Kansas abortion clinic linked to George Tiller evacuated after man brings in ‘active’ bomb

[DonViejo]

A Kansas abortion clinic was evacuated Monday after a man brought in explosives and knives, CBS News reports.

The man, who wasn’t named in news reports, was taken into custody at South Wind Women’s Center after the staff called police. The clinic is the same one that murdered abortion doctor Dr. George Tiller worked in and has been the target of protests and violence by anti-abortion activists in the past.

Local KWCH reports the device was “active and set to go off.” The bomb was wrapped in a box sealed with tape. It was detonated off-site by the bomb squad.

Police said they are investigating the man’s intentions.

“He was very forthcoming about it, he wasn’t trying to hide it,” Witchita police Capt. Doug Nolte told KSN. “He was here to do some business with the clinic.”

The clinic is one of three that provides abortions in Kansas.

1. Investigating his intentions?

Arriving at a women's clinic with a bomb and knives doesn't suggest much else other than murder and destruction, does it? Do they think he was going to ask for a civil discussion over tea and toast?

2. What else would they say?

Just because it's obvious, doesn't mean that it doesn't deserve a thorough look. Maybe lead to other nutters...

3. This is a truly bizarre story or claim - that he was applying for a job and just happened to have

a home-made explosive in his bag.

WPD spokesman Lt. James Espinoza says Moises Trevizo had no intent to set off the explosive and he was not trying to damage the facility.

According to police, Trevizo was applying for a position at the clinic. Officers went through a backpack the man brought with him and found several knives and a pill bottle with a fuse coming out of the top.
...
Trevizo was booked on one count of unlawful possession of an explosive. Lt. Espinoza says the device was dangerous and made of materials used to make fireworks.

He told police he had just moved out and had all of his personal belongings with him. Police say they've ruled out any destructive act against the clinic, and that it was just bad judgment for him to bring the bag into the clinic.

6. Well it's possible I guess. But plausible?

What else was in the backpack? If it contained lots of clothes, toiletries, etc then keep digging. If it didn't, then it's a bullshit excuse.
