I still don't know the full story behind the attack.

I don't even know they ever explained what his wife's connection was or what they did aborad.

She was arrested - then I never heard a peep again.

Nobody knows. They won't release the footage.

I heard something about it a month ago but it wasn't anything special. More ????? mainly.

I think the media are a bunch of assholes.

They can go on and on about some idiotic Justin Bieber story, but one of the biggest terror attacks in decades will not be followed up on.

Someone from the Feds knew Paddock, then she got silenced before she could say anything else.

Some fuckery is afoot.

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist I find it odd that all the bombs were found before they were detonated (or failed to detonate) and none came close to any target. Plus Homeland Security in NY keeps going on and on about how the bombs were discovered by the postal service and they are actually not setup to detect explosives (their words not mine).

I don't think that's odd.

I think those kind of pacakages get sent all the time.

I find it odd how they report on it.

It's a pretty convenient way to frame themselves as the recipients of violence.

It might be a regular occurrence, but make a big news story out of it and sympathy turns towards Democrats.

I would like to see stats on how often packages like those get sent.

I have a suspicion that, if we understood this better, this might be a nothing burger.

That is what I was thinking as well. It feels like someone trying to drum up sympathy for them.

And at no point were they in any real danger

I am just not sure why they would pick Obama and Hillary.

didn't a bomb also get sent to the white house?

This sounds like a complete nothing burger.

No. They initially said it was but then retracted it

I don't understand why Tim got so excited.

how legit is this?

sorry if this is wrong place for it

sending bombs to politicians isn't normal, nor should it ever be

it's definitely something that ppl can get worked up about

Who the hell said it should be normal?

My argument was concerning the frequency.

DO you think it should be normal that an infant dies in Africa?

Do we have a report on it every time it happens?

<:MercyWut:303986595395010564>

Don't put words in my mouth.

infants die, that's normal

we'll never reach 0% infant mortality

And depending on how often the Secret Service intercepts suspicious packages, THAT might be normal.

no need to get all defensive tho, i wasn't attacking your personally
