 You should have said that they were the Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch. Also, now is the time to act like an American by being overly litigious.

Seriously.

I'm so sorry to learn this Jason. I hope there are no long-term consequences.

But the grenades aren't illegal, right?

People are retarded. I'm sorry you had to go through that, Jason...

here's the thing: not only are they not illegal, they're sold as novelty items.  have you ever seen the "Complaint Department : Take A Number" things?  The only number is "1" and it's attached to the pin of one of these old, disarmed grenades.  I'm probably more accustomed to seeing that cheeseball shit out here in Oklahoma than you guys are, but they're out there.

Besides that, having grown up in a military town I can tell you that I could go buy 100 of these at any of a number of army surplus stores that surface in around every military base.  There is no way that any right-minded individual could look at one of these and think that they are anything hazardous.  They have the center completely hollowed out and are clearly just a case.  This would be like calling the cops because they saw an empty shotgun shell casing.

Good god, Jason.  How horrible, in so many ways.  If something like that happened to me, I would be tempted to become the very mad bomber that ambulance twit decided you were.  (And now I feel a tad nervous about having said that on a public forum.)  Oh, how you must be having doubts about moving to this grand country.

Gee, do you think that ambulance driver would have reported you if you were blond?  Of course, you have that sinister accent as well.

By the way, were Megan and Holly awakened and evacuated?

It could have had a device hidden inside it.

Were there any readouts, tension rods, or noise-cancelling shields lying around?

Jesus, sorry to hear about that, and your general stressed-out state, Jason.  And it's also alarming (from reading the thread comments) how many good little fascists there are in Jersey City these days.  I hope they get a little poetic justice from someone "seeing something and saying something" on their paranoid asses.  It would be one thing if deactivated grenades were actually illegal, but they're not...

Hope you're OK.  You should probably check in with the Center for Constitutional Rights (ccr.org, I think, which would make them The Beatles of civil liberties) and see if you have any recourse.

Panic and anxiety related conditions are so common these days. I wonder if it is a natural thing for humans
or there is something in the environment (food, etc) that's making it worse.

Jason that is so awful. Like everyone, I'm so sorry to know this happened to you.

I wish I could think of more to say right now, but my heart really goes out to you. I know what it's like to be stressed, panicky, and then mistreated by the very people who are supposed to help you. It's a desperate, frustrating and unfair feeling.

Just keep hanging in there, and I know it is a cliche, but something will get better. Even if it is just littles at a time, appreciate them. It makes life easier to deal with.

I'm thinking of you.
