Bombings in Austin

This bomber has some pretty significant skills.  Five bombs, one premature detonation, and one sophisticated enough that it apparently included some sort of proximity detonator (tripwire or something.)  That's better than the Unabomber managed, so somebody either knows what the hell they're doing or is really lucky.

 

 

I agree. The first two attacks were on people with a family connection, were African-American, with the bombs going off as they were picked up on the front porch. That gave the impression of it being racially motivated, or at least on a grudge against a particular family. There are the only two deaths - so far.

The third (the one that happened in the neighborhood where I work) was a completely unrelated latino family, where the bomb went off after being brought into the house.

Next was the one set off by the proximity detonator, on the opposite side of town, in an affluent neighborhood, injuring two white men in their early 20's.

And now most recently, the one that went off (presumably) prematurely at the FedEx distribution center south of here, only causing minor injuries to one employee.

 

Not only does this person have significant skills, he's really making it difficult for the authorities by changing up his MO. Judging by reports on the local news radio, they're setting up a task force just as you suggested. I really hope they get this person before anyone else is hurt or killed. Austin is an odd blend of hippie and redneck cultures. Soon we're going to have drum circles and peace marches down town, and yahoos from the suburbs to the sticks blasting anyone coming cose to their property.

 

It's a bad time to work for the USPS or any other parcel delivery company if you live around here, that's for sure.

Wasn't that the plot of one of the CSI's DR wrote?

 

Any wonder he's "going on a research/vacation trip" at this moment?  Face it, he's helping the FBI on this one. :ph34r:

 

If he is, and he's in Austin, he'd damn well better contact me for a round of margaritas or I'll kick his ass but good. :lol:

I wonder if the release of the NETFLIX show UNABOMBER helped create this monster.

Yep. And the documentary on Columbine created parkland.  And the release of breaking bad got meth going.

 

Gotta blame someone

What a bunch of bullSchiff. You haven't done squat other than post some hashtags.

 

Had you been serious about this matter, you would have offered thoughts and prayers for the victims. 

 

You forgot changing his profile pic to the Austin city flag.

Tomorrow I'm going downtown and marching on the Capitol to protest the 2nd Amendment right to explosives.  No one's more serious than I am.

I hope you're successful. No kid should be able to go to a store two blocks from a school and buy assault explosives.

He's not.

 

I'm "30 - 50 years old" and don't have "any terminal illness or anything like that."

 

I'm no expert, but those don't sound much like something a psychopathic bomber would claim in a miniature manifesto-like admission posted on reddit.
