to one's neck while intermittently lucid merits death. just asking. i realize our fearful leader claims unlimited power in this area as he is a (former) constitutional law professor.
Yep - Tomahawk crashing on top of rubber-dingy and exploding a full second before impact like proper American-made vehicles does. Make it stealth so it will crash harder ;-)

The "really good stuff" the military has never heard of.
And will never have.
Right, if you see a guy in an inflatable dingy, first response should be a sniper bullet to the head.

Don't worry. It's just me. The black box has my lunch in it.
(H/T to WilliamBanzai7)
:D
SheepDog Johnson and the DotnotFeather Guy are right! I'm especially glad the kids here were able to hear this as well. Not only was it solid ZH dark humor gibberish, but they managed to respond without resorting to /sarc tag.
Kidding aside I sure as hell hope it was just morbid jesting you rebuked.
damn ..............
he looks the lean and hungry type...ideal target!
I recognize this guy. Had a blind date with him.
cute. enjoyed it.
But why is crap like this "news" report from NBC even on ZH?
Just what I was thinking SD1. And then you got a junk.
I tell ya, between seeing how many regulars here listen to Rush and comments like this.... maybe the only ads needed on ZH are NRA and Glock? Eh?
Kill the guy indeed, jungle justice, coward style.

There was a 'skin head' type on a thread this morning saying the source of all US problems is "civil rights" (for blacks). They are all here -- all the nutjobs -- mingling with the sane.
not all problems but many. The entire diversity movement has been an unmitigated disaster.
Angela Merkel? Is that you?
Nice tits!
Why wouldn't you just shoot the raft and make him swim for it???
no way
Agreed, that's just how they fish in VA.
Excuse me, but dynamite is the preferred method in VA. We learned everything we know about fishing from our friends in North Carolina.
Ha!
Haha. CD, we just fish smarter down here instead of harder.
My uncle in the NW was telling me they go by the name of "Dow Spinners" out there.

Eat fish taken from the James river at your own peril. Back in the 80's some nice little company up in Richmond dumped tons of toxic kepone in the river. Its still in the river bed.
Between Surry (no e) and Jamestown, the only way across the river is by ferry. They won't build a bridge because they don't want to stir all that crap up.

Japanese governments FAQs for People Living Outside the Fukushima Evacuation and In-house Evacuation Areas
Click the link below to read an incredible work of misinformation that will surely--at a future point in time--become forensic evidence used in a lawsuit against TEPCO and the Japanese government for criminal negligence.
By using this document, the Japanese government is trying to talk down the Fukushima problem and assure people that there is absolutely nothing to worry about, which we know is total hogwash because even small dosages of radiation are said not to be safe (and the dosages Japanese are getting are NOT small). Some of the goggle translated 22 FAQs and answers include (read here):

Deploy a nuclear device above him.
Conveniently no mention of this at other MSM networks. Ploy by NBC to boost ratings? What is their leverage like?
Seems quite odd, what is the government up to this time? Got to keep the fear factor high.
http://silverliberationarmy.blogspot.com/
The guy was probably sitting out there trying to decide whether to kill himself. Box filled with sand. Chain around neck. Sitting in boat. It is sad and pathetic but has nothing to do with the government--except that another boater calls it in and zoom, out come the helicopters. If they ignored it, people would be all over them for dereliction of duty. I'm glad the guy is alive and maybe has a chance to think again.
DSK made bail.
That's awesome
So how many ES points is a man in a raft worth?
Zero. But, no man in raft = 10 ES points.
Seriously, this is news? ZH reaching for what exactly? A guy is going to bomb himself into a lake? W(ho)TF cares?
This seems more like storyline instead of actual news ;)
Merely from the false flag perspective. But out here in SF we have so many nutters in boats (and other things) that we don't have time to surround them all. Glad to see things are pretty slow in VA.
Zero.
The reaction to the situation = priceless. Instead of putting a bullet in this guys head, how about the security guard(s). Oh wait, isn't it 2 for 1 Gordida day at Taco Bell. Security was out to lunch.
All wize craks aside, it's a little disturbing that a numbnut could get this close to a nuclear plant in the first place.
He was like 2 miles away. Shit I drive that close to one 2x a day.

It's "nu.cu.lar" ... And, I bet the Mexican (illegal) cleaners, on whom a bacground check was never made - not even a check if they are indeed Mexican, gets a damn lot closer every day they go to work and they got the keys to the place too!
What is disturbing is The Heavyhanded Official Response to every little thing some retard does somewhere, anywhere, in fact. Have People In Authority too damn little actual work to do these days (and too many expensive toys to play with while passing the time before retirement with full salary)? Maybe the government has so many ressources dedicated to "the war on terror" that they are falling over each other like the Keystone Cops whenever there be one opportunity, however ridiculous the odds are, to defeat a terr-ist attack?
With time they be needing a full carrier group to stop a jet-skier carrying suspicious sunglasses!
Probably just Mr T out for a paddle in his inflatable dingie, why so nervous?
I think we can confirm the identity of the boater. Which regular around here has stopped posting recently?
It's Robo doing research on Utility stocks
Prolly Robotrader. His apparel stocks got blowtorched this morning.
Robo's favorite assless jeans stock is way down.
Shot him and put him out of our misery. It's not worth the chance.
Hell, just shoot everyone, leave it all to the central banksters. Problems all solved.

Another false-flag op. And like so many recent ones, a poorly designed one.
Semi-coherent dude floating in dingy with some box hung around his neck? Yeah that's got gubment patsy written all over it. You'll know its a false-flag op when the inevitable 'investigation' finds links to 'radical' websites, an 'arsenal' of weapons at his home, gadsden-flag or Ron Paul bumper stickers on his truck, and constitutional or anti-tax literature in his basement.
I'm diggin' you there. Fishy fishy stuff

Yep, he's gotta be a Zimbabwean Al_Queda terrorist. Blanket-bomb Zimbabwe immediately.
Shoot the inflatable boat, see if box works at bottom of river.
sink the boat.
Right! Theres a guy in an inflatable boat? Fukers just obviously begging to get shot. Hell with it lets just shoot everyone and be done with it, its the only way to be sure.
+1 and done.
Just push the boat towards Baltimore City, he'll fit right in.

Fishing trip gone awry. Boy is he going to be surprised.
Forensic analysis:
How big is the boat?
How big is the box?
Is it bigger than a lunchbox?
Is it, in fact, a lunch box?
Is it a Halal lunchbox?
Is the man just peacefully shouting "Alluah Akbar" as he heads for the Nuclear power plant?
Is the response team just being Islamophobic?
Didn't Obama just prevent all future man-made disasters by throwing Israel under the bus?
What's in the BOOOOOOOX!!!!!
John Doe has the upper hand... I repeat... John Doe has the upper hand.
what's in the box? a balogna sandwich and a apple. why ask such silly questions? can't a man take a nice boat ride anymore without being bugged? gads.....
Apparently, the 99 weeks are up.

The man has not been identified, but Lt. Scott McBride of the U.S. Coast Guard said he is in his 30s. After the raft was towed to shore in Surry County, the box - approximately 2 feet by 1 foot - was determined to contain sand. No charges against the man have been announced.
well you go before the judge and he says ...how do you plea. your honor, i am guilty of riding around in my rubber boat with a black box full of sand.....

Idiot dry run?
Guy is just a sand collector, cant a brother even get his sand without getting harassed anymore?
I remember the good old days in this country when a man could float down a river on his rubber raft with a box of sand chained to his neck in peace...thanks Al Qaeda, you ruined it for all of us!
Hear it only costs $5 to dredge up a box of sand.
A chain round his neck fastend to a "black box" or something heavy in a boat on a river, lets see drop box over edge of boat ,life over . Nar must be a lost terrorist
sounds like he was about to end it all...........

So how much is the state gonna pay for this dbag's upkeep for all the rest of his life?
what is the charge? being a nut?
Soviets got good mileage out of that charge.
Anyone who had a problem with the worker's paradise of the Soviet Union was classified as mentally ill.
I would bet money that is a policy that will re-emerge as the US completes its journey into becoming a socialist police state.
