Dozens of Bomb Threats Reported Today
12-13-2018, 03:22 PM
Dozens of Bomb Threats Reported Across America in Apparent Bitcoin Ransom Scam
NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau Wrote:“We are currently monitoring multiple bomb threats that have been sent electronically to various locations throughout the city. These threats are also being reported to other locations nationwide and are not considered credible at this time."
Hopefully is just a hoax and not another right-wing terrorist.

Last I checked, falsely making terrorist threats for the purpose of extortion is still a crime. And quite likely weighted at the same level as making actual terrorist threats.

Would somebody please tell Gizmodo that Edmonton is not in the USA?
One guard is still in the hospital.
As for the Bitcoin crap... Damn these coattail-riding opportunists.

Using an IED to rob a bank? When did our world become part of Batman: the Animated Series?
