Authorities treating mailed bombs as 'live devices,' not hoaxes, NY police commissioner says

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

New York City Police Commissioner James O’Neill said Thursday that law enforcement officials are treating the suspicious packages containing possible explosives sent to high-profile Democrats this week as “live devices," not “hoax devices.”

“This is something that should be taken seriously,” O’Neill told reporters at the press conference in New York. “We are treating them as live devices."

“As far as a hoax device, we’re not treating it that way,” O’Neill added.

His remarks came after some conservatives, including radio host Rush Limbaugh, suggested that the bombs could have been part of a hoax or false-flag operation.

1. As well they should, even if they're non-operational.

They could be sending out fakes to follow up with real ones, so people get their hands blown off or worse.

You have to treat them as actual devices, no matter what.

Hopefully they catch the culprit.

2. Why don't they just fucking tell us already?

I understand some details need to not be published while they look for suspects, but why haven't they made a clear statement about the nature of the devices?
