Man sets off explosive at Cheesecake Factory in Pasadena; no injuries
The article is loaded with a lack of details. A homemade explosive that gave off a lot of smoke but caused no injuries and minimal damage… some sort of smoke bomb, perhaps? Or a pipe bomb that fizzled? A Molotov cocktail that didn’t bust open?
And then there’s this fountain of data:
The suspect was described as about 6 feet tall with a thin build and a heavy beard. He was wearing all black clothing and a black beanie.
The was a six foot tall man with a beard. Maybe white. Maybe black. Maybe Indian. Maybe Japanese. That beard could have as easily been blond as black or red.
