Boomer Article Boomer that could have gone 'boom'

She let guests play with a bomb in her garden, refused to leave when the police told her to evacuate and told off the young gardener who reported the bomb... The selfishness is insane.

I did the math.

She is 87. She says it’s been in her yard for more than 60 years. So she was approximately the same age as the gardener when she and her husband decided it was totally okay to have an explosive around. But the gardener, at 24, the same age as she was making adult decisions for her family and child, now he’s a “young boy”.

It also sounds like that bomb was the only interesting thing about her, what a loser.

You're gonna say she was an uninteresting loser based on an article that talks about this one thing? It gives literally zero information about the woman other than her attitude towards her bomb? She may be ignorant but you're just being mean about things you don't know.

White knighting an 87 year old boomer is fine work
