Cable is less regulated, not unregulated, by the FCC as compared to the airwaves.

Interesting.  Glad I don't have to implement that pile of dung.

It is rare for people to do this without taking credit. That tells me it is more of a serial killer type of deal.

Unabomber took no credit. And he was only caught, by his own brother; not the FBI.

True.

I never understood the media giving him that name.   :shrug:

But they always do find a label to hang on stupid people doing shit like that.

Because it makes it interesting and "sexy" and makes people want to watch/read the media.

Reported package explosion at Goodwill on Brodie Lane 7:00 PM 3-20-18

Reported package explosion at Goodwill on Brodie Lane

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Emergency crews are responding to a reported package explosion on Brodie Lane at Slaughter Lane Tuesday evening.

The Austin Fire Department says the call came in at 7 p.m. The agency says the package exploded at a Goodwill located at 9801 Brodie Ln.

Austin-Travis County EMS says a man in his 30s was taken to the hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries.

Crews are currently working to set up a perimeter. Traffic on Brodie Lane will be impacted. People are being asked to avoid the area. A business in the shopping center where the Randalls grocery store is located says people can still get into the parking lot but traffic is bad since Brodie Lane is closed.

The location of the possible explosion is approximately 3.5 miles due south on Brodie Lane from the FedEx shipping store that authorities say the serial bomber used to ship two recent packages from. If this is connected to the serial bomber, this will be the sixth bombing since March 2.

Fox says that the Goodwill employee injured in this latest blast was looking in a donation box when the explosion happened.

Looks like this bomber is dropping off packages all over the place.  I had read that the trigger mechanism in the bombs that killed two black men earlier in the month were tripped by mousetraps.

So, smokeless black powder and mousetrap bannings to come in our immediate future?

Relax.  These are just the kinds of things that happen when the civil society falls apart from childrearing to a wholesale lack of biblical morality being expected of this people.  Add generous importations of third world squatters, roaming-free Weather Underground terrorists who are now professors to brainwash two generations of kids - and WALA!

Here we find ourselves.

So, we can either close society all together and get even more comfortable with an overt police state to give us the illusion we are safe - or we can turn to the One whom used to have a Hedge around us and change our stupid ways.

My guess is that as a society - we will opt for the former rather than the latter.

I recall watching a documentary and somewhere along the story, their was an eyewitness sighting, and the picture came out of him wearing a hoodie sweatshirt, and dark glasses. Remember?

And there was also a connection to a university--perhaps UC Berkeley, had worked.
The nickname stuck.

I believe he was not deemed to be insane.

And I believe he offers no remorse.

Just one truly evil MF, with a very high IQ.

I have a package coming from Amazon on Friday - any of you want to pick it up on my front porch?  I don't live in Austin, but in Texas, so where will the bomber be tomorrow?

I'd guess there's been a major drop in Amazon business in the Austin area...

I sure wouldn't order anything for the time being if I lived there.

If the FBI cracks this case it will be dumb luck.

One riot, one ranger. I'd bank on that going way further than the FBI can do.

On a related note... thefts of parcels left at front doors or porches are down 99.9 percent in the Travis County area..

@INVAR, did they implicate black powder in the blasts?
