Looking like angry white people (isn't that Russians too?) since the targets have been black and hispanic.

No. More bombs. The only way to stop a bad guy with bombs is a good guy with bombs.

Well, the 2nd Amendment doesn't say you can't have bombs! The NRA will be pushing for it soon enough.

Well of course. The 2nd Amendment is not specific. At the time assault rifles weren't a thing and neither were homemade bombs. So absolutely! :bigthumbsup:

a bomb is an arm, so it should be allowed, I'm sure some of our members have a few bombs at home for emergency situations. You never know when you need to rise up against the govt and restore the rule of law and clean out the swamp.

I want a cannon, loaded and ready. I am confident it won't go off and lob a 4lb ball an imperfect trajectory.
And they were most certainly around at the time the constitution was written so they are absolutely covered.

Two black dead, from families that have a connection, albeit obscure.

The Hispanic involved in incident #3 might be a red herring; 35% of Austin's population is Hispanic, so a random strike or just a bomb delivered to the wrong address could easily account for this. Plus this victim is a 75-year old woman - not the most obvious target.

What I find equally strange is the time delay; the first event was on March 2nd, followed by two more packages on March 12th.

Still, I guess this is just some patriotic American exercising his 2nd Amendment rights.

If the authorities have not yet arrested a suspect how can the bombings be considered a racist act?

No formal conclusions yet, but the fact that the victims were black or Hispanic exponentially increases the likelihood that this is racially motivated. Police would be foolish to not go down that road.

He's not a white male American terrorist. Oh no.

He's a mentally ill lone wolf. Of course a healthy dose of tots and pears will comfort the victims and his family...and some folks will remember him as a wonderful patriot who was only exercising his 1st and 2nd amendment rights.

I don't think it's the "white trash" (not helpful) demographic that is typically behind this sort of thing . . . more disenchanted entitled middle class white suburbanites.

So another white heterosexual man involved in lone wolf attacks was misunderstood with mental issues. And this will no longer be a running story on Fox.

If they're white and fell for Trump, they're white trash, whether they live in Appalachia or Bel-Air. Steve Mnuchin and Wilbur Ross for example would be classified as honorary white trash.

Haha indeed! It's never a terrorist attack unless the attacker is brown... That said, there has been much written on the fact that the greatest terroristic threat in the US is right wing extremism perpetrated almost exclusively by white men. Between 2008 and 2015, the rate of terrorist attacks on US soil committed by right wing extremists was just under double that of Islamic extremists. Left wing extremist violence was dwarfed by both. But yeah, let's keep pretending these loons aren't a threat...

Indeed. It's the demographic that, until just a couple decades ago, could coast through life solely on their white privilege. It didn't matter how mediocre they actually were, opportunities were abundant for them. As other groups are finally being taken seriously and pushing for a slice of the pie, their slice is growing ever smaller. We're well on our way to becoming a majority minority nation, and that scares the hell out of them.

Black on black crime still skews the statistics way more than any white or Muslim violent crime in the USA.

In the USA blacks are much more likely to perpetrate violent crimes than any other group, mostly among themselves.

Take inner city crime out of the picture and America is one of the safest places on Earth.

I love that article! And the whole "black on black" crime thing is nothing but a dog whistle. And to OP, no, you cannot take inner city crime out of the equation. They are Americans too. Removing them from the statistics in order to get to a number with which you're satisfied is textbook dehumanization.

They are on the whole more violent than whites. Just because its uncomfortable to talk about doesn't mean its not happening.

Blacks, who make up less than 20% of the population commit half the murders in the USA. They are more likely to be victims and perpetrators of murder.

/Here are the FBI sources. Its a fact. https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf

"In 2008, the homicide victimization rate for blacks (19.6
homicides per 100,000) was 6 times higher than the rate for
whites (3.3 homicides per 100,000)."

"In 2008, the off ending rate for blacks (24.7 off enders per
100,000) was 7 times higher than the rate for whites (3.4
off enders per 100,000)"

The black on white vs white on black murder rates are almost double for blacks killing whites. (page 13 in above link)

Read the article that Jetero posted. Correct for poverty and crime rates are nearly identical. On the whole, Black people are more likely to be poor than are white people. Crime and poverty are correlated. Black people at higher socioeconomic levels are just as likely to commit crimes as White people at those same levels, i.e. not very likely.

Blacks commit more violent crime per capita than whites:

Using the logic in the above posts we as a society need to be more fearful of being injured or killed by blacks in the USA than any other race or religion of people. I'll be branded as a racist though for pointing this uncomfortable fact out. There will be excuses made and it'll be explained away.

Spurious relationships or not the facts don't lie. You can't lump in one group (white GOP voters) without lumping in others (blacks) in equally bad light. The facts point to that fact you are more likely to be victimized by blacks than whites. Its simply more likely to occur.

The real explanatory variable is income levels, if you bother to dig deeper.

Yes, income plays a part. But that doesn't excuse the actual numbers.

The NUMBERS of murders perpetrated by blacks is LARGER of a percentage of their representation in society. There are more poor white people but their murder numbers are LOWER with regards to violent crime rates.

We can argue about income levels all day long but the fact is that they are OVERREPRESENTED in these crimes than whites even though the number of poor whites vastly outnumbers that of blacks. There is a relationship there but there are also cultural reasons for the discrepancy.

Being ignorant of the facts is not an excuse. Don't blame others for not wanting to acknowledge unsavory realities of society.

Oh Lawd.

If you control for income, there is no significant difference in rates among races, i.e., RACE DOESN'T EXPLAIN A DAMNED THING.

I knew there was something off with you.

(And, remind me, aren't you the one who lectures people on linking the bad behavior of some Republicans to all of them? Credibility LOST.)

But go ahead, CC . . . you're not really concerned with "facts."

Yes, income plays a part. But that doesn't excuse the actual numbers.

The NUMBERS of murders perpetrated by blacks is LARGER of a percentage of their representation in society. There are more poor white people but their murder numbers are LOWER with regards to violent crime rates.

We can argue about income levels all day long but the fact is that they are OVERREPRESENTED in these crimes than whites even though the number of poor whites vastly outnumbers that of blacks. There is a relationship there but there are also cultural reasons for the discrepancy.

Oh Lawd.

If you control for income, there is no significant difference in rates among races, i.e., RACE DOESN'T EXPLAIN A DAMNED THING.

I knew there was something off with you.

(And, remind me, aren't you the one who lectures people on linking the bad behavior of some Republicans to all of them? Credibility LOST.)

Adjust for income all day. Still doesn't disprove the numbers and facts. You're sticking your head in the sand. No skin of my teeth.
