Anybody have any advice or knowledge to share on this?
Hopefully it's the bomb makers this time.
I'm taking care of them.
Tragic... But let's keep trying to ban guns.

I pray they have a full recovery. God bless!
Whoever's responsible needs to be killed.
We'll do our best!
Good job
So this one was set to a trip wire. That's a new angle.

Switched to a means of placement less likely to be seen by a security camera.
I've been camping for a week and haven't followed.
Is there any particular target or recognizable motive?

not yet. or at least not that the authorities have released to the public. this new bomb marks a location departure from the first 3.carpe vinum said:

Doesn't sound right. From memory, the first two happened just before 7am. The third around 11am. This last one around 9pm.jt2hunt said:

Are you EMS?

IIRC he's a trauma surgeon.
It seems like it would take some time to set up a device like this. I am surprised that no one has seen anything. Hopefully they are withholding that information until they catch the people involved.
Well, the first 3 were in predominately minority neighborhoods (that was reported on the radio anyway), so the initial thought was white supremacist hate crime. But this latest one apparently happened in an somewhat affluent predominately white neighborhood, so the media narrative is getting a bit of a shakeup so far.carpe vinum said:

I don't think it would, the sign/bomb side would be a self contained and prepped unit.
Set it down, run the trip wire and connect it then scoot. Wouldn't look any different than anyone else setting up a sign for something.

The first three were all east side of town, two of the victims were black and went to the same church so there was lots of speculation about racism being a motive. All three were also packages placed on the front door that were not delivered by usps, ups, fedex, etc.
This bomb was supposedly some kind of tripwire trigger placard near a yard sign, victims were white, on the west side of town.
We may have another unibomber, with no real understandable target motives until they catch him.
gonna go out on a limb and say that these were test sights and he / she has fine tuned the recipe and is moving to more affluent locations
Told my relatives in Austin that anyone going outside the wire needs to be on high alert for IEDs.
Flag it, set up a perimeter and then call it in to EOD.

These are the crimes that worry me.
No motive, no pattern, no crazy person, no record...just a regular dude making bombs for...whatever reason.
Very hard to pin down.

There could very well be all 3 in this case, we just don't know it yet.BrazosDog02 said:

Find it hard to at least not consider the person crazy here
This reminds me of the DC sniper, but with bombs instead of a gun.
Maybe they said 3,5,7,9
I heard them talking about it looking like the hours on a clock. Started at 1, 3, 5, then 7 clockwise. But this was some news director's personal opinion and not necessarily from a credible lead.jt2hunt said:

I believe the first one was on Texas Independence Day, whatever that is worth.

Yeah, I'm not putting much credence towards their idea of the time having significance since random packages and/or trip wires have some unpredictability as to when they would be detonated.
The motives of someone who would perpetrate such evil are unfathomable to me.

Correct - it sort of looks that way if you follow this pattern:agenjake said:I heard them talking about it looking like the hours on a clock. Started at 1, 3, 5, then 7 clockwise. But this was some news director's personal opinion and not necessarily from a credible lead.jt2hunt said:

The latest bomb was set up in an upper middle class area. Have a friend who lives a couple of blocks away and they said the following in a text this morning.
"The explosive was attached to a sign that was placed there between 7:30 - 8:30. It read "Drive Like Your Kids Live Here" and had a trip wire attached to it. When the guys rode past on bicycles, one of their legs brushed the wire and the device detonated. Nails and other objects were everywhere...it was tragic"
