Republican. Terrorism.

Call it what it is.

Exactly ... if it were black people, native people, environmentalists, or any ethnic group making bomb threats because of their political beliefs or because of something their political leaders said ... they'd be calling in the national guard, raiding homes and arresting people.....

... but when its right wing extremists .... it's just another news story.

Where is the fucking FBI??

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

The FBI can't stop the calls. The managers of those facilities have a duty to clear out for safety.

The FBI can chase the calls, after the fact. I'm sure we will be hearing of court cases and arrests in the coming months, but that work is starting now

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

On the phones making the calls. The FBI is Trumplandia.

SPRINGFIELD — Multiple grocery stores and clinics in Springfield were forced to evacuate Wednesday due to bomb threats.

Springfield police confirmed with News Center 7 that two Walmarts, located on N. Bechtle Avenue and S. Tuttle Road, and one Kroger, located on E. Main Street, were evacuated because of bomb threats.

Pregnancy Resource Center of Clark County and Planned Parenthood in Springfield were also evacuated, police confirmed.

As reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, schools, universities, and city and county buildings have also received threats over the past week.

News Center 7 spoke to parents who said these threats are scary for their kids.

“It’s very scary. You don’t know if it’s actually for real or if somebody is just playing a joke and its not a joke, its very serious. I mean, to get the kids panicked, they don’t even want to go to school some of them,” said Connie Hall.

Hall has a daughter in fifth grade at Snyder Park Elementary School. She said despite the continual threats, her daughter showed up.

Governor Mike DeWine ordered troopers from Ohio State Highway Patrol to be at each of the schools in the district all day. They also sweep the buildings before students get there.

“Yesterday there were two of them out here standing which kind of helps a lot with your anxiety and everything that’s going on,” Hall said. “You got to take each one of them seriously because you never know the time you let up is going to be the time that it actually happens.”

DeWine said he will keep troopers at the school as long as they are needed.

We will continue updating this story.

I really hope they can find some of the people making these calls and they the book thrown at them.

There are so many cities named Springfield. This one appears to be in Ohio

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately if you're following the news, it's easy to immediately know this was about Springfield, Ohio.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I was wondering too.

I mean if there aren't any actual bombs at what point do you just ignore the bomb threats?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Right before the real ones.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Pager bombs 2?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah the whole point is to make enough fake ones to get the authorities to drop security, then do a real one, rinse, repeat. It’s a common tactic to whittle down resources in combat (not saying terrorism is combat to be clear) if outnumbered
