Grandfather caught making napalm after being egged
A vengeful grandfather was caught making napalm after his house was egged by neighbours, a court has heard.

When police officers found an agitated Nicholas Smith mixing substances and asked what he was doing he replied: "What does it ------- look like? I am making a bomb.”

The 53-year-old was grating soap into a saucepan at his home after trawling the internet for bomb-making tips, a court heard.

The two officers were responding to a complaint about eggs being thrown at his house in May when they found Smith "stressed and anxious” as he made the concoction.

Smith was arrested and during an interview, he said: “I just wanted to kill them, I had enough.” ...........(more)

1. 53 is awfully young to be portrayed as so "old & angry-cantankerous"

He may be a grandfather, but damn....

2. Haha! "Mr. Smith denies the charges against him."

Kind of sad though, really.

6. Our place has been egged. We lived in an apt. complex and there was a group of loud,

obnoxious early-20-somethings who liked to hang out in the central courtyard at all hours of the night and keep everyone awake. (We were the same age as they were, but I guess they didn't have jobs to wake up early for? No idea.)

At about 3:30 am one night, Mr. i27 had had enough, and yelled out the front door to get them to knock it off "because some of us have to be up at 6". Didn't really help, but at least it was cathartic.

Well, apparently someone else took the more direct approach and just called the cops on them, because about an hour later, the police showed up and made them disperse.

I guess they assumed we were the ones who called, because the next night, we heard a rapid "thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack" against our door...yup...egg everywhere.
