When a police robot searched the van in Baltimore, "it found a device for stealing diesel fuel and two bins full of possibly-stolen gasoline."
That sounds like a theft, not an Assassination plot.
Or a means of untraceably obtaining fuel for an assassination attempt. Either is possible, but the timing certainly should arouse suspicion.
Moving to Scandal Watch till such time as a shred or a tiny morsel of evidence is discovered that points to snuffing a president.
Driving around with that much gasoline in your car... lol.Not smart.
Baltimore police Col. Richard Worley said fire officials noticed some suspicious things and called police. Police went in and examined the van with a robot. Worley said they found devices that they thought could be hazardous, loaded with diesel fuel with cables running to it that made it look like something more serious.Worley said no other ill intent is suspected of the driver."We have searched for the van's owner and we are at the location right now trying to find out what the issue was and why we parked it there. We have video of the incident when it happened, but we believe they were just out to steal diesel fuel," Worley said. "When bomb techs realized there was wiring into the back of it, they made entry into the van and saw that it was a rigged device to pump diesel fuel out and then to take it and sell it somewhere else."
Diesel fuel theft seems to be the avenue BPD is exploring:Maybe the market for diesel fuel is more strained than I'm aware, but this is the kind of thing I'd expect were fuel $4-$5 a gallon rather than the ~$3.15 per gallon it currently is in that area.
Ever tried to fill up a Kenworth at the pump?
Ludicrous!
Your point being?
