Discussion: Another Package Bound For Austin Explodes At FedEx Distribution Center

Hopefully, when they catch the animal doing this they’ll give him some old fashioned Texas justice—a tall tree and a short brope.

Will the MSM or Trump say a word? Trump’s base is the White Supremacist population, the people who commit these crimes so let’s not expect to see Trump open his big mouth on this topic for these reasons, published 2 days ago:

Still nothing from Trump. But he did tweet this morning, ā€œThe Democrats do not want to help DACA. Would be so easy to make a deal.ā€ This, after tweeting yesterday about ā€œA total WITCH HUNT with massive conflicts of interest.ā€ So, he appears to be recycling his greatest hits.

Trump is probably trying to find him to make an offer he can’t refuse.
Expanding his mob base.

Well, it is Austin, the lone liberal/progressive bastion in Texas. So, you know, they have it coming to them.

The Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine ticket for the Democratic Party secured 66.25 percent of the total vote with 306,475 total votes cast, according to the data. During the early voting period that took place from Oct. 24 to Nov. 4, 247,097 votes were cast, or 67.97 percent of total votes for that period. Come Election Day, another 59,378 people voted for Clinton, or 59.96 percent of the total vote.

By comparison, the Donald Trump/Mike Pence ticket received 126,750 votes. That's 27.40 percent of the total vote. During early voting, the Republican ticket got 97,368 votes (26.78 percent) and another 29,382 votes on Election Day (29.67 percent).

I’ve read about these bombings in the infamous MSM. How did you happen to hear about them? Here’s a link to a CNN story about this latest explosion. Is CNN not the MSM?

Couldn’t disagree more.

It wasn’t an ā€œanimalā€ or even a monster. It was a human being doing something very evil. The person certainly deserves punishment. But the death penalty, even when administered by the state is barbaric, let alone the kind of ā€œold fashioned Texas justiceā€ that was most often used in the violent defense of white supremacy.

The fact that one person’s murderous act immediately leads a lot of folks to fantasize about more murders gives some insight into the human condition. We are all capable of horrific acts.

But rather than continuing the cycle of violence, we need to work to end it. Punishment should come with compassion. Even for people who commit violent and evil acts.

The Dons tweet hand frozen on this one in his ongoing misguided efforts to help lunkhead zealots MAGA in a parallel universe.

My waiter at El Rodeo totally ignored my pleas to leave cilantro off of my fish tacos. While summary execution was richly deserved, I abjured such measures. If not for that leaky faucet Miss Vickie keeps haranguing me over I’d have gladly watched him bleed out and gone to jail a happy man.

Unless they catch him in the act (you know it’s a ā€˜him’, and it’s a pretty safe assumption he’s white) I think a trial would be the more appropriate way to go.

I don’t want to live in the wild west, and I certainly don’t want ā€˜frontier justice’.
Just what we need now; a bunch of concealed-carry vigilante yahoos looking for someone to blame.

If 5 or 6 black guys were mistakenly shot and killed while trying to find the bomber they’d call it a good day.*

*Later on they could just say the dead black guys were paid actors shilling for Hillary.

FedEx has decent package tracking. I wonder if this will allow tracing the bomb back to a point of origin?

Don’t bet on it. Right now Justice in Texas is run by the folks that advance the political ideology behind these bombings. Austin is liberal and Liberals hate America. That stuff.

So lets talk to the FBI director James Comey about all this ā€œbigotry seems emboldenedā€ stuff. Without Jimmy we probably have no Trump and the people killed by this bomber are still alive. What a tangled web Jim wove…and it aint over yet.

You drive 6 hours out of state, go into an off the beaten trail FedEx shipper (after walking there a couple miles). Wear a disguise that doesn’t attract attention, pay cash, wear gloves (as you also did handling the cash), and sign anything put before you illegibly with your off hand. Preferably scout shippers that don’t have cameras recording their customers. Take a different pedestrian route back to your car.

If this had happened in one of the true conservative areas in Texas, it would have been a tragedy to Trump. This is in Austin. Just a bunch of liberals.

No matter how this plays out, you can bet that the NRA will claim that if everyone just carried a pistol, the guy would be too afraid to plant a bomb. Legislation to follow . . .
