All had Bombs sent to them, I wouldve thought this
would be all over the news.
Apart from the AP and Rueters tweeting it out, there's hardly a mention from the
MSM.

If they're Black, they're BLM.
If they're Latinx, they're part of a drug gang.
If they're white...they're mentally ill.

If they're Republicans, they've done nothing wrong and besides, everyone knows bombs are just "arms" that are protected by the 2nd Amendment. "Bombs don't kill people, people kill people."

I guess that since it looks like a copycat, people are urging a low profile, to lessen more copycats.
That said, mass shootings are copycat, and get tons of coverage.
Then again, the manifesto might be a ruse. Time will tell.

(37,955 posts)...the suspicious package found behind the Museum of Fine Arts was determined to be trash and not a hazard:

Now, returning to what happened tonight:

Holmes hall, where the package exploded on the Northeastern University campus, houses the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program along with the journalism department.
(snips from that thread)
This does not mean there's a definite link at the moment but it does raise questions given the news that a package detonated and a person is injured and hospitalized.
Police say that it was a Pelican type case that detonated. A note was found at the scene but officials have not released the contents. They are looking for the person responsible for this and another suspected device.

(452 posts)On the baby's doctor's advice, she took him to the Children's Hospital. She did not have insurance and the bills were massive. She told the hospital that she didn't have insurance. When the boy was better she received three bills a month apart with the last bill marked final notice. She explained to the hospital that she couldn't afford to pay. They told her that if she could pay something more than 30 days after the date on the final notice, to mark it a donation since they would not be sending her any more bills. I don't know if they are still doing this.
