They'll probably be detonated in some poor neighborhood in some god forsaken corner of Baltimore, which will be good because it will take a few welfare recipients off the roles which helps to shore up the state budget.

Japanese WWII grenades no wonder he can't remember if the things are disarmed or not. And to print, "These grenades are dangerous and can cause injury or death" WOW ya think. These are a hell of a keepsake items. Just hope these grenades are defused and don't end up in a school zone. Hope for the sake of kids these weapons are found and not just thrown away cause of fear. Then again maybe someone will do the public a favor and take out a street gang or a useless drug dealer.
