I’m surprised this isn’t a bigger story:

Austin bombs since 3/2
1-3: left on doorsteps, minority victims
4: booby trapped on road near affluent neighborhood, white victims
5: exploded in Schertz FedEx center, sent from/to Austin
6: unexploded in Austin FedEx center
7: exploded in Goodwill

Scary stuff. Glad my sister and her twins don’t still live there. She wouldn’t be handling that too well.

Yeah....I'm not sure how this isn't 24/7 coverage on all the cable networks.  I guess the two deaths, and ongoing threats, aren't emotional enough for the sensationalist coverage.

And it's completely nuts that the targets appear to be unrelated (even though the first 2-3 may have been connected)...and no manifesto, demands or anything.  This is the purest example of terrorism.

I'm also amazed, when I assume cameras are everywhere, that they don't have a lead on the guy?

They are saying the Goodwill one was mishandled military ordinance and had nothing to do with the bomber.

Could you start a thread about my ex-girlfriend?

Before liberals get their panties in a bunch, yes this dude was a terrorist.  Luckily he was just a psycho and wasn't actually smart like the unabomber.

If you’re gonna say reps, you should actually rep him.

Lol, yeah, it's two clicks to rep. Much easier than posting "reps."

I can’t believe how long it took for this to get news attention outside the area. I mean yeah, our President is a serial cheater with a porn star and model. But domestic bombings SHOULD be superseding that...

It would have been the only story had he been a sniper instead.

Hell, if he had harvested facebook data of soccer moms playing farmville it would have been talked about for 2 weeks.

 Lots of people have the knowledge to disappear and live a primitive lifestyle like Kaczynski.  Being as smart as him, not likely.

Well, the bombs did not have a bump stock, so ....

I thought it was the White House spokesperson who said he wasn't a terrorist?

Sanders tweeted "no nexus to terrorism", assuming she meant no evidence of a connection to an established group. I see nothing wrong with that, but of course some will choose to be outraged as they see fit.
