“The crucial thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die.

SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Police Department’s Bomb Squad was called to a Southwest Side neighborhood Saturday after dozens of rounds of ammunition were found underneath a home.

Oh, the HORROR!  Dozens of rounds of ammo!  DOZENS!!!  Ahhh!!!

The ammunition was discovered on the 7900 block of Dempsey Drive, near Old Pearsall Road and Southwest Military Drive, around 2:45 p.m. Saturday.

Capt. Troy Balcar of the San Antonio Fire Department said a family member found a sealed box with about 75 rounds of decades-old ammunition underneath the house. He said the rounds are .40 caliber and about 40 years old, based on a date written on the box. Half a dozen nearby homes were evacuated for about three hours.

Fucking EVACUATED?  Why?  What did they think was going to happen from less than two boxes of handgun ammo?  San Antonio must be terrified of gun stores and places like Academy that have ammo stacked to the ceiling.

“This is definitely a big danger…”

No it’s not.

“…because they’ve been under there so long,’ Balcar said. ‘They’ve rusted, they’ve been exposed to the weather, elements outside so we definitely want to get them disposed of as quickly as possible.”

My dad gave me a bunch of old shotgun shells that had some surface rust on them.  You know what I did with them?  I put them in my shotgun and SHOT THEM.  Rusty ammo is not a reason to evacuate an ENTIRE FUCKING BLOCK and call in the BOMB SQUAD.  Seriously, San Antonio PD.  You cannot this stupid.

Family members said a veteran who served for more than 30 years lived at the house until he passed away recently.

This is the second time old ammunition has been found at the home. Just last week, the bomb squad spent about half an hour disposing of shotgun shells found there.
