Serial bomber in Austin?

The racial angle may be more legit. 2 of the three families knew each other and were active in the black community and Square Six.

My UPS guy just dropped off a package. I made him open it.

I opened an amazon package yesterday and a buddy yelled and shook me as the same time.

I about shat myself.

The devices were set up to be detonated by motion like shaking or jostling, which is why they exploded when they were picked up. They devices also had some sort of safety switch, which enabled the bomber to move the devices without blowing themselves up, the sources briefed on the investigation told ABC News.

It sounds like the person making them is pretty sophisticated.

And with them being placed at the residence, it was a targeted attack.

Any updates?

Sounds like two more just went off in SW Austin. Two separate incidents about a block apart is what is being reported.

Oh man!

just saw that. What a nut job, it will not end well i am afraid of. I have a feeling the suspects house will be rigged as well. At least they have good resources for this situation.

News said only 1 explosion. Non life threatening injuries. Crazy stuff.

Any updates?

I don't think they have a clue who's doing what. They publicly addressed the "bomber", I think they're looking for a way to track them. Sad, our world is coming to this. Never thought I'd see bombings, in Texas, in my lifetime.

well it looks like this new one was set off using a trip wire. not good.

This rules out the race card. Not to far from my house. I’ve seen some TBH stickers in Travis Country.

I'm expecting a box from Amazon this week. I'll see if I can get a neighbor kid to open it for me just to be safe.

Bad joke
