Ima pull a Buzz killington right now. Haha

So I live here in arizona, reason for the worry is because there has been homemade flash light bombs being made. I assume people Have been just dumping flashlights around town just to get kicks outta the media attention and worry.

Excuse my grammer if i spelled anything wrong.

[–]l33tredrocket 244 points245 points ago

Some jerk has been donating them to the Salvation Army, also.

[–]Mens_Rea91 155 points156 points ago

Fuck.

That person has fallen well beyond the "jerk" category. I would call it evil.

[–]notromanbellic 82 points83 points ago

Depends if he's just delivering busted flashlights, as a gag - then he's just a jerk.

But if he's donating bombs, well, that's out of line.

[–]xmsxms 89 points90 points ago

He could also be donating working flash lights....

[–]Davidisontherun 24 points25 points ago

or fleshlights

[–]PsykickPriest 10 points11 points ago

Not at Salvation Army - they'd have morality problems with that, in all likelihood. Try Goodwill for a nice, lightly used Fleshlight.

[–]blzd4dyz 2 points3 points ago

Nobody makes love to a fleshlight--that's what silicone genital replicas are for.

[–]PsykickPriest 2 points3 points ago

Oh heavens, aren't you the old-fashioned one!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

OMG! Exploding fleshlights! DO NOT WANT.

[–]APSupernary 23 points24 points ago

Arizona's last hope comes from a vigilante gang of Salvation Army volunteers,

wielding only donated bomb flashlights in the sandy zombie wasteland that is:

                         **MAG-NUM LIGHT**
                    AA Sized Dose of ASS KICKING

[–]Saicotic 8 points9 points ago

I'd watch the shit out of that.

[–]PsykickPriest 5 points6 points ago

Donating bombs? Well, first you should determine if there are local indigents who are actually in NEED of bombs. If so, then that's a nice thing to do. If not, then donating bombs is just ill-mannered.

[–]WeaponsGradeHumanity 5 points6 points ago

Somehow I'd put those two the other way around.

[–]Mugtrees 2 points3 points ago

Maybe he's just trying to help them out. They are an army.

[–]zavaro 1 point2 points ago

And Goodwill. And thrift stores of any type.

[–]no_puppets_here 1 point2 points ago

That's rude.

[–]RubberChicken85 119 points120 points ago

As a native Phoenician, this is correct. There are billboards up all around town warning of flashlight bombs.

That's a thing. I'm also a Phoenician. We say it all the time...

Do you do a brisk trade with Greece and Egypt?

[–]firstcity_thirdcoast 3 points4 points ago

[–]AzureRay 8 points9 points ago

I'm from Phoenix, born and raised, and I don't know anyone who would say "I'm a Phoenician".

[–]DarkSideMoon 9 points10 points ago

It sure as hell beats a fleshlight bomb.

[–]photo 22 points23 points ago

Wait. Phonecian is another term for people who came from Phonecia.

[–]GoatOnABoatInAMoat 16 points17 points ago

Yeah, like the Phoenician alphabet, right...?

[–]photo 22 points23 points ago

Yep. They were also very good sailors and traders too.

[–]aguacate 16 points17 points ago

[–]GoatOnABoatInAMoat 2 points3 points ago

  1. Why are you getting downvoted on that comment up there? Seems completely harmless to me.
  2. I admire the simplicity of your username.

That is all.

[–]IntrnetHteMchne 1 point2 points ago

Maybe the misspelling of Phoenician and Phoenicia? Iono, redditors can be a fickle lot.

[–]gliscameria 1 point2 points ago

What, really? I haven't heard about this until just now, and I watch the crappy local news at the gym in the morning.

"OMMEGERD JIM, HOW HOT IS IT GOING TO BE TODAY?"

"WELL TINA, HEAT ADVISORY blah blah humid, sand, triple digit, HERP DERPPP"

[–]PsykickPriest 1 point2 points ago

WTF - Arizona increasingly seems like a nightmare state. Time to add it to the list: Florida, Texas, and large portions of California...

(Maybe N. Carolina, too?)

[–]Mugros 7 points8 points ago

Maybe they are not bombs, but someone wanted to have an extra bright flashlight... for a very short time.

[–]AMeanCow 15 points16 points ago

As another Arizonian, I saw this image and laughed and then stopped laughing and got very sad.

Both because of the flashlight bomber, and the fact that I live in Arizona.

[–]Murrabbit 1 point2 points ago

I know that feel, bro. It's not really something that makes you hold your head high, is it?

[–]Shalmander 2 points3 points ago

I still like being in Arizona despite our problems. Most of it revolves around immigration and all the rehetoric surrounding it. We had two serial shooters, the Baseline Rapist, and that asshole that was dumping cut up immigrates around the city. We had the politician that was shot in Tucson. Got an extremely high number of home invasions of anyone associated with drug trade and human trafficking. They shut down a couple of houses that were using immigrants in a sex trade. We've always had gang problems. These are not unique to our state, but we do have a lot.

I still love the state. Got some really beautiful hiking and some of the best holes in the ground this side of the country.

Just another reason to never live in Arizona. Not only are there people making flash light bombs (really, that's a thing?), but others are exploiting this for the lulz.

[–]mbuff 48 points49 points ago

Love AZ, hate the politics and stupid shit that goes on.

[–]Bipolarruledout 18 points19 points ago

They're really putting the South into Southwest.

[–]alexmichael_asshole 6 points7 points ago

Completely agree my friend. What's been killing me lately are the people who's kids are getting "kidnapped" and the people who have been beating to death the mentally ill people they take care of, usually its there own siblings. Makes me sick.

[–]mbuff 6 points7 points ago

It's sad and really shows the lack of sensibility or compassion that exists in the world.

[–]alexmichael_asshole 2 points3 points ago

I can look insensitive things online all day but when some girl and her boyfriend in phx beat her mentally Ill brother to death and work him like a slave doing yard work outside, Idk i get lost for words. Arizona needs help.

[–]antofthesky 1 point2 points ago

What kidnapping are you referring to?

[–]TrollolMaster 1 point2 points ago

I lIke it because there are no tornados, no erathquakes ( we might feel a small one from California) and we don't have to worry about daylight savings.

[–]cakey138 25 points26 points ago

What if the made fleshlight bombs....

[–]Nemonade 25 points26 points ago

It would be a....sticky situation.

[–]Stalejokesbakedfresh 3 points4 points ago

This is an adult pun thread. Trot on out of here, missy.

That's right, I see you over there.

[–]Murrabbit 1 point2 points ago

Uuugh these puns are awful.

[–]meanalllowercaseguy 2 points3 points ago

Yes, because making flash light bombs is definitely restricted to citizens of Arizona. Besides, flash light bombs are crafty as fuck.

[–]The_ToonCaptain 2 points3 points ago

Yes sir, just a pipe bomb in a flashlight casing, they also do it here with monster energy cans

[–]TrollolMaster 2 points3 points ago

I live in Arizona too, and the whole flashlight thing has become very scary for me. My little sister and I were walking home from Walgreens and she found a flashlight. We weren't sure if it was lethal or not so we contacted some adults (I'm 15, she is 10.)

[–]P10_WRC 2 points3 points ago

do your parents know you are on reddit?

[–]mikojack 1 point2 points ago

Phoenix will rise from the ashes.

[–]the_keo 1 point2 points ago

Today, flashlights; tomorrow, fleshlights.

The evil must be stopped!

[–]redditfromwork 1 point2 points ago

They should have gone with fleshlight bombs. If you're going to blow stuff up at least have a sense of humor about it.

[–]henry82 103 points104 points ago

As others have mentioned, someone has been placing small explosives in flashlights then leaving them around town. The natural reaction of most people is to pickup a flashlight and see if it works.

There was a thread on /r/flashlight about it.

[–]Lazy_College_Senior 182 points183 points ago

I'm not sure what I'm more shocked about; the fact that people are putting explosives in bombs and then leaving them around the city (has anyone been killed or hurt by these?), or the fact that there's a subreddit about flashlights.

[–]ENKC 23 points24 points ago

I'm genuinely surprised at how... serious that subreddit looks. Most folks just walk into a hardware store and go "That'll do.".

[–]henry82 9 points10 points ago

I suppose that's ok if you want something that will just do a simple job. But if you wanted better value, better quality, or you wanted to Buy it for life, then some research wouldn't hurt.

Not everyone wants a titanium flashlight, but many people do want a quality light that they can use on a regular basis with excellent output. There are much better alternatives to maglite around.

[–]ENKC 3 points4 points ago

Undoubtedly. It's just the sort of dedication you expect from enthusiasts of something more glamorous like record players or classic cars. Not so much an everyday functional item.

[–]Fatvod 1 point2 points ago

You would be surprised how many people thing maglite is the top of the line of flashlights. Theres a huge world of flashlights out there and its a fun hobby.

[–]56kuser 1 point2 points ago

As a flashlight guy myself I can definitely confirm this. If I see someone in a hardware store buying the first flashlight he sees, I'm going to be a judgmental arsehole. If I see someone getting an Ultrafire WF 502b, I'm thinking "Good on ya, mate".

[–]ex_oh_ex_oh 3 points4 points ago

For some reason, I think it's interesting how niche everything in subreddits are getting. I'm subbed on /r/water. Also the fact that there's an /r/cableporn and /r/cablefail that's so specific to how people do things is oddly fantastic.

[–]ENKC 1 point2 points ago

I'm subscribed to both cable subreddits. How can you not love them?

[–]ex_oh_ex_oh 2 points3 points ago

Exactly! Do you know about /r/edc? Until I randomly happened on that sub I didn't realize people were interested in this sort of thing. I mean, I got my shit but I didn't think others cared about what others had in their pockets or packs.

[–]henry82 31 points32 points ago

afaik only minor injures.

yep, we have 1500 members. It's a great little community sharing experiences, reviews, and giving advice. You'd be surprised on how technology has improved and the price has dropped over the past few years.

[–]sodawoski 23 points24 points ago

what kind of flashlight experiences are there?

[–]amosh 104 points105 points ago

Very illuminating ones.

Of course the recent actions in Arizona have lead to some explosive debates.

[–]SeventhMagus 43 points44 points ago

one might even say you would leave r/flashlight...

puts on sunglasses

DELIGHTED

[–]mightyenano 18 points19 points ago

It's a good thing you had those sunglasses. Those flashlights can get pretty bright.

[–]Parthenonn 7 points8 points ago

r/flashlight was clearly too bright if you needed sunglasses to finish your sentence my man.

[–]Pompsy 9 points10 points ago

AMA?

[–]henry82 7 points8 points ago

When i say experiences, i'm talking about peoples opinions on flashlights, batteries, chargers, mounts/holsters etc. I might own that model that you're thinking of buying, and i can tell you if something is crap or good, perhaps even for a particular purpose (i.e. night fishing, or pizza delivery).

[–]swammydavisjr 9 points10 points ago

what flashlight would you recommend for telling scary stories?

[–]henry82 14 points15 points ago

i think you'd want a rear clicky light, spot over flood, probably one that runs on AA batteries (as it's used occasionally for camping). Something with reverse polarity protection would probably be useful. oh and waterproof

this for $39 would be quite good and would last a long time

[–]BZAGENIUS 5 points6 points ago

Great review A++++ Would let recommend me a flashlight again.

[–]LerithXanatos 1 point2 points ago

Pen bombs were the rage a decade ago...also minor injuries occurred from use. Then a guy lost his fingers from using a pen he found on the floor.

Aren't all flashlights serial?

[–]chosauce 1 point2 points ago

Do I not get the joke, or is the joke just bad?

[–]crackanape 1 point2 points ago

The cells that power it are connected in a serial (as opposed to parallel) manner.

[–]WeaponsGradeHumanity 3 points4 points ago

So yeah, both.

[–]meg-atron 14 points15 points ago

after 3 bombs were found in flashlights over the past few months, yes, this is a big deal. and to be found in a police station parking lot, it is suspicious.

[–]EatSleepJeep 1 point2 points ago

Or a cop dropped his streamlight stinger.

[–]Cixelsid 1 point2 points ago

Disassemble bomb flashlight. Take out explosives. Put in alkaline batteries. Free Flashlight! Profit!

We've had two flashlight "bombs" found recently on the railroad. Scary thing is, what is the first thing you do when you pick up a flashlight?

Hello fellow Phoenicians! I hope they catch the people that are doing this and charge them with Domestic Terrorism. $5 says its a bored rich teenager.

[–]SteveJobsLegalTeam 9 points10 points ago

If it turns out to be a rich teenager, than it's obviously not terrorism. Just a kid being a rapscallion, plea deal, no jail time, 2 hours community service at the golf range.

[–]godsbong 1 point2 points ago

I'm a desert rat ;), we already know all the bad things about this state.

[–]awaywethrow1982 1 point2 points ago

It's a fucking shithole. I lived in Phoenix for 4 years just waiting for the day to get the hell out of there, and it had nothing to do with the weather.

Go around to your great restaurants (Phoenicians think great restaurants are PF Changs and Olive Garden) and ask your server what they thinks is a good, walkable neighborhood. You'll get the same reply every single time: Mill in Tempe, or Old Town Scottsdale. Downtown Phoenix is a fucking ghost town. Mill is absolutely boring, unless you're college aged. Old Town Scottsdale is far too uppity. Come to Portland, Oregon and you will see what neighborhoods are. You will see what an atmosphere is all about. You will see what small business means. Fuck the never-ending suburb that is Phoenix.

I feel the same way about Los Angeles that I do about Phoenix. Fuck that place too. The only places worth existing in the Western United States are Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego, and possibly Las Vegas and Denver. Salt Lake City is shitty, Los Angeles is shitty, Phoenix is shitty, Albuquerque is shitty, and Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho have nothing even resembling a city.

i remember getting mass emails about these things because they were set home made bombs that would discharge if you turn them on and blow your hands right the fuck up.

[–]skullins 2 points3 points ago

[–]kc_casey 2 points3 points ago

there have been a lot of crude bombs in flash lights recently in that area. several people were injured.

they put bombs in regular flashlight casings and hook it up to the on-off switch. when someone sees it and goes "oh, flashlight, let me see if it works", turns it on and boom!

so it was a big story for that area. sure, it looks funny when taken out of context.

[–]John_um 6 points7 points ago

This wouldn't have happened if it was a white flashlight.

[–]RealityIsMyReligion 4 points5 points ago

That flashlight is totally jaywalking...

[–]quaite 6 points7 points ago

[–]yeliahg 7 points8 points ago

Phoenix is possibly one of the few states where being from the "streets" could mean a good thing

[–]quaite 2 points3 points ago

Only someone familiar with Phoenix would catch on to that. It took me a while to rephrase that without saying "Phoenician".

God dammit louis ck for condemning that word. This is the first practical use I've ever had for it.

[–]VanillaMIlkshakes 1 point2 points ago

In my town there sits a lone shoe on a 50 mph road where those turning cannot run over nor the drivers going straight. So there it sits, and has been for months.

Edit: Wow, that came out a bit poetic.

[–]LouWeed 1 point2 points ago

Well, it's a flashlight of color...

[–]peacefulrevolution 1 point2 points ago

Is OP making fun of AZ because we have a person planting these around the city and donating them to the Salvation Army to hurt or kill people for fun?

For the people that have no fucking clue what is going on. There has been a rash of bombings where flashlights have been used. When you turned the flashlight on it exploded.

[–]Bipolarruledout 1 point2 points ago

Aren't you supposed to explode in the fleshlight?

[–]thereal_mytwocents 3 points4 points ago

I am currently visiting my rents in Paradise Valley and I'm pretty sure if someone touched that flashlight, we'd be talking 3rd degree burns.

If you can't walk down the street and pick up a flashlight without having the bomb squad being called out, there's something seriously wrong with our culture.

Sigh... The terrorists have won.

I'm in az and this is an old story if I'm not mistaken. It happened about a month back.

Oh, I get it... the black flashlight is suspicious, but the white pole can loiter there all day. Racists.

Welcome to the post 9/11 world, where everything is a bomb.

Well if you would pay attention to the news, then you would understand that Phoenix has had a few bombs planted in flashlights over the past weeks.

"PHOENIX (AP) — Flick the switch on these flashlights and they don't light up. They blow up.

Three of these bombs have exploded within the last month in the Phoenix area, causing minor injuries to five people and raising fears of more serious ones.

Police still have no idea who is behind them and have taken the unusual step of putting up 22 billboards across the sprawling metro area to warn residents about discarded flashlights.

...

An explosive was placed inside the flashlights with a smaller battery and rigged so that turning it on would send an electrical current that triggered the blast, Mangan said. He declined to identify the explosive material.

The first bomb was spotted by a passerby on May 13 in a suburb just west of Phoenix. It was sitting behind a palm tree in a strip mall and blew up when it was clicked on.

The next day, about 10 miles away, a landscaper found a flashlight in an irrigation ditch. It, too, exploded when he flicked the switch, authorities said.

The third bomb exploded on May 24 at a Salvation Army distribution center near downtown Phoenix and about 11 miles from the first one.

Wtf? I was making a pun and now I am truly saddened. Who does this crap?

[–]dikolaffub 0 points1 point ago

I lived there for nearly 40 years....yup, that's about right.

Why the fuck does everybody have to give terrorists more crazy bomb ideas.

[–]roxtafari 0 points1 point ago

Some fucktard has been leaving explosive rigged flashlights at Goodwill's around Phoenix. Why the fuck would you bomb a Goodwill?

I think the bomber is using the old school 6V flashlights with the big battery bay though. ATF is running billboard ads here with those models.

For once it's not Florida...

A couple weeks ago there was a bunch of news reports where flashlights sitting out in the open and on would explode when turned off. It was shown to be purposeful.

[–]gameman1233 0 points1 point ago

Witnesses say the light was illuminating the space around it before it turned off. The flashlight has been casing the surrounding areas if you have any tips on where the flashlight is or where it is please contact crime stoppers
