If true it will mean if the person is a left-wing extremist they will be treated the same as if the person is a right-wing extremist.
That's not how it usually plays out.
A left-wing extremist is generally given a pass because they gave us a 'teachable moment'.

So they’re “hoax devices” that you’re treating as “live devices”, because you want everyone to see how serious you’re treating it.
Got it.

Just look at the videos when they were delivery and by whom. Identify and arrest.

Which is a deliberate obfuscation. Were they live or not?

At the same time, they offered little details of the ongoing investigation, refusing to answer even whether they had concluded privately one way or another that the devices were actually meant to explode.
****************
The fact that they won’t simply say they are or are not actual explosive devices strongly suggests they were not bombs. This is getting ridiculous.

Indeed, Pc is a national security issue, allowing terrorism to move under cover of hate crime legislation. They do teachable moments, we do hate crimes without even committing a crime.
They started with the Russia collusion false flag, false rape allegation by Ms Ford, and now they are doing it with BOMBS! And these morons in Law Enforcement cannot even figure, until it will be too late with nukes going off, Pearl Habrbor style, with Trump blamed

A more specific description of the "i.e.d.(s)" composition would be broadcast by now if the "bombs" were actually live.

ONeill told reporters at the press conference in New York. We are treating them as live devices cuz it keeps me on TV and I really really like bein' on TV !

If they were real bombs the USPS and anyone else who transports packages should have been alerted so they can take precautionary measures. Instead there is this deliberate obfuscation of an important fact that the public needs to know.

NBC News: Law enforcement sources say that at this point in the review of the bombs it is clear that some were incapable of exploding. Whether that was a design flaw or intentional is not yet known. Analysis is ongoing They say to treat any suspicious package as if it were real.

I’ve got news for DeBlasio, It’s only considered “terrorism” if 2 (count em 2) acts of violence occurred from the scenario. They did not so not considered a terrorist act.

Even if they treated them like nuclear weapons it doesn’t mean they’d go bang.

Every one of these should be treated as a live device until definitively shown otherwise.

So theyre hoax devices that youre treating as live devices, because you want everyone to see how serious youre treating it.
They are treating it this way because they are partisans and they think this helps the dems. You have to remember the fbi has a lot on the line this election, if the dems win the investigations of the fbi goes away.

They should always be treated as live bombs. If there is any complacency (it’s just another fake), eventually there will be a real bomb, likely targeted at a leftist that will be a symbolic martyr.
Those who commit false flag fake bomb attacks should be prosecuted the same as someone who plants a real bomb. Attempted murder with federal time.

Common sense says to INITIALLY treat them as potentially real, for safety's sake.
UNTIL YOU DETERMINE THAT THEY ARE FAKE AND COULDN'T EXPLODE IF THEY WANTED TO.
At which point you say, "THIS THING IS A HOAX" and you treat it as such and you tell the media to stop lying about it.
I hate the media. I can't believe a single word they say. They are beyond useless. They make teats on a boar hog look useful. They can all FOAD.
