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.

i noticed yesterday, that there are some charges out now by whistle blowers that russian interior ministry troops have been eating dog food for a long time now. they call it beef stew......
Maybe eating dog.
Dog food is not cheap. I always ignore those stories.
The journey is complete. If you have not heard of the US Prison Industrial Complex, it's here. And they lobby hard against any loosing of laws that would bring down the incareration numbers (immigration, drugs, etc.).
War on Poverty. War on Drugs.
Makes you say, "Hmmmm" that the US has decided to make all wars permanent. Seems we should have won at least one of them if we were really trying.
It's like John Hodgman said on the Daily show last night, "We can't stop the wars. The Military Industrial Complex is the only part of the economy that is working. "
I'd argue the MIC does need at least need maintenance spending in times of peace, but we have gone over the top.
I think PC is the biggest treat we face. It forces all of our society to give up liberty to not offend a small minority. We are our own worst enemy. PC causes society at large to act as if the average citizen is retarded.
Probably just another CIA lackey being used as a tool to take even more of our liberties as they did with the underwear bomber incident.

It's a whistleblower showing how great security is. That is why he is only partially lucid, according to the earlier report.
What`s in the box...it`s green and it glows.
kryptonite?
In his mind maybe. Depends on his cultural influences. Kryptonite would be my choice.

Japanese tourist, with a camera. They are touring nuclear plants on their vacations these days. It's like some kind of fad.
yeh they are collecting ideas on how to successfully operate nuclear power plants......
Nice to see someone from the west coast is still alive after the fallout blew over. :>)
The fall-out was no big deal, but some of the organic farmers are pitching a fuss. Something about losing their organic grower certification for 3,000 years. So I guess they have a problem with it.
It's all relative. If all the farms are irradiated then the organic farms are still organic......relatively speaking.
Seriously though I can't wait until some people from outside Japan try to file claims against TEPCO in a Japanese court. Or better yet, try to get a judgement here in America and then seize Japanese government assets to pay the judgement.
The grower's insurance policies are useless because they specifically exclude radiation. In fact check out your own home and auto policies. Surprise.
Here come the lawyers in 5....4....3....2
and ... there is new fiction :)

Had a friend visit from Japan... Smart guy, PhD, engineer....
But....He is not worried, parents are not worried... They are buying TEPCO/Japanese government bullshit hard...
I bet this little problem is going to be solved the famous American way: with excess violence, cameras rolling and saliving spectators with 1/2 brain.
i am sure he got tazered many times before he was "captured"
So, Zero Hedge is now CNN, to include non-financial categories?
Please stop. Refrain from anything that doesn't involve me making money. Thx.
we can help you with that problem right now. buy gold and silver and lots of it........
Hey, here's a idea:
Don't click on links that are obviously not purely financial.
or respond 7/8ths of the way thru the comments...
That's Jeff, not Geoff.
maybe we should start with some local police saying something crazy like, hey dude, you mind pulling over here for a second, we'd like to talk to you, i wonder if anyone has tried that
one of the cop snipers could have shot a hole in his rubber dinghy.......
Never shoot a man in the dinghy, it's just plain rude.
This has got to be one of the most pointless posts I have seen on ZH in a while...
Let the fucking guy drown himself or whatever...who give a fuck?
Not to mention...does anyone REALLY think that a bomb the size of a lunch box would really have ANY impact on a hardened building like a nuke plant?
There now...don't you feel better knowing that our HEROES in the police are ever vigilante....and keeping our shores safe from incoherant crack-pots in rubber boats with rocks tied to their necks.....
This is nothing more than sensationalist garbage....
GOD...WE ARE FUCKING STUPID.
it might blow his head off
The fact that you read it AND got this far down in the comments:
1) pre-empts your right to complain about it's alleged "pointlessness"
2) is a declaration of how stupid you must consider yourself to be
3) indicates your total lack of a sense of humor
what about saving soldier Ryan! Are you so heartless to not recognize one of your very own?
the tv station covering it is interrupting the "Price is Right" for this one folks. It has to be important.
Next thing you know there will be a dead FBI Intelligence Analist floating near by the Home Depot parking lot and a Moose will read ''we caught the dummy in the dingy like a duck in a noose.

If he's wearing coveralls and a flag dew-rag, the producers probably just decided to try an episode of Swamp People in another locale.
Very Bullish for black boxes or inflatable dingies?
Fuck that was close!
Box is full of wet sand. He's drunk. Now to see how much turrism mileage it has.
Osama Been Boatin. Quick raise spending on Homeland Security by $50 billion. Pass onerous rules on Americans. Have the TSA grope everyone entering the water.
Paid for by a federal tax on all boats in every state of the union.
It's DSK floating around, tethered to all his various electronic surveillance measures.
Rapture bitches.
Hank Paulson ?

Man in rubber dingy was heard shouting at the police - "Don't taze me bro" - He was a UF grad.
Is tazing him in water like throwing a toaster in the tub??
the nutjobs are coming out....
A' bacon powder?
The headline of this article reads like something of of the ONION, circa 2002.
It is zero hedge user sp666 or michigan!
Episodic disorganized speech is a.classic symptom of undifferentiated or disorganized schizophrenia.
100% accurate test for schizophrenia. If your brain doesn't process the optical illusion, you're schizophrenic.
Watch it. If you fail, go see a doctor.

Classic CIA/FBI Patsy
Drugged in Langley, VA., put in the raft with some props and launched toward the nuclear power plant...
Hey Obama Bin Lyin'
I ain't buying any False Flag terror. If it happens, it's YOU Barry Soetoro...
You, the CIA, FBI and the Bernank ARE the world's only state sponsored terrorists...
that is too near the bone...it won't get printed on MSM...only on ZH.
Those rubber boats are fucking dangerous. Remember how Ahmadinejad could put a couple guys in one for a little zoom in the Gulf and kick the price of crude 5 bucks?
It's 7 pm and I'm starting to feel lighter...almost as if I could fly!
Anybody else feeling that way?
A prank gone worribly wrong?
Anybody seen Joe Biden today?
Somali pirate who got lost.
