http://www.denverpost.com/2016/10/24/bo ... er-forbes/An old STP sticker, the memory of a cap-gun-toting hippie, a rogue marshal and a 45-year-old grudge all came together earlier this month in a bizarre event that shook the small mountain town of Nederland.
Forty-five years after former Nederland Marshal Renner Forbes killed Guy “Deputy Dawg” Gaughnor, who he considered a nuisance, and then dumped his body near a gold mine shaft, the victim’s friend is accused of seeking vengeance by trying to blow up the Nederland police station, sources familiar with the investigation say.

I've heard of midget submarines, but never midget bombers.

You know, i would have understood, if he decided to kill the cop who murdered his friend, but fifteen years after the murderer is dead, with the only people potentially hurt having nothing to do with it?!

Re: Dirty Hippies, A Midget, And An Old Grudge
that's one of the funniest lines in a story with amazingly hilarious lines. Also a very strange mall it seems."...in a village shopping center where the small police station sits beneath a massage and acupuncture parlor..."
"John Callahan, 70, who now operates the “Carousel of Happiness” in the same shopping center as the police station, said people in Nederland were afraid of the STPs in the early 1970s."

I remember when the news came out about the murdering cop. I thought that would be the end of the story, of course. Weird.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.
