I don’t know which house blew, but it appears that there are only four houses on Dawn Song Dr., a cul-de -sac. None of the property owner’s names sound muslim. Values last year $578,000- $672,000.

A cul-de -sac would not be a place where a bomber would choose to place a bomb on a Sunday afternoon.

And the police are not saying it was a ‘package bomb,” they are saying it was an ‘explosion.”

This very may well be a case of the terrorist bomb makers blowing themselves up.

But not necessarily, though they very well may be the ones in Austin.

From the article:

“The scope goes beyond just Austin,” said a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a continuing investigation. “We’re looking for anyone that could have been involved in making bombs in the past in Texas, and really anywhere in the United States.”

Does anyone else remember any recent bombings reported around the country?

That house, in that neighborhood, on a Sunday afternoon would be a very difficult place to place a bomb.

Add to that, two male victims in their twenties.

And the police are not calling it a package bomb, but an explosion.

Well I did say: they very well may be the ones in Austin.

But the statement leads one to believe they are occurring across the country. But I don't remember hearing of any recently. Has there been other ones recently?

No, these are the only ones I know of.

However, it could be a ploy to draw the bombers out.

By saying, “Hey, you guys are not the only bombers”, may entice them to make some effort to communicate to the media and explain their cause.”

Interview w/neighbor who says a tripwire was placed on a for sale sign in front of a home that wasn’t for sale. When the device was tripped, the 20 yr olds were hit with nails, and shrapnel.

Supposedly backpack found in area.

Remember this is just what the folks in the neighborhood are hearing/ repeating. Fog of war scenario.

So when a muslim shouting allah akbar cuts someone's head off they're at a loss for motive but here they're already trying to pin it on some Honkie.

I heard this morning that one of the “addresses” on a package (earlier bombing?) didn’t match the house address (suggesting that one of the earlier victims may not have been the intended target).

What??? Pleading with bad guys doesn’t work? An outrage.

They went about it all wrong. They should have passed a bomb control law and declared Austin a bomb free zone.

Just one bomber is keeping the Austin Police DepRtment busy. Just one. When the Demonrats try mass gun confiscation, their troubles will be multiplied by thousands, millions.

“This very may well be a case of the terrorist bomb makers blowing themselves up. “

If it went off inside the house these are the bad guys. Nobody in Austin will now pick up an unmarked package left on their doorstep. I hope these two are the bad guys.
