Suspicious Packages Sent To Political Figures
FBI is impounding a white late model van. It looks like its covered in stickers. They are actually covering it with a tarp? I would love to see what all of those stickers say. I wonder what they don't want us to see?

Arrest made in bombing threats...56 year old white male current Aventura resident, and formerly from New York. More to follow. Evidently has prior arrest record and a history of making threats prior.

News conference at 2:30pm by DOJ. Taken to FBI Miami headquarters.

As I would expect, they ran this guy to ground relatively quickly. They have "a 56 year old man" in custody, so I am sure we will all know more soon.

No, he can't type Florida. The A and S characters are side by side on a standard keyboard.

He tipes about as well as he makes fail bombs.

Pretty clear this dude is 97.9% shy of sane.

Seeing reports that his van is plastered with Pro-Trump/Pro-GOP stickers.

Shit.

We'll never hear the end of this now, that he stands for all of us, from these assholes at CNN and MSNBC Frown

Too bad, he was just getting the knack of making those bombs. He was almost at the part where they explode. Which is when he would have blown himself up.

If this lunatic was a Trump supporter, it won't change one vote. Unlike James Hodgkinson, he didn't actually harm anybody. Of course the Democrats will make all they can of this, and of course the media will repeat and amplify. And it won't change one vote.

That will be huge letdown for the media. They can't wait to report he owns guns, likes Nazi memorabilia, abuses women, etc. You know, the typical Trump voter.

I have no idea where he stands politically, but there's no doubt how the media wants to label him.

So I'm supposed to believe that a guy was sophisticated enough to build pipe bombs with timers, then stupid enough to use the most unreliable package delivery system in America to assure that they arrived on time to detonate as planned?

Even my mother, who lives around 100 miles away, knows that if she mails me a letter it could arrive anywhere between 2 to 10 days later. Not exactly precision.

A vehicle covered in stickers? Yep, guy's a loon.

Ugh, a Trump Supporter, really?

That sucks.

I don't personally care what stickers an insane person plasters on his vehicle. A nutball is a nutball. But I agree; the media will be short stroking all over the place with this.

I went back and paused the image of the van before they covered it and the left side windows have a combination of a collage of pictures I can't make out, a larger circular emblem of a political figure and right below papers and poster like pamphlets on the left rear window and the same on the back windows with some American flags. On the side window and right back window you can make out what looks like a Republican elephant on them but you can't read any of the text and I can't make out if some of the pictures are Donald Trump or other political figures. Until we know more, could go either way on this as to if it is actually meant to project anti-Trump or pro-Trump sentiment.

Just providing what detail I can see.
