I wish the news writers would stop saying that the bombs were sent to CNN. They weren't sent to CNN as a media company: they were sent to former politicians and government officials who just happen to work at CNN now. All the intended recipients are people from President Obama's administration and/or people who've criticised President Trump.
And, as I read about these bombs, I can't help but be reminded of countries like Russia and China and North Korea, where critics of the government get "disappeared".
And they don't stop showing up. I hope these are the last, but I kinda doubt it.
Federal authorities discovered two more explosive devices, one addressed to Senator Cory Booker and the other to James R. Clapper Jr., the former director of national intelligence, law enforcement officials said on Friday.
The package sent to Mr. Clapper was addressed to CNN’s offices in New York and was similar to a pipe bomb found Wednesday that was addressed to John O. Brennan, a former C.I.A. director. The package for Mr. Brennan was found at CNN’s offices in Midtown Manhattan.
The discoveries came as investigators looking into a spate of pipe bombs sent this week have turned their attention to southern Florida, believing that a number of the devices were mailed from there and passed through a mail facility near Miami, two people briefed on the matter said Thursday.
The package addressed to Mr. Clapper at CNN was discovered on Friday morning at a United States Postal Service facility in Midtown Manhattan, a few blocks south of the news network’s building. The package for Mr. Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, was found in Florida, the F.B.I. said.
A total of 12 packages have been found so far. All of them have been addressed to prominent critics of President Trump, including former President Barack Obama; former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.; former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; Representative Maxine Waters of California; former Attorney General Eric Holder; the actor Robert De Niro; and George Soros, the billionaire Democratic donor.
All of the envelopes had return address labels bearing the misspelled name of Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat whose district is in southern Florida.
The first package was discovered on Monday afternoon at the suburban New York home of Mr. Soros. While investigators initially thought that some devices were hand delivered, they now believe it is likely all of them were sent in the mail. Using information collected by the United States Postal Service, investigators have focused their attention on certain Florida postal centers, including one in Opa-locka near Miami.
And they don't stop showing up. I hope these are the last, but I kinda doubt it.

Or how TD hasn't been shut down yet. No chance in hell this dude wasn't active in there. It has proven itself time and time again to be a breeding ground for nutjobs that go on to do horrible things. How can the admins be proud of hosting something like that? I just don't get it.

The first one sent to CNN was addressed to John Brennan. He does NOT work for them. He works for NBC.

Still can't get over the fact that reddit worldnews and reddit US news seem to bury these stories..
Very scary stuff happening.
Strange that a site that calls itself "the front page of the internet" struggles to deliver news.
Funny, I subscribe to r/worldnews and it seems to come up all the time.
