Vancouver police evacuated Canada Post’s downtown Vancouver processing plant Monday shortly before 5 p.m. after an employee found several grenades while X-raying a package.
The building was evacuated after a Canada Border Services Agency employee called police after finding the grenades, which may be live explosives, inactive or even novelty items, according to the police.
| someone probably just bought a box of collectibles but given the bombing in boston the cbsa agent freaked

Really sad news. It is a sad reminder to Americans and I guess all of us that we are still at war.
I know we all shouldn't come to conclusions but the fact that they bombed innocent people as opposed to the government or law enforcement makes this seem like it was an extremist terrorist attack.

BTW wouldn't you bleed out in minutes after losing 2 limbs? I'm assuming all the pressure/cauterizing wouldn't really make a huge difference at that point

Looks like they tied his leg a little higher to on the thigh to prevent excessive blood loss.

Guy directly helping that dude is a fucking hero.....I can hardly look at the fucking picture, let alone be able to do whatever that guy is doing without fucking throwing up...not in uniform or anything either, so quite likely he's just some 'average' dude....
