It's the fault of the NRA, obviously.

Different bomber?

This is very scary, and I hope it doesn’t inspire copycats.

I read that the tripwire was attached to a For Sale sign that had been placed in front of a house that actually wasn’t for sale. Possibly they meant to lure the owner out to take the sign down, which would trigger the bomb.

I also saw that of the earlier three bombings, one was possibly a mistake, so to speak, because it had been left at a house with a different address from the one on the package. (Possibly the one that killed the older Hispanic lady?)

I think they’ll get the bombers, unless this is truly a random nutcase, if they can find a link between these people or these addresses. In the meanwhile, it must be a terrifying situation for Austin residents.

Saw a report in some obscure place that said they were activated by an optical motion detecting device. Maybe one from a security light?

"...tripwire..."

Residents have to feel nearly paralyzed.
Literally wondering if bombs are wired to entry doors and garage doors.

Unabomber II?

[DAC21]

It was thought yesterday that the bomb went off in a house, and the the two twenty year olds may have been the bomb makers. It looks like that is no longer the case?

"Hey! Knock it off with the Boom Booms ova dey! Ya Sicko!"

[WayneS]

Was it a fully-automatic, military-style, assault tripwire?

Who are the targets, or is it random?

I think police are now warning people to avoid ANYTHING - not just packages - that they find in their yard, that they did not put there themselves.

Our wonderful FBI has released a photo and their artist sketch of the perp!
