Well now this is creepy Jersey City

We're not gonna go into any kind of a panic but this makes you sit up and wonder. Jersey City resident Mykyta Panasenko was arrested the same day the losers attacked the Boston Marathon, for building and having bombs, one of which while unfinished he still took on an NJ Transit train. His laundry list of charges reads as follows:

Panasenko is charged with having “two destructive devices, specifically improvised explosive devices constructed from a cylinder containing Pyrodex (black powder)” on April 5, the criminal complaint says.

He is also charged with recklessly creating widespread risk of injury or damage to a building . . . by constructing the explosive devices, according to the charges filed after the investigation led by the Jersey City Police Department and NJ Transit Police Department.

Panasenko is also charged with having two improvised explosive devices on April 7 aboard an NJ Transit train leaving Hoboken and bound for Suffern, the complaint says.

Jersey City residents owe thanks for the heads up to the NYPD and the FBI who got a tip from someone who knows Panasenko. The JCPD's bomb squad handled the rest.

Now the authorities say he never intended to target public buildings or public transportation. Still, why do people build bombs? To store in a closet? To hold napkins? No they build them to watch them go boom. So going forward can we please keep an eye on this guy? Ankle monitoring won't be enough, those are increasingly being outwitted. We need a Lojack for people on this one. And please please please keep him away from Jerry Walker, Jersey City mayor-to-be.
