We'll have to ban all current event threads soon.

Ths statement was meant as a simple fact and guess as to how/why it might have turned political. Apologies if it offended. No opinion was meant to be stated here.

Banning threads instead of the people starting them? And people accuse you of being too conservative!

someone had to see something.

kind of seems surreal, like a criminal minds episode, he adjusted his method by using a trip wire.

and now his vitcimology has expanded too.

Banning people leads to numerous e-mail complaints that I need to address plus the inevitable "free so-and-so" and "this site is going to shit" threads. It's easier to simply delete the thread.

Furthermore, it's not one or two people. As I said, people can't help themselves.
Maybe it just got weird?

Love it: "People can't help themselves." In America only -- or all over?
It got political because the targets don't appear to be random...

Until last night and the tripwire bomb, it looked targeted, but what has that got to do with political? More like racial...
Bomb exploded  
pjcas18 : 3/20/2018 9:26 am : link
at a fedex facility in San Antonio, appears to be linked to the Austin bombings.

the last bombing removed most doubts at these serial bombings being racially motivated or even having purposely targeted victims it seems.

Unless that one was a copycat, which investigators do not believe at this time.

Serious question  
bhill410 : 3/20/2018 10:09 am : link
Going down to final four in San Antonio in a week and a half. Flying into Austin as well. Should I legitimately be thinking about canceling? It seems as though with an event that big it will be a target for this lunatic. I know odds would still be low but also not something I exactly want going on in back of my head

40000 people killed in traffic accidents each year are you going to stop driving?

Small bombs with a likely targeted reason, doubt NCAAs is one.

But with randomness of last two seems like river walk would be an easy target.

Remains the same, chances are less than traffic death. So don't go to Riverwalk or if you do, sit inside only...

We went to Paris just after the Paris attack on Champs Elysee, never worried about an attack.

Stayed in SA last year. Loved jogging the riverwalk every morning. Surrealistically cool.

"wants to watch the world burn" obviously taking the famous line from the Joker.
I just heard a report that another bomb just exploded  
batman11 : 3/20/2018 9:09 pm : link
at a Goodwill Store in Austin, evidently on the same street where the Fed Ex bomb was set off.
latest not bomber per police  
UESBLUE : 3/20/2018 10:23 pm : link
But the Austin Police Department said later in the evening that the detonation at a Goodwill in South Austin was not caused by a package bomb and likely wasnt connected to this months series of bombings.
