Austin Bombings

Another bomb this morning and speculation runs rampant but there is no known motive or link between victims though some are speculating it is a hate crime because they have been in the "minority" area of the city, though all areas are "gentrifying" and seems to be random so how would bomber ensure victim is a minority? Lots of bigwigs in town for the political and tech SXSW stuff, used to be about music, like Musk, Bernie, Arnold, etc etc so I'm sure security is tightening.

Those in Austin don't touch packages that you didn't order and expect.

They need to figure out who is the real target. The others were a distraction.

Yeah I was thinking along those lines also as a theory. The police and ATF, obviously, won't give details of the bomb but say relatively advanced* because it apparently goes off when handled. I immediately replayed "Lethal  Weapon" scene in my mind and said knowingly said "mercury switches." And lots of them out there since the Greenies forced us to user "smarter" and "more efficient" thermostats.

*I say relatively because I'm guessing it is not that sophisticated but more advanced that the usual types of bombs nutjobs uses like pipebombs, malatov cocktails, etc.

Or a water bottle with a little tinfoil boat.

My peripheral vision though Kxan was Klux Klan...
3 bombings in March on porches.

You're a fucking idiot though so take that into account.



Juan

The latest victims are WHITE. Thank goodness xhe finally got one right.

Don't you think this is being done to intimidate Alex Jones because that's where he's located?

It seems to me that the left has a vested interest in trying to shut down any real journalism. They want their total 3 station control back and will stop at nothing to get it...unless they're stopped. ;)

These "experts" are so lame and say such obvious stuff. Almost like some of the C2C "psychics." Broad generalities, sweeping statements, but always with the "out" that "it could be a surprise, etc."

Now there’s an explosion at a FedEx near San Antonio. Package shipped from Austin and sent to an Austin address.
Some local law enforcement believe there’s an Allah akbar factor.
And didn’t Little Rocket Man threaten Austin, or was it Arlington?

Juan

Latest reports are that the bomb was filled with nails.

Lil Kim had the hots for Austin, being the hipster that he is. ;)

"In March 2013, when Austin, Texas appeared on a map displaying a North Korean missile strike plan, dictator Kim Jong Un's ballistic missiles couldn't reach the Lone Star State. For the record, Honolulu, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. appeared on the same map."

Yep.  Some sick bastard or bastards.

"The medium-sized package exploded around 12:25 a.m. while being conducted along a conveyor track, according to police. The package contained metal shrapnel and nails, and one victim was treated and released, according to the Schertz Police Department."

Besides the explosion that injured one lady, with minor injuries luckily, at the FedEx facility in Schertz (near SA) was bound for Austin,
a "suspicious package" was discovered at the Austin FedEx facility (SE Austin area) and that has also been shut down as official investigate.

Local AM Radio KLBJ is covering the press conferences and talking about it with callers.

It's 2018 we must ban assault nails! No one should just be able to walk into a store and buy nails! We have Elmer's glue now there is no reason to continue selling boxes of high capacity assault nails! Call your congressmen and tell them to ban the sale of nails and stop senseless deaths that could be prevented by using Elmer's Glue.

When you walk into a hardware store with the intent to buy assault nails think of all the children and picture these faces and put the nails down and buy Elmer's instead!

Reminds me of this saying.

"if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

That's the problem when you have governments filled primarily with freaking lawyers.  Everything in their world can be solved with more and more laws, since that's their hammer.  Pass more and more freaking laws.  Ban nails, ban straws, hell, just ban living.  Except for the attorneys? ;)  :D

And there you have the primary problem with the United States government. How can a group made up of members from a single institution effectively represent people from various backgrounds? It can’t and it doesn’t. Hence no tort reform.  In order for the county to thrive the middle class must thrive. In order for that to happen you need middle class representation. We have none.

We wouldn't need laws if you idiots knew how to behave. If someone gets killed with nails the nails are being misused. If someone kills a bunch of people with a gun it is being used exactly for its proper purpose. Guns are only there to kill, or to allow fat Americans to maintain an erection - and both are things we can do without.

I admit there are some real shysters out there but this quote was taken out of context. The context was killing the lawyers was going to be the first way to destabilize and take over the throne by the faker. Or something along those lines, the total plot escapes me. Also who is going to prosecute or defend when "then make it a crime to drink small beer," my personal favorite Shakespeare line?  ;)

The latest. SA police backtrack on statement about a 2nd suspicious package found at the Schertz FedEx facility.

One package that exploded at the Schretz FedEx sorting facility might have been sent from a FedEx office on Brodie Lane in Sunset Valley, an incorporated town pretty much surrounded by Austin.

Caller just on KLBJ said the UPS Store near here was making everyone open up their packages, look what's in them, taking pictures, and then repacking them. She claimed they told her it was a new policy for all of Texas- though I cannot verify this and she was going to call them. So it could've been a local area deal or even just local shop? If so hopefully a temporary measure because that it going to cause a lot more hassle, costs, and lines and can you imagine Christmas time? She also was going to call Amazon to clarify (I assume she was some kind of small business or business at home and shipped a lot of stuff.)

Funny to most people, it doesn't make much difference if your loved one is killed by a rental van, machete, knife, pipe bomb, Molotov cocktail, explosives, rape gangs, or simply disfigured with acid. THANK GOD, you're here to remind all those English families that at least their loved ones were not killed by a gun!
