Bombings on University of Hawaii Campus
I am amazed that this is the first I have heard of this…I’m here everyday, usually read the student paper, and have heard nothing about it…(here is another link from the star bulletin…) It sounds to me like they are using baking soda and vinegar boobie traps…we used to make these to protect our forts…
