Two people have been killed and four have been injured by explosions caused by package bombs in Austin, TX this month:
In Texas, Another Explosion Injures 2 Men In Austin
Authorities in Austin, Texas, responded to an explosion in the southwest part of the city late Sunday, with the city's emergency medical service tweeting that it caused two serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The blast comes on the heels of three package-bomb explosions in recent weeks that have killed two people and wounded two more, as well as a bomb threat that canceled a Saturday hip-hop concert at the South by Southwest festival. It is not yet known if Sunday night's explosion is related to any of the prior incidents.
Austin's police chief Brian Manley had made a direct appeal to the bomber(s) just hours earlier.

Nah, the bomber is probably a gay cowboy LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ activist who went into a queer drama rage over insufficient fudge-packing content at SXSW this year.

More likely a progressive who wants to prove how bad things are with Trump in charge.

So, an extremist anti-Trump progressive ... in Texas ?
I know Austin ain't Dallas, but seriously...
