That is great advice. I hope the folks here that live in Austin (like I do) are paying attention. I also hope they find whoever is responsible and that he/she pays a heavy price for being a cowardly murdering *******.
Yikes this thread got derped up by the usual suspects in a hurry. It might need to get moved out of the hangout if the nonsense continues.
one of the women killed was hispanic. the other victims were black. it could be racially motivated, but it could also be totally random. if you leave a package on a doorstep in the springdale area there is a good chance it will be a black persons home. if you leave a package on a doorstep in gallindo/montopolis odds are it will be a hispanic person. one thing i notice is that the houses targeted are all really close to bike routes and trails going from north to south. very easy for someone on a bike to quickly drop a package and get away. not to get too paranoid, but its definitely in the back of my head... the fact that this is happening the week of SXSW is a little unnerving. what if these bombings are a diversion before a big event? if its this easy for someone to leave packages on peoples doorsteps how easy would it be to leave them in a thousand different places around town that could cause major damage/casualties.
from facebook...he sounds like a terrific and talented kid. he had a bright future ahead of him. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Draylen Mason, the 17-year-old killed in this early morning package explosion. He was an amazing part of our community who is gone too soon. Rest in Power. He won the essay contest at the Annual Hispanic Bar Association Luncheon, his subject was Racial Profiling Attended East Austin College Prep Bassist at Interlochen Center for the Arts Principle Double Bass for Austin Youth Orchestra Principle Bassist for Austin Soundwave
RIP We have a Ring. Wonder if that's a deterrent. You'd think so, and perhaps - though racism still a possibility - that's the reason why the cases are all on the East side so far. You'd think the perpetrator likely scouted the front doors earlier at some point. The Ring captures a pretty wide angle. My Ring capture basically every car coming into our cul-de-sac because of where i put it. So theoretically it'd all be "protected" in that sense. I know at least one of my immediate neighbors has it as well. On the East side of Austin they are likely less ubiquitous.
This is why you should support local businesses like Walmart and avoid the epidemic and scourge of Amazon.com First their drones were jeopardizing the safety of passenger planes and now this. These poor souls probably thought they had received an Amazon.com parcel.
My mailbox is about a mile from my house....think I'm gonna keep it there. Should I shoot it before I open it?
What the hell...so sorry for this kid and his family, looks like such a nice kid. Who does something like that?!
