Texas man killed after 'device' explodes on front porch of Austin home

Maybe the FBI could stop being involved in all this political nonsense and get off it's ass and maybe solve these horrible crimes?

Serious injuries but not life-threatening, whenever I hear descriptions like this, I sure hope that it doesn't mean someone gets a foot, lower-leg blown off.  That of course, is better than death but would be very awful. That happened at the Boston Marathon bombing.

News conference just ended.  This bomb was set off by a trip wire.  People on that block have to stay in their houses until contacted by an agent that it is safe for them to go out or until 2 pm.  Kids from that section are excused from school.

One of the men hurt had nails embedded in his leg (think it was one leg, not two).  They said these two men were walking by.  Before it was said they were on bikes but evidently not since this news conference said they were walking. 

Law enforcement from all over is there including lots of fed guys.

There is chatter on the boards out there that this might be the work of an Antifa group that was flushed with Soros cash and attempting to ignite martial law/race war.

There is also a lot of questions as to whether or not the latest two 'injured' men were the culprits themselves.

Knowing the area, that makes some sense.  Well, as much as antifa can make.

Now with tripwire bomb, APD says they're working with a serial bomber

AUSTIN (KXAN) - The latest of four bombings in the Austin area in the past 16 days has a "higher level of sophistication" than the previous three, according to an update from Austin Interim Police Chief Brian Manley.

"We are clearly dealing with what we expect to be a serial bomber at this point," Manley said.

Hours after the bombing Manley said it is "very possible" the device in Sunday night's explosion was triggered by a tripwire. In a press conference around 10 a.m., he said the device that exploded has similarities to the other explosive devices, based on preliminary results, even though it does use a more complex tripwire system. He noted in an earlier press conference that the bombs have different kinds of projectiles within them.
