Chemical bomb thrown at Occupy Maine camp early Sunday morning
An explosive device was thrown at the communal tent in the Occupy Maine encampment in Lincoln Park early Sunday morning.
Stephanie Wilburn, 19, said she and about four other people were gathered in the camp kitchen and communal area at about 4 a.m. Sunday when the attack happened. Wilburn said the bomb consisted of several chemicals mixed in a Gatorade bottle and caused a loud bang and some smoke.
“A silver sedan drove by a couple times honking and shouting,” Wilburn said. On its last pass, Wilburn said the campers heard a thud, and thought something had fallen over. But within moments there was an explosion, knocking over signs and making a table jump about a foot in the air.
