Explosives found at 'Desert'

A dirt biker had driven over something numerous times, not knowing what it was, but on Saturday he saw the words "highly explosive" on what would turn out to be partially buried seismic explosives, said Burleigh County Sheriff's Capt. Collin Rixen.

Rixen said the biker, driving in the "Desert" recreation area south of Bismarck, told deputies the explosives had been there for a long time, had seen them many times, but had never realized what they were.

Sheriff's deputies did know and called in the Bismarck Police bomb squad to take care of them.

Rixen said the 4-foot-long sticks, used by seismographers during oil exploration work, didn't have blasting caps and won't explode without the caps.

He said there's no way of knowing if there could be more explosives in that area or not. Rixen said the explosives that were found looked to have been left there "quite a while ago," he said.

" Plainclothes officers in unmarked cars watched for illegal or suspicious activity and then radioed uniformed officers in marked police cars to make stops. is that legal? seems like they have 2 much time or money on their hands "

" Boy, I was going to comment on this but after I read the above comments it looks like those comments refer to a different story. Has there been a mixup in the database? please read the other comments. anyway I will comment on this particular story. I am appalled that the school and the police have not taken this case more seriously. this is how incidents like Columbine happen because a kid gets harrased so bad they eventually break. my question is if the parents think they have an idea who did it why not test those kids DNA and it would probably solve the whole story. if it isn't them then the parents would have to accept that it would be to difficult to keep the case open. It's amazing how a school system will protect the bad kids and the trouble makers because they can bring home a state title but the innocent ones are the ones that pay. how pathetic "

" I am writing to state my opposition to the protect marriage act. I am a heterosexual however when states like Virginia can pass laws, even if the public votes to pass the law, where a consenting adult can not create a contract with another consenting adult and have it legally honored there is a severe problem with democracy! In many states a millionaire can will to his/her cat or to any organization such as the KKK or other known discriminating, hateful organizations. So taking the bible out of this issue, it's simply a civil rights act. I don't have to say 'allow marriage' but I do not believe any bill should be passed that is basically based on 'sin' in the bible and takes away consenting adults to create contracts regarding financial, legal, or other contracts that effect every day life. Are we going back to Nazi Germany? If we are going to basically use the bible on this law, then it's only fair that we use all the 'statements' in the bible such as adultery, gambling, ect. Should someone who commits adultery have their contracts honored for the rest of their lives? Why are we being selective towards one group? Its bottom line is its illegal regardless of if the people of a state to pass the law. Why should a rapist, a child molester, or a convicted murder be able to create a legal contract and have it honored? The protect marriage act is based on hate. You may not agree with it or choose to have recognized but you have NO right to stop a consenting, law abiding legal tax payer from creating contracts and having them honored the same as any other individual. But yet two of the same sex people are told no contract they have is valid? What is the next step to throw them out of the country or to execute them? Your job is to support living rights, not pick and choose who can or can not have a piece of legal paper honored. Regards, Todd "

" How can you let these people back out on the streets? Give me a break 4 years with 4 seperate cases. Rehabilitation is not an option with this idiot.Does he not pose a threat to society? What happened with the third time charge? Oh wait that must only apply to drug offenders! How would his attorney feel if it was his son or daughter that this person molested? Think about how many innocent lives he has already destroyed. What is it going to take to get this guy off the streets for good? How many more times are we (society) going to let someone with his background into our neighborhoods before we say thats it? "
