    • Just had a 6th package explode at a local Goodwill. Luckily since the first two packages no one has died. But this makes 3 package explosion in 3 days, with a 4th in the hands of the feds.
    Sunday night - trip wire
    Monday night - exploded at a fedex sorting facility outside of San Antonio - sent from Austin to Austin
    Tuesday day - found an unexploded package at another fedex sorting facility by the airport
    Tuesday evening - package exploded at a GoodWill. Employee was looking through the donation bin...

    They processed the fedex location that the packages were sent from.... I was literally right across the parking lot getting my hair cut yesterday .... fucker might have been over there shipping shit..


    Needless to say everyone is on edge here... My wife is understandably ready to grab the kids and drive to Ohio for a few weeks. If we didn’t have one in first grade I would let her.

    There’s info all over the place....
     
    That’s my hope too that the unexploded package will yield a wealth of info... but who knows

    Also there is thoughts that since the first 2 were targeting a prominent black family and the 3rd was delivered to a Hispanic woman house but she had the same last name as the family targeted in the first two that this could be a race crime and that they could be changing their MO to throw them off ...

    First 3 were on the east side of town. Predominantly black/Hispanic and poorer part of town. 4th was in an upscale majority white neighborhood, same with the fedex location and the good will all in majority upper middle class white families...

    Yeah it doesn’t seem like there is the pattern they were necessarily anticipating, which could be indicative of an alternate motivation or of trying to throw off an investigation. I thought it was interesting that they were trying to get the person to reach out to law enforcement. This reminds me somewhat of the DC sniper situation in some ways...which of course they did eventually stop.

    In order to be considered a terrorist he must be using violence to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim. So no just committing violence for the sake of committing violence doesn't designate someone a terrorist.
