Amundsen update

Terror charges have been laid against Mr. Amundsen. Wow!!! This is a really big deal now.

It looks like another blog has discovered the trainspotting-modeller theory. It's a plausible theory according to the people commenting here. Basically the theory suggests that John Amundsen is a very keen trainspotter who wishes to make a tv production involving explosions and shit. However this theory has a number of questions to be asked:
  • Why did he have so much explosive stuff? Did he really need that much for what he was doing?
  • What's he doing making email threats?
  • Why were there nails and razor blades in the bombs?
However a good point posed by this guy was:
...given the press’s sensationalist tendancies, it wouldn’t surprise me if “four Powergel charges and a supply of razor blades” was turned into “four complete bombs including one filled with razor blades” by the media.
He sure has a lot of explaining to do. It's gonna start getting really interesting when he starts presenting his case in court. We'll see where the trainspotting modeller theory fits in.

you're great crag! i think it's awesome how you're following this case. i also think the guy who said the twisting of the facts by the media posed a very interesting point. you know what i think is interesting about this guy? he has a mole on his face for one thing so i think that is interesting. and also did you see on the news that they found a board collaged with nazi pictures and articles under his house? how does that fit!?!?!?!
