Package Bombs That Killed 2 People in Austin Are Linked | Time

Letter bombs are a decades old device.

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

Be aware.

Yep, whoever's doing this is just as sick as those who use guns to shoot up people. Now what are they going to ban, boxes? Like I've said a half a million times before, it's the person who does this stuff, not the objects they utilize.

Obviously a nutjob or nutjobs out there who've changed up their game and now are killing without the use of a firearm.

A third one just went off, same area of town, sending a 70 year old woman to the hospital with life threatening injuries.

Horrible.

As for the gun nuts, the same person using an AR15 could have killed dozens of people with much less effort and skill....as they already know, but never let an incident go by that can't be used as fodder to protect the gun fetish.

It may be racially motivated. Seems to be only going after African-Americans.

These kooks do this for the terror aspect, not actual death count.

Funny, we don't blame the gun when a cop shoots someone.

A wholly unthoughtful conclusion. That's being polite.

How do you know that the culprit isn't African American?

I once got mail at my house from the unibomber. Stuff like this is insane.

Could he?

This is Austin, TX we are talking about.

In the words of Kathy Morningside, "This is TEXAS! Everyone has a gun!".

Pull out an AR-15 in that location and one might be dead in seconds in the cross fire.
