Quote:The Josephine County Courthouse has been evacuated and “C” Street between 5th and 6th is closed after an unattended backpack was found in the court house this morning.
We contacted Sheriff Gilberston at the corner of 5th and “C”
This morning, “We’ve got emergency services and fire on standby or alert. We just have to wait for the bomb squad to get here and make a determination.”
It will take the OSP Bomb squad several hours to arrive and evaluate the situation, because it is made up of two components, part in Salem and part in White City.

Well, I was thinking even wackos need cheap entertainment. I guess if the courthouse blows up it was something more serious than that.

RVF has failed us here, folks: This was over by about noon. http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northw...kpack.html
Excerpt: "The State Police bomb squad has searched a backpack that prompted an evacuation of the Josephine County Courthouse in Grants Pass and found it was harmless.
Josephine County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Erin Maue (MOW-ee) says officers found some clothing and other personal gear in the black backpack this morning and hope to return it to the owner.
Maue says people were allowed back into the courthouse around noon.
She says the black backpack was considered suspicious because of where it was found, on steps leading into the courthouse from a secure parking lot used by sheriff's deputies."

Secure parking lot? ANYBODY can walk/drive into and out of that parking lot. It's no different than placing it on the front steps in that regard.

Yeah, calling that lot "secure" is a stretch. The security measures put in place for that lot are a sign that says "NO PUBLIC ADMITTANCE" and the occasional visit from city police who get to run the transients and confused motorists out.

I don't lie.
You do!
If you would like me to, I could post the link to your Google Profile for all to see. Just let me know if you would like me to. I would be happy to oblige. It would be no problem.
