Wasn’t that the story yesterday with the trip Wire?

Yes, and they think that bomb is connected to the others. The suspect is just tweaking the game a little.

Edit: to me....this is like the DC Sniper....just a different method of terror.
 
Re: Headline News Thread

Yes, they’ve been saying this for days.

Am I going crazy here, hasn’t this been the lead on just about every major news program for a week? I have seen so many people make posts that this isn’t being covered or they’re shocked that they’re connected. I don’t get it. Obviously they’re connected. We knew they were connected after #2.

I agree that those who haven't heard about it since #2 either don't watch/look up any news, or they are just running whatever agenda they want to run.

I honestly hadn't seen anything on them before the 4th one. I also don't watch TV news being that I work nights. I get most of it from here or from social media posts. I had a coworker make a similar comment on FB today about the (apparently perceived) lack of coverage. I follow the local paper here and back home and was surprised to have not seen anything. May have just been a perfect storm of bad timing.

1. (LES!) The first time the bombs were reported here (that I know of) was when they connected the first two. So it was a delayed response, but non-stop since.
2. The FedEx bomb went off prematurely, from my understanding. FedEx was NOT the target.

I was hearing it even on the stuff like INside Edition as a lead up. Also seeing a ton of posts sying no one is covering it.

And seeing a bunch of posts saying no one is covering the resource officer who shot the student. Not sure what rock these people live under but it is a vast cover up so people won't see armed resource officers work. No. They. Don't. The kid wasn't deterred. He is just dead. It isn't normal to have anyone shooting in a school. Period. We are really effed up.

I didn't hear about either of these, the bombing until a few days ago, when people in my beer group were worried about FedEx searching their illegal beer shipments, and this other shooting until I read your post. I don't even know what a resource officer is, have never heard of that before.

But, I don't read or watch the news, because it seems so pointless and useless. I just deal with my own stuff.

I had to take a training for work (am adjunct at a Catholic U). Having dealt with trangender folk in my career I could get why but to extinguish gender seems to discount the people who want to claim a particular one and it is a big part of their identity. I would much rather just know what a person identified with and use that. (not articulately put but I am not sure how to say it)

It's completely equivalent to compare a handful of adolescents to the President, a third of Congress, and half the Republican party.
