The Terrorists Have Won

The objective of terrorists is to instill fear in their opponent. Their opponent will come to fear that everything around them is a weapon that can destroy them.

Before you can board a flight you will have every nook and cranny of your body searched. A car left in the middle of a busy intersection could be a bomb. A wrapped package ouside a building is feared just as a school bookbag found out of place.

The terrorists have won.

Denver police swung into action Wednesday afternoon as the city faced a harrowing robot threat that shut part of the city for more than two hours.

The Denver Post reports that police were called around 3:30pm after a concerned citizen discovered the deadly robot, which was described as around eight inches tall, white and made of plastic, cemented into the pillar of a footbridge near 20th and Wazee streets. Police quickly closed 20th Street between Blake Street and Chestnut Place and a tense standoff began with the tiny harbinger of death, with nobody allowed within 100 yards.

A bomb-squad robot was sent in, followed by a heavily-protected officer, as rush-hour traffic piled up around the area.
