Austin Bombings

Post by Driller »

Ok, as long a the bomber stayed on the other side of town I wasn't too concerned as I felt he was targeting someone for some reason. However, last night he has moved over to my side of town although it is quite a bit South and East. A nut, now targeting anyone that comes down the trail and hits the trip wire. The two 20 year olds were on bikes, probably all that saved them from being more seriously injured.

And now they found a 6th bomb at the Austin airport. There trying to open it without setting it off. I wouldn't want that job.

Geezuz Driller.
I know it sounds a little cliché, but be careful until they catch that fool.
What a messed up world we live in today. I guess kindness and respect are out the door on ALL levels of the America I once knew.

Glad they got the guy. 24 years old. Whole life ahead of him and threw it all away because of hate. Hard to consider. Parents must be devastated. We'll see as the full story unfolds. Headed out to plant another bomb when they caught him no doubt.
