Why was the area blocked off for 4 block but no one was evacuated from the area.

(The bomb squad arrived and detonated the bomb.) or were they disarmed by unscrewing the cap and emptying them out. I love how NHPD makes if sound so much more then what is really is.

Any idea what these guys had planned to do with their pipe bombs?

They didn't overeact, it's a pipe bomb, the fear isn't that it has a strong enough charge to take down a building ( that is why there was no evacuations ), it is the flying sharpnel that the pipe bomb may contain.

I can tell you don't have any military training, because that is basic training 101. Leave the public safety for the pro's they were doing there jobs to keep us citizens safe. Good job NHPD

I like right across the street from where that car with the bomb was. You're wrong. The Police knocked on my door and informed of the danger and asked me to evacuate the area. They were very polite and informative regarding the situation. I was very pleased with the response and so were all of my neighbors. Keep up the good work NHPD!

Nice Job NHPD. Excellent response. These guys need to be in jail for a very long time. It is scary to to think there are crazy people driving around our neighorhoods, lying in wait to hurt someone.
