Granny Bomber: Elderly woman says she has a bomb at Wauwatosa post office

A woman's trip to the post office ends at the police station, all because she uttered one word.

Why charge tax payers? Charge the woman who started all this confussion.

We must always be mindful of everything we say or do these days. Personally, I don't feel that there was anything about this instance that would make me believe that it was a joke. I am a Wauwatosa taxpayer and I wish she would pay my property tax bill this year and spend time doing community service.

Here we go again!!! The Wauwatosa Police Department over reacting! A woman her age and a BONB!!! These police officers want to make it into the "real" world of police work and they are always OVER REACTING!!! Why did they not just try to talk to her first instead of playing the NCIS role!!!!

It is abut time that the Wauwatosa, POlice Chief starts more on teh job trainign and stop having officers while on duty, hanging out at Block Busters stores that are closing!!!

what a stupid granny, it dosent matter if she was only joking or being sarcastic. Now our tax money goes for nothing.....again.
She should be charged the $10,000, she dosent need the money anyways shes 83 how long does she really have left? a year? maybe.....

For all you people saying lighten up, it's a joke and all that, look up the incident in Portland OR last december. People thought it was a hoax and now 2 police officers are dead and the cheif lost his legs.
