+susieice Posted March 12, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Yep! Time to call police if you see a package on your property. Even if you are expecting something. Not worth the chance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would seriously make sure it was the package I was expecting before I touched it. Almost sounds like another uni-bomber is running around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawken Posted March 13, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 13, 2018 With the outcry to ban AR-15's because of the school shootings. Now we have nutjobs making bombs to kill/injure people. As I've always said, it's the person wielding the weapon and not the tool. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of whackos running around Austin. Dallas is about 3 hours away...but I think there are more whackos in Austin than Dallas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan max2 Posted March 13, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The amount of deprevity a person has to have not only to randomly kill people but to do it in the most cowardly way possible is disgusting 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, an attack using a package bomb that is powerful enough to kill, should probably be relatively easy to solve. I bet the animal is hiding pipebombs in boxes with a motion-sensitive fuse. That would be relatively sophisticated, if true. If it IS some racist, murdering scum, then I hope Texas makes short work of him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman76 Posted March 13, 2018 #18 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Race might be a motive, but I doubt it. You'd think if that was the case they would be going for large body counts instead of individuals. Wonder if the victims are connected in any way?

Hankenhunter Posted March 20, 2018 #23 Share Posted March 20, 2018 So, is this terrorism, or just another white guy with a mental illness? Because it's getting really hard to tell the difference considering all the victims are brown or black. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
