'splosions!

[phronetic]

Jesus Christ. I walk past this Tim Hortons all the time. It's just down the street from the library branch where I read the papers on Mondays. And now it's a smouldering ruin.

That's scary in more ways than one. Possible explosives strapped to his chest? Is this possible in our country?

Er, no. The explosives-strapped-to-chest theory has been very quickly ruled out, PBD. A dude torched himself with a can of gasoline.

Also, after seeing the afflicted Timmy's with my own eyes, the words smouldering ruin were too alarmist and too charitable to our gas-toting friend. From the street, you can hardly tell there was an explosion inside - it's dark and smoky, but not in ruins.

I found out that theory had been ruled out this morning, but thanks for pointing it out. Gasoline is still scary, though.
