Terror in Austin, Texas – Trip Wires on Bomb Injure Two
A fourth bombing in Austin, Texas injured two white male bicyclists at around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday night in the Travis Country neighborhood on Dawn Song Drive. Police believe it may have been trip wires that set the bomb off, but had not confirmed it due to it being dark. The use of trip wires signaled to authorities that the level of sophistication on the bomb increased past what they previously suspected…if this incident is connected to the other three cases.
The two males were said to have “non-life-threatening” injuries and were in good condition.
“If this explosion was the result of a bomb using trip wire technology, that is showing a different level of skill above that we were already concerned that this suspect or suspects may possess…The blast was activated by someone either handling, kicking or coming into contact with a trip wire that activated the device.” Austin Police Chief Brian Manley
Police waited until daylight to process the scene and asked people to stay inside their homes until all was cleared. The Chief stated that 500 officers have conducted 236 interviews, and followed up on 435 leads since the string of bombings began.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

The normal media narrative for such incidents is that it must be white nationalist, since the first bombings targeted the black community. But this last incident injured two white male subjects, so whether or not it’s related is unknown. The first three bombings specifically targeted black neighborhoods, with two deaths and two injuries.
For everyone asking if we think RGA is responsible for the #AustinBombings:
Red Guards Austin is a violent extremist group that openly calls for armed political violence and martyrdom. They are a legitimate threat to the public but there is no indication that they are involved. pic.twitter.com/ZMh12j2BqH

Note: The Red Guards Austin group is a red-masked Marxist/Leninist group that has caused injuries within the Austin area. Similar to Antifa anarchists, they are part of the “Resistance.” It is not known nor has it been confirmed that they have anything to do with these bombings.
It’s one thing to tell the public not to open suspicious packages. It’s quite another to tell them to watch out for tripwires in the street. #austinbombings #austin
