Florida Police BLOW UP Stuffed Horse Toy Mistaken For Bomb (VIDEO)

The residents of Whisper Glen Court can sleep soundly tonight, now that a threat has been eliminated from the community. A stuffed horse toy outside of Waterbridge Elementary school in Orlando was deemed "suspicious" today, resulting in a lock-down of the school and investigation by a fully-suited bomb squad. We don't know what's so suspicious about a horse toy hanging around an elementary school, but for whatever reason the pony was DETONATED by police in perhaps the funniest five seconds of local news footage we've ever seen.

Those stuffed horses ya know are so dangerous. Maybe the whole state should've been shuttered out of an "abundance of caution".

Even if it were a bomb I doubt it would have taken out the school and park and neighborho­od.

When I was a child, I accidental­ly left my training wheeled bike on the sidewalk in front of the candy store on the next block overnight. When my dad walked me down there to get it the next morning, it was still there. Somebody had moved it under the awning to protect it from the overnight rain.

Sigh.

Those were the days.

Some poor little girl just had her pony blown up. Way too funny!

Pony abusers! 

Jeez, what has our country come to? Remember the entire city of Boston getting shut down in gridlock over a frickin' light-brit­e? Now we're detonating ponies. What's next, a national unicorn ban? 

Actually, that's not a bad idea. Never mind...

OMG! That is so funny! If it weren't for the bad timing (9/11 and the San Bruno blast) I'd post in on my Facebook page.

Maybe in a couple days it will be more PC.
