That's what the news is reporting. All from a question asked after the second one.
Media: "Do you believe race is a factor in these bombings?"
Police: "we are not ruling anything out, however these two incidents did involve African American victims"
Let's let this play out before we make these assumptions.
Unless I missed an updated report...

Although any kind of bombing is unheard of in this low-crime city, police did not initially treat the March 2 incident as a homicide. Instead, they cast suspicion on the victim, a 39-year-old African-American man named Anthony Stephan House.
"We can't rule out that Mr. House didn't construct this himself and accidentally detonate it," APD Assistant Chief Joseph Chacon told reporters at the time.
He added that there was no continuing threat to the public. "I do not believe that we have someone going around leaving packages like this," he said.
On March 5, APD released a "suspicious death" bulletin that said, "we believe this is an isolated incident and that there is no continuing threat to the community."

House played football for Pflugerville High School, graduated from Texas State University in 2008, and worked as a project manager for Texas Quarries, according to his Facebook page. Friends and neighbors told reporters he was married with an 8-year-old daughter and was president of his homeowners' association.
On Monday, APD reclassified his death as a homicide, warned the public not to open any unexpected packages, especially hand-delivered or odd-looking ones, and said it is working with the FBI and the ATF to hunt down what would appear to be a serial bomber on the loose.

I agree that it could be, but I think it is either a truly mentally ill person or some nutjob who got screwed over by SXSW or the city and is trying to cause havoc.AggieOO said:ChiTownsFinest84 said:Agree but now with the third person being elderly hispanic woman whole different motives now.

Are Hispanics not considered minorities in your book?
Not saying it's definitely race-related, but still could be some racist a-hole targeting minorities.
I do.AggieOO said:ChiTownsFinest84 said:Agree but now with the third person being elderly hispanic woman whole different motives now. I hope they catch the sob.cityagboy said:I don't think anyone is saying that is the motive. It is fair to say that may be the motive.tailgatetimer10 said:

You are probably right but they could have chosen this week as they know the city is having their most high profile event of the year.AggieOO said:
