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.
Not a single mention of the word terrorism. When the fuck is the media gonna start calling a spade a spade?
Theyre afraid of getting bomb threats themselves
You know exactly why… Terrorist = Brown/Muslim
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.
The targets are state capitols, literally political buildings.
They are government buildings.
Which government, at the root of everything, is doing something based on political ideology. The people in charge of government change based on politics and those politics drive policies that the government enforces. Ergo, the government is political so threats against it and its entities are terroristic.
i’m curious. what other motives do you see as possibilities?
It reminds me of this:

Bomb threats still cause terror.
Bomb incidents are almost never preceded by a threat.
I guess people can’t be terrorized by threats then, you solved terrorism!
Too bad Bin Laden didn’t know he could have terrorized the United States with some emails instead of killing all those people.
Oh, you don’t know the difference between a threat and an action.
Bin Laden did make threats in addition to the actions. The terrorism was the threat of more death and destruction.
Go read a dictionary!
A security drill would not send bomb threats.
Why not? They let cops shoot guns (loaded with blanks) during active shooter drills in some places.
Stupid drills planned ahead with school leadership is not the same thing as anonymous bomb threats.
I didn’t say they were the same. My only point is that sometimes people exercise poor judgement when making decisions or policies.
Sure, people do dumb things. But the don’t make anonymous bomb threats as part of a drill that can’t be identified by the FBI.
Fuck off with your discount false flag theory.
My only point is that you don’t know.
The government makes mistakes.

Funny way to phrase that.
They would if the security drill was operated by the security threat to test the system response.
That isn’t a drill, that is just a bomb threat.
