MEKP and TATP are a couple of compounds that can occur by accident when people start messing around with organic chemistry, as in making meth.

They should all go back to growing weed – it doesn’t blow up, it doesn’t melt your brain, and and it reduces greenhouse gases.

Having talked to my ex about this, his guess is that it’s a well-armed meth lab. That’s a very popular diversion out there.

The guy was mixing up nitroglycerin and MEKP in his house. It would have been safer if he had been running a meth lab, but then, there is mention of drugs in the Winterpatriot post.

There seem to be pockets of these whackos all over the West.

I used to live in Longmont — from 1987 to 1990 — and my ex and his family still live there. I even know the general neighborhood this guy lives in. It’s a nice little Midwestern-style city with a spectacular view of Longs Peak and the rest of the Front Range of the Rockies. And it harbors its fair share of wingnuts. They probably let him out on bail because he was protecting us from the yellow horde.

Maru’s template sucks when it comes to links.

Oh, you wondered about the $5,000 he paid to get out – that’s $5K in cash, 10%, for a bail/bond outfit to put up a $50K bond. The $5K isn’t all refunded in any jurisdiction when you show up for court and there is a lien against something to cover the other $45K.

The piece Maru quoted is hard to find because there’s no link

but you can read all of it, and much more about this case, here:
