Presser starting for Texas Bombs. One exploded last night and one intact this morning.

I'm tuned into FOX but other stations will be airing the presser in Shertz. Officials to speak have been announced and will start any minute.

A package exploded at the Shertz FedEx building last night. Mailed from Austin to Austin.

This morning, a second package was found and being investigated at the FedEx building near the ABIA airport in Austin. Hopefully, they'll be able to find more info from this intact package.

Austin is the liberal center of Texas.

The names of the game are viewers and $$$.

All else is secondary. What a shame.

You’re not the only one. I find it so distasteful when gov’t officials get in front of a microphone and start patting themselves on the back about how wonderful they are when a tragedy has occurred.

Is the explosive TAPD? If it is this is all religious based terrorism by muslims. This stuff is super sophisticated. This last explosion was timer triggered. Fedex dilly dallied in delivery , as usual, and Boom? Clock ticked off. This goes on every day in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. The 4th terrorist explosions was absolutely an IED. I now understand that the trigger was a trip wire hit by a bicycle. CLASSIC IED. You will soon see a radio controlled IED. That will be next.
Congress appears to be hiding the ball on getting the WALL built. Trump should veto any budget that does not expressly fund 100% of the wall. This open southern border is killing Americans everyday by crime and now by terrorism. “ If we have to close the government down, WE ARE BUILDING THE WALL” to quote Donald John Trump exactly. The budget is being passed THIS WEEK!! We want the WALL!! ALL THE WALL!!

I thought about that. Also, it’s where Alex Jones is located. It’s also the capitol of Texas, and liberals do not like their governor.

Why did they even have it? I listened on the radio and there were no answers! Call a presser to hear themselves, I guess.

Is it just me or is anyone else bothered by the constant grandstanding at these press conferences at every major terrorist act or school shooting.

I call them news conference backslap fests!

You'll note, anytime anything news worthy happens happens, they'll get the police chief, all of his underlings, the mayor, city council member, they'll fly the governor in and what do they all do?? Backslap each other as they strain for TV face time to be used for their next election campaign.

They spend most of their time introducing each other for the cameras and then start complementing each other, as they name every government agency involved and tell all how feverishly they work, how great, brave and heroic they all are...on and on. It's one big back slap fest.

I find these so called, "News conferences" to be disgusting and very revealing.

I would be a bit more comforted by this last presser if I didn’t’t assume the Feds there were chosen on a basis besides affirmative action.

That is racists. Comments like those will get you banned from here and told to go wash your robe. Believe me I know.....but I agree with you 100%

Seems like there are press conferences on one thing or another on an almost daily basis, but total silence on whatever the hell actually happened in Las Vegas.

The ATF are the premier bomb and explosives experts in the world, short of the military.

What they can do with bomb forensics would blow away any agency in the U.S., pardon the pun.

Those tree hugging, save the green fire ants, ect and screw the humans mindset in that rathole city is by now probably infested with camel humping, goat and child rapists. They deserve to blow themselves up.

Problem is the Innocent people caught in the mess.

Back in the ‘70s up until the spawning of Dell, Austin was a nice place to live. Busy when UT was in session and the population went down about 50% when UT let out for the Summer. Lake Travis was not shore to shore and dock to dock smart asses in boats like it is now.

The city motto is “keep Austin weird” , well they’ve managed to do that...

I doubt that this is an Islamist because the Muslims go for either big bombs or suicide vests where they can kill a crowd of people. In any case, Islamist bombs always have a target in mind.

These bombs are small, they’re so far designed to hurt whoever picks them up or triggers them and that’s random.

That’s the more typical behavior of white, educated, intellectual, anarchist bombers who just want to sow discord and chaos to prove some obscure point that no one is going to give a damn about when we finally find out what it is.

I expect this case will be solved in short order.
