Manley said investigators aren't sure of a motive, but can't rule out the possibility of hate crimes because the residents of both homes were African-American.


Yeah but when they have obvious clues as to an alllu akbar incident, such as video evidence and victims stating the guy was yelling “allu akbar!” —we can’t jump to conclusions. Yet now it’s ok to assume it’s a whitey doing it. It’s always ok to assume white male conservatives for anything.

They said that the writing on the packages are hand written. Clue Not to open.

Where did they assume who did it? They only said hate crimes can't be ruled out at this point.

This is hate crime territory. Definitely a Trump voter.

FWIW, I haven't seen any official news outlet reporting the 2nd explosion today was related to the previous package incidents.

Apparently a 70 year old woman was hurt in an explosion, and has "potential life threatening injuries," but that's as much as I can find.

ETA - To be clear, I meant the second explosion today, not the second overall.

Also, since my post, there have been a few outlets reporting the police think the third overall explosion, second one today, is also linked to the previous two.

It's not on the east or west coasts. Or in a major city. It'll be a small blurb in the evening news tonight while the media figures out how to spin it. Then it'll be in our faces.

That is actually the story about a victim in a third explosion.

1st: 39 yr old Male Victim deceased

2nd: Teenage Male deceased
40 yr old Female Rushed to hospital

3rd: Your 70 Yr old victim

Plot twist: they're false racial attacks by race baiters to make it look like more hate. Like the Muslim girl at ULL the day after trump won or those folks saying they got jumped at the Black Panther movie.

Edit: I don't think that's what this is, dummies. Just pointing out how silly it is to start assuming racial intent because it's happening in a particular, low-income area. And I hope 1) this jackass is caught and handled; 2) it's not racially motivated.

What kind of explosive is being used?

I would bet at this point its an ex mail delivery person or Amazon worker. Seems odd to put in the effort to make a bomb and then only target 1-2 people at a time.

I do not believe they have shared any of that as of yet for any of them. Two of those just happened today I believe. The first one was Mar 2.

Considering it’s in Austin, it’s probably rare and you’ve never heard of it.
