    Those are just nuts, period

    Hollywood and video games glamorize guns, blood and death

    And that does appeal to some mixed up kids

    But others become serial killers who seldom use a gun

    Right. Kinda silly to fantasize about race wars when an ideological war is more likely.

    I think its Hydra trying to stir up a war between the right and left in the US...

    which is absurd, until I started to read threads on this board (which matches what I read ten years ago on similar boards, the last time I was active).
    Then I began to wonder. We have a bombing attack on the US, and what many posters want to do is attack each other.

    I don't think there is a united states anymore. We hate each other far more than foreigners or foreign governments. Which is really sad.

    We are a very divided country and not likely to get over it soon

    Yeah. Maybe it would be better to split the country up.

    Right, your single comment is like that of an almighty power. Shall i build you a golden calf?

    In the long run bigger scheme of things a single thought repeated enough times can be more powerful than many bombs.

    oh no no.... you don't get turn the tables here... you're the one who decided to make a big deal out of my comment... I'm saying exactly that... my comment is irrelevant in the bigger scheme of things....

    besides... it's people like you who like to keep everyone quiet... let's not say what it really is... that way whoever is responsible gets away with it....

    This is a forum and opinions will be posted... including mine

    Sounds like something that comes from the sort of RACISTS (who were enabled by Trump's Election).

    The crime has "Trump Supporters" written all over it.

    These specific events probably wouldn't have happened (if not for Trump, and his tacit support for Racism).

    Well, that's nice for you, I guess. I'm sure the relatives of those killed would be happy that you're happy.

    Terrorism is defined by violent acts intended to terrorize the public at large to promote a political or social agenda.

    Since the bomber isn't saying what the motive is, much less stating a political agenda, it can't be defined as terrorism. Of course maybe the bomber IS leaving info and the investigators aren't sharing it, but surely the bomber would go straight to the public to get their message out if the police/FBI won't do it.

    Yah me too, before moving to Florida I lived just S of there off of William Cannon. I know that map they have there like the back of my hand.

    That is a really big area not one neighborhood but many. Definitely on the poor side the one on middle. If it's a hate crime the perp would have had to have singled out each house. He may have even driven by. Sure one area is almost all black but the other two are mixed...

    This is actually something I have confidence in the FBI on. They are good at these types of investigations.

    Support that thinking. Other than just pulling it out of your opinions bottomless hole of leftism

    These bombing areas are huge. I lived there. This isn't one neighborhood. If it is far right its inconsistent with their type of raging type physical aggression.

    This here is.. heinous. Alot went into these attacks. Components for the explosive device and detonator alone weren't super easy. Then there's target acquisition, mailing points planned.. I mean this to me is a 100% nutter and a smart one.

    Ok so I'm thinking they gonna catch this guy or guys quick. Austin has alot of cameras. Definately traffic ones.

    Also there aren't that many places these packages could have been mailed from... And every single one will have a camera. Plot the packaging locations and take those cameras from when it could have been mailed.. There are alot of ways to do this.

    Bingo. Not saying there aren't any violent righties. All sides have their violent wackos. My own libertarians have some violent wackos in the sovereign citizen movement. Hell, even Buddhists have their violent wackos. But no, way too early to know here what, if any, political leanings this wacko has. Not that it matters.
