Weird choices. Georgia I get because of the ongoing Trump prosecution, but if it were Trump, why not Colorado and Maine?
Maine state capitol was targeted
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. The choices feel kind of random?
Turner diary influenced race war types want to create chaos for chaos. They think they're destined to create an ethnostate with enough civil unrest so it's all a means to an end.
William Luther Pierce (author of The Turner Diaries /neo-Nazi) really should’ve received a good punch to the face or something during his lifetime. He was a loser before he met George Lincoln Rockwell and he was an irredeemable piece of shit after.
He was one of the few I was happy to get a cancer diagnosis. He really took too long to die. Safe and sound in his terrorist trailer park base right in the United States. He deserved everything McVeigh got
Fascists create chaos so they can try to sell you the idea that they're the only ones who can end the chaos.
Random threats are useful if the goal is to make everyone feel unsafe. Otherwise people might think it was targeted and that could help law enforcement speculate on who might be making the threats.
“Oh I wonder who it could have been? So many groups of people within the US looking to tear down democracy and install a fascist dictator. Guess we’ll never know.”
^ the FBI, probably
Colorado's supreme court was targeted.
Not part of the bomb threats though, totally different deal.
In order to create plausible deniability. Make the threat “external.”
Well that depends on the motivation for the bomb threat.
