The Texas ones targeting black people?
I saw an update a few minutes ago saying one went off earlier today (err, yesterday in half the continental US) and was reported as two explosions at first. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is a few years old but still relevant
http://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/ucla-faculty-voice-are-all-terrorists-crazy tl;dr it's lazy and inaccurate to say they're crazy To add on to that, it is especially wrong to make that assumption since the other motivations (racism, violence targeting black people) are ones that historically were considered acceptable in some form or another within the last century (that is, living memory). Hell, lynchings were still committed into the 1960s, and I doubt most people would ever dare accuse the people who committed those atrocities of being crazy. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa ...

Hope they catch the crazy asshole that's leaving them Given the increase in radicalized white men carrying out terrorism in the united states, as well as the location and targets of these bombs thus far, it is very well within the realm of plausibility to say this could be a white nationalist carrying out terror attacks. Regardless of affiliation, this IS terrorism and has been successful thus far.

While this is clear domestic terrorism, I think we should refrain from trying to pin a label to this person(s) until, you know, they're actually caught and their motives are known. --- I wrote a horror short story collection.

@gunplagirl
There is nothing right now to suggest the bomber is targeting black people. Although that might end up being the case, there is no reason right now to jump the gun and start squawking about white terrorism. What I said in another topic: The first two victims were both black, but knew each other. even if that was random, east Austin is heavily black/hispanic, so even randomly targeting would have a high chance of minority victims. The third victim was a hispanic lady who lived next to who is thought to be the intended target and may have been wrongly targeted. The seemingly intended target also knows the first two. So there you have a connection that may be limited to these individuals outside of race. But then in west Austin, a more white/upperclass area, we have the latest two victims who apparently biked across a tripwire, which indicates a completely random bomb placement. The fact that this was presumably a tripwire in a more affluent area of the city suggests blacks are not a target. I live in Austin as well, not too far from where the first round of bombs went off. I think the latest one is going to really put people on edge given that (if it's true) it was a trip wire across one of the many paths people take every day in the city. ... Copied to Clipboard!

why would you focus on such a tiny semantic issue Because calling all mass shooters/terrorists crazy is an easy way to downplay their motives. If you consider "shooting a bunch of people" an action of a crazy person, then only crazy people are mass shooters. If bombing a clinic makes you crazy, then only crazy people bomb abortion clinics. Etc. And that means that we never have to confront things like "Maybe the White House's continued attacks on the media are vulcanizing the people who attack their offices" or things like that. --- ...

_Near_ posted...why would you focus on such a tiny semantic issue everyone thinks that people who commit mass shootings are crazy that doesn't erase the motives, because the motives are also crazy that doesn't erase systematic issues which fuel the motives, because those are also crazy People saying that it's crazy isn't the thing that's keeping us from talking about our real issues. And you're never going to convince people that mass shootings aren't crazy...and I don't see why you should be trying.
