Adding to the gakky news parade...

The FBI is investigating an explosion outside a local NAACP chapter in Colorado.

A makeshift bomb, or improvised explosive device, detonated Tuesday morning but failed to ignite a gasoline can placed alongside it. No one was injured, but the incident left some shaken in Colorado Springs.

"All of a sudden I heard this big boom," one witness told CNN affiliate KDVR-TV in Denver. "There was smoke everywhere; the building on the side was burnt."

The witness continued: "Whoever did it took off right away though. That's all I heard and it was scary."

The FBI's Denver office said it's looking for a balding man, about 40, who was seen leaving the scene in a white pickup with a missing or covered license plate.

Another witness, Julie Skufca, told KDVR that she stared at a man as he drove away calmly.

"(It) kind of made your heart stop, especially when you have kids," she told the station.

Colorado Springs (my hometown as it happens) is a city of 500,000 people spread across a significant amount of space with a very low crime rate. Publically owned cameras would cost an insane amount of money, and many small business owners don't bother with them because they simply aren't needed in most parts of town.

Maybe not too close... proper dispersion can save a life.
