    THINGS THAT GO BOOM IN THE NIGHT

    Woke to a huge explosion last night that set off alarms all over the area. Deep, loud, high velocity. It sounded like a bomb. Not a backfire. I had immediate visions of rockets.

    Turns out some kids made an ‘IED’ and set it off. And blew a hole in a wall somewhere nearby.

    Kids. (Boys)

    Endless fascination with things that go boom.

    UPDATE (Note that the Roshen store is across the street from my apartment)

    KIEV, May 29. An explosion has occurred in the Roshen store in Kiev’s Obolon district, no one was injured, Kiev police chief Alexander Tereschuk said. He contradicted the information received earlier that the shop had been shelled with a grenade launcher.

    “According to our investigation, this can be regarded as hooliganism. There was a powder charge, but there are no debris, so it must have been a self-made explosive device. I refute the information about the store being shelled with a grenade launcher,” he told Ukraine’s public television.

    Tereschuk noted that a terrorist attack was ruled out.

    The law enforcement officials said the explosion had taken place on Thursday at about 23:00 local time. No one was injured as a result of the incident.

    Taleb is right.

    I am even more right. 😉

    That’s because violence is a nonsense measure. A self justifying selection bias.

    Theft and parasitism are the full measure of predation.
