Several state buildings across the U.S. are on alert Wednesday, following a series of bomb threats made to buildings across the country. Threats were reported in several states— including Mississippi, Connecticut, Kentucky, and Georgia state capitols.
Weird choices. Georgia I get because of the ongoing Trump prosecution, but if it were Trump, why not Colorado and Maine?
Well that depends on the motivation for the bomb threat.
Not a single mention of the word terrorism. When the fuck is the media gonna start calling a spade a spade?
Right now, the threats aren’t considered to be specific or credible by the FBI, they don’t know who sent them, and they don’t know why they were sent. For all we know, this might be some sort of national security drill conducted for the purpose of preparing for some future January 6th scenario.
It doesn’t matter, it’s still terrorism. Whether or not the threat is credible doesn’t really matter, it is still terrorism.
Why do you think that?
the definition of terroism is using violence or the threat of violence to get your way politically.
Absent evidence of political motive, I wouldn’t call this terrorism.
i’m curious. what other motives do you see as possibilities?
It reminds me of this:
