    For liberals keeping score all the victims are black

    And it could be a hate crime

    But for me the most significent fact is that some crazy person is killing without having to use a gun

    AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - A 17-year-old boy was killed and a woman injured in a package bomb explosion on Monday at a home in Austin in an incident similar to another fatal blast in the Texas state capital earlier this month, authorities said.

    Austin police said there was no clear motive for the two blasts but they were being investigated as homicides. The two homes that received the packages belonged to African-Americans, the police said.

    "We cannot rule out that hate crime is at the core of this but we are not saying that that is the cause," Austin Police Chief Brian Manley told a news conference.

    Perhaps he did not want anyone to blame the gun so chose another method. Gun lovers do hate criticism of their love for guns

    Didn't take long for people to twist this to their political purposes again. Not that I'm surprised. Just wishing the best for my fellow Austinites.

    Its amazing this is already a debate about guns :rolleyes:

    It is possible this is a racist attack, but bombs have rarely been used for such. The mayor of London, who is muslim, is in town. In the past you might wonder about the provisional IRA but thankfully that era is done.

    We won't know for a while, there are many possible agendas here.

    According to liberal fairy tales gun “nuts” love guns for their power and cant resist using them

    Now you are making us sound downright rational

    Can we call this what it is: Terrorism. The Feds haven't yet taken the lead on the investigation(though they've joined locals) but to me this is a terrorist attack against US Citizens, and should be treated as such. The bomber(s) is a terrorist and if they know what's good for them they'll surrender to authorities.

    not that I've spent much time on it but that's my wild stab in the dark... far right
    3 bombs... made to (how did you phrase it) look middle eastern like... (screams set-up)
    and low body count each time... to spread the message but at minimal cost
