The McMansion neighborhood?? Say what?
McMansion is a newer home in the middle of a rundown neighborhood.
It would not be a mcMansion in a neighborhood of them..... It would be an upperclass neighborhood, and not a nice home sticking out like a polished nail on a sore thumb.

Riverside Pleasant Valley most certainly is
That's not what a McMansion is.
Here's a hilarious website that explains it better: McMansion Hell

The targeted houses were not all McMansions, but they were all owned by minorities.

Huh? I guess you've never sent a gift?

Don't live in Austin, but within an hour, and have family off of Slaughter Lane, and Southwest Pkwy, so I know Austin well enough.

Those are like most of the homes in the Riverside Montopolis Oltorf Pleasant Valley area. With McMansions put in.

The first guy killed days earlier north of there was not a McMansion area. It was a newer neighborhood.
Now they are on to payback for narcing on drug deals in the area.

Bombs don't kill people, people kill people. Everyone should own a bomb or two or three.

I shudder that we are back to this again, I got my introduction in the 70s, but it appears we are.

Be aware.

A gift would have a return address on it. If it came through the USPS it would have a postage mark on it. What I read stated the packages were plain with no information on them at all. Who sends a package with no return address info on it?
