According to the Austin PD scanner, another Fedex Ground facility in Austin has been ordered cleared as well.

This dude ain't slowing down. This is 5 in less than a month, no?

They're obviously not empty.

That’s assuming it’s the same person. What’s scary is that the ever changing methods could point to a copycat. You never really know.

I’m very interested in where this package was heading.

If I was this guy I'd send a ton of suspicious, empty packages all over. Keep everyone scrambling. There would have to be a balance between over-exposing yourself and the cover absolute chaos would give you

Listening to Austin dispatch is a very different experience from EBR Sheriff dispatch. One speaks clearly and pronounces every word. The other stumbles over themselves and is largely unintelligible. I guess that is a decent representation of the cities.

This is likely a copycat or the guy is changing his routine. I remember after the first two an article said that the packages weren’t delivered to the houses via carrier, so they were placed there by the bomber. This one was supposed to be shipped. Seems odd.

I think his whole MO is low key. Haven't heard any news about the law finding a package before it explodes? As far as we know, this guy is batting 100%.

Whatever he's doing its working.

The tripwire still freaks me out the most. That’s just fricking terrifying that someone can set that up in the front yard of a residential street.

This guy/girl has to have a military background wouldn't you think ?

Using a freaking trip wire

I would think they have more than a YouTube education on bombmaking.

I also think the low-key angle is correct. However, the frequency is pointing to the possibility of a copycat, which is bad.

The fact that the exploding package last night was at the regional facility means the bomber mailed that thing yesterday. There’s only so many places to drop off a FedEx package.

Makes me wonder if this is just a crazed person wanting to kill, hurt, scare people or is it someone who worked in the big box retail and was laid off from closing due to all of the purchases made online. Could be a scare tactic to make people want to buy products in stores and stop having packages delivered to their homes. Just thinking outside the box.

It's not a copy cat. This is the same person.
1) This isn't the movies. Copy cat crimes aren't some common phenomenon.
2) Kind of early for a copy cat considering how quickly these bombs are coming after each other.
3) A copy cat bomber who also is attacking people in Austin, TX? Highly unlikely.

If the bomber is also in Austin, probably 30% male, 30% female, 40% some self-proclaimed non-binary definition.



I see you have never stepped foot outside of whatever podunk town you are from.
