Bombings in Austin

[samsnee]

Someone has been sending bombs in packages to seemingly random places in and around Austin, Texas this past month.

The sixth one just exploded tonight. No leads so far, though authorities think it may be racially motivated.

Scary stuff.

 

[terry78]

They've only been sending them to black people, haven't they?

 

[squeekness]

One had a tripwire that could have snared anyone so now they aren't so sure.

 

[Arachnerd]

Jesus...

 

[Lighthouse]

I'm shocked how little news coverage there has been about this till now. There is an active terrorist in Austin and no one seems to care. So, I'm assuming the guy is white.

 

[squeekness]

CNN has been active on it the days explosions happened.

 

[samsnee]

I think it’s gotten more coverage the last couple of days as the frequency of the bombings have picked up.

 

[squeekness]

They seriously need to catch whoever is doing this.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I live near Austin, pretty unsettling news. Law enforcement will catch them soon enough I'm sure.

 

[squeekness]

They have a lot more forensic tools now than when they were after the Unibomber.

Guy has suicided himself with his own device. 24 year old white dude.

Good.

 

[terry78]

Surprised they weren't able to find him sooner.

 

[RetrogradeOrbit]

And the trash takes itself out...

 

[STINGRAY]

Well, people in Austin can sleep soundly tonight.

 

[squeekness]

Glad it's over, assuming he was acting alone that is.

 

[Iceman]

A happy ending at least.

Bittersweet. On one hand it's good that he's dead, but now we won't know the motive. Hopefully law enforcement can conclude the motive from his residence.

I'm glad it's over.

This is me. I hope he left a note. It's frustrating not knowing why.

 

[Texas Zombie]

Still I don’t plan on opening anything today

Either racist or he was working for ISIS.

 

[STINGRAY]

At least now, people can go back to getting 'bombed' in Austin the way they always have... by Drinkin`!

They've only been sending them to black people, haven't they?

No the third victim, was a Latina Woman.

One had a tripwire that could have snared anyone so now they aren't so sure.

And as you indicate, was snaring random victims.

Motive? Terror.
Because it's a white guy, will be classified as just loner crazy.
Cause white American males aren't terrorists????

 

[squeekness]

I highly doubt he was an ISIS guy.
