Anybody have any advice or knowledge to share on this?

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?

1,3,5,7,
Is this the times bombs went off ?
Heard something on the radio this am

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.

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

Are you EMS?

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.

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

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.

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

Correct - it sort of looks that way if you follow this pattern:
