I thought there was a supply chain shortage.  That list would require a lot of bombs and a coordinated effort.

 

Seriously, there are some wacko people in this country.  Prank call or real, it's d8mn shame that people don't have better things to do with their time and energy.

 

Black folks need to come up with the equivalent of the Anti-Defamation League and Jewish Defense League.  That would solve a lot of problems.

RichardMurray,

The latest is the culprits are juveniles, but are tech-savvy. They apparently camouflaged their source numbers.

[ProfD]

I heard a report today that 20 FBI field offices have been investigating those threats and coordinating with local law enforcement agencies too.

Interesting no faces or names of these white juveniles

No arrests have been made yet but even afterwards, it will take a while before they release names and mug shots if they are white folks.

If the culprits are White juveniles, we may never see their faces. Police agencies and news media in various states have differing policies when it comes to identifying juveniles by name and face.

And the last time I heard a news report on one of the evening news programs about these incidents, racial animus was blamed for the deciding factor in the threats.
