Someone been bombing people special delivery for two weeks now and I ain't been hearing nothing about it. Black people been dying and whoever responsible is definitely connected to a certain circle within the Black community - from what I've seen so far impossible to tell if they from the community, some racist hater from outside it, or something else totally unrelated going on. The lack of coverage, especially from the "let's stop terrorism!" White House, is some bs though.

Four bombings this month in Austin, Tex., including one on Sunday night, have killed two people and injured four, and put the state capital on high alert.
4 Bombing on Sunday Night
The authorities responded to Dawn Song Drive in southwest Austin after reports of an explosion around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. Two men in their 20s were seriously injured, according to the Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Service.
In a press briefing, Chief Brian Manley of the Austin Police Department reported that a package was left on the side of the road and that the bomb was possibly triggered by tripwire, unlike the previous bombings.

2 3 Two Bombings on March 12
An explosion was reported on Oldfort Hill Drive in East Austin at about 6:45 a.m. on March 12; a 17-year-old, Draylen Mason, was killed and his mother was critically injured. She opened a package in the kitchen after bringing it in from the front porch of her house, according to Chief Manley.
Later that morning, at about 11:50 a.m., another explosion was reported on Galindo Street, only a few miles away. A 75-year-old Hispanic woman was significantly injured when she picked up a package left outside of her house.

The Common Links
In a press briefing after the second round of bombings, the Austin Police Department confirmed that the three cases on March 2 and March 12 were linked.
“What we have right now are similarities that we believe link the three cases together,” Chief Manley said.
All three incidents involved cardboard packages that were left on doorsteps overnight, according to the police chief. None of the packages were delivered through the Postal Service or any other delivery services.
The police have so far been unable to identify any motives or commonalities between the victims.

“We are not ruling anything out at this point,” Chief Manley said when asked about the potential targets of the attacks. “Because when you rule something out, you limit your focus of the investigation and you might miss something.”
Two of the people killed after handling the packages were members of African-American families with deep roots in the city’s black, religious and civil-rights groups.
Community leaders in Austin said the first fatal victim on March 2, Anthony Stephan House, 39, was the stepson of Freddie B. Dixon, 73, a retired United Methodist minister and civil rights advocate. The other fatal victim on March 12, Draylen Mason, 17, was the grandson of Norman L. Mason, a prominent dentist.
