Maybe that's the bat part of the myth coming out for FK vampires. They
have some kind of sonar to keep them from running into anything at hyper
speed.

Um....no. He looks pretty good, but definitely not the skinny young
thing from the first season. And to keep it all fair, I'm not the
person I was in 1993 either. <g>.

Of course, since it's highly unlikely that Eddie was there, he probably did
get things wrong. The question is *what*? The phrase "gang robbery"
suggests (at least to me) a robbery by some sort of street gang. Do they
usually use explosives? I wouldn't think so--except for the suggestion
earlier that someone might have been toying with a grenade to scare people
into playing ball. So one possibility is that Eddie got the type of
explosive wrong.
On the other hand, to me, the "pipe bomb" bit--in the context of a
gang--suggests some sort of hate crime, rather than robbery. Tossing a pipe
bomb into the store, the way you would a Molotov cocktail. Now, if Nick
tried to stop something like that, I can easily see the bomb getting tossed
at him instead--either to scare the interfering bystander into running, or
to give the gang members a chance to run away themselves.
But Eddie definitely said "robbery". *And* he said "pipe bomb". Maybe the
intention was to commit the robbery, and then blow up the place on leaving?
I mean, if you are going to blow up a store, why let all that money get
destroyed?
