TX - Austin Package Bombs #2

[Lala83]

That’s why I listen to Last Podcast on the Left - need a little levity when it gets downright grisly.
Hopefully his operation turns into a castration if that’s his path!

The map is very interesting. I think spatial analysis would be very helpful to LE.
I note how the bomber has gone from placing to shipping the bombs. Close call on the last one placed? Feeling the heat? I bet all types of shipping facilities in the area will be closely watched until person is apprehended. What other delivery modes are out there?
I know this is far out but lately, while reading the news, I’ve seen all manner of
people making sarcastic comments about banning various items. This is related to the gun control,debate. Perhaps the person is trying to make a point in that realm. Sadness and prayers to all affected. I hope it’s over soon.

Police Chief Robledo has issued a video statement about the situation at Pflugerville. Trying to find an authorized link to it. They are apparently investigating a suspicious package. Rumor going round is that a bomb sniffing dog got a hit near a FedEx building in the area?


ETA: Is this acceptable? She seems to be a CBS local reporter. I can't seem to watch the vid myself.

Adding non video text version of the statement. Very short and vague.

Sorry to be crude here... but follow the path as the bird flies - minus the apparent unrelated incendiary device . I have seen people do running paths in the same shape. He’s drawing a... man part. On to ball #2 with a swoop down. College student.
A crazy hypothesis but we do live in a world of eggplant emojis and penis-shaped running paths. Just sayin’
Y’all stay safe.

Wow! I googled it and it does seem that is a "thing"
It's a Nike running app to raise awareness for testicular cancer.
Puts a whole new spin on the "PACKAGE" bomber now doesn't it?

I can’t turn down a good pun.

If I’m right about this... this is the most Millennial crime ever. Next will be putting bombs in avocados.

I hope he gets caught tonight. Or she. But I’m pretty convinced it’s a white dude living alone or with a single family member (mom or dad) - and is a depressed and recently demoted mechanical/electrical (perhaps formerly held this role) laborer and libertarian/anti-government type living in a trailer on the outskirts of the city whose family used to be landowners. But perhaps I’m just going with a traditional psycho bomber plot line..
I’ll go ahead and assume he has greasy, stringy brown hair and a loping stride. And mousey moustache.

Photos of suspect in CCTV at FedEx - 6 photos included in link. White male with gloves and possible wig. http://cbsaustin.com/news/local/cbs-austin-obtains-photos-of-austin-bombing-person-of-interest

The photos show the person, possibly wearing a wig and gloves, carrying two packages. According to time stamps on the pictures the person was in the store around 7:30 on Sunday evening.

Our sources tell us these pictures are from surveillance video taken inside a South Austin FedEx Office store on Brodie Lane where the person shipped the two packages. One of the two packages exploded on a conveyor belt at a FedEx sorting facility outside of San Antonio in Schertz. The second package was intercepted at a facility near the Austin airport.

Is it true? Takedown on I35NB at exit 250???

He’s even wearing gloves in the photos. Most people don’t do that when just shipping a package.

 

[ZoriahNZ]

Lots of chatter about I35nb. Rumor is suspect detonated device in his van when cornered.

I hope to God they've caught him.

Btw, has anyone else posted this from January 1st this year? It seems like it might be connected...

Suspect is being arrested after donating device at Goodwill - NOT detonating - and shots fired (verified Twitter account). LINK: https://twitter.com/krisb_kvue/status/976365793721114624?s=21

 

[ZoriahNZ]

More tweets with footage here. Seems like a lot of staging going on. I think the rumors may be correct. I think they did get him.

Oh wow, that’s pretty interesting. Seems like it could be a trial run to see how quickly people react, how LE reacts etc.

 

[Lala83]

Totally got him. YASSSS!!! Hope the LE are ok
