The local San Francisco press needs to do what I’m doing: apologize. I apologize for believing and passing on wrong information.
“The Starbucks bomb wasn’t a bomb and the alleged
bomber had nice things to say about Starbucks: The device found in a San
Francisco Starbucks earlier this week (wa)s not a bomb after all...
”Sources say the device that police referred to as an "improvised
explosive device" was actually an old flashlight with corroded batteries.
”Police were holding Ronald Schouten in connection with leaving the suspected
bomb in the restroom of a Starbucks on the corner of Bush Street and Van Ness
Avenue Monday.
”"I love Starbucks," Schouten said ... on Thursday. "I love that Starbucks on Van Ness and
Bush. The people are saints. They know I'm homeless. They let me drink coffee
for 50 cents. I love those people."”
