Jewish Centers Across U.S. Evacuated Amid New Wave of Bomb Threats

Source: Haaretz

Several Jewish Community Centers in the U.S. were evacuated Wednesday after receiving near-simultaneous bomb threats, according to various local reports, just nine days after a nearly identical incident targeted 16 Jewish insitutions across the eastern U.S.


Bomb threats were reported in Miami and Palm Springs Garden, Florida, Birmingham, Alabama, West Hartford and Woodbridge, Connecticut, Newton and Worcester, Massachussets, Scotch Plains, New Jersey, Albany and Syracuse, New York, Detroit, Michigan, San Rafael, California and Nashville, Tennessee.

A local NBC affiliate said two community centers had been evacuated in Connecticut, while the Miami Beach Jewish Community Center in Florida was also threatened and briefly evacuated Wednesday, according to local police. At the same time, the Jewish center in Birmingham, Alabama was also evacuated, as was a center in Nashville, Tennessee, according to The Tennessean.

I figure it is only a matter of time. The reactions and responses will be....um...interesting to say the least.

Why, a DUer just the other day was criticizing those who would suggest such a thing!

Said we were being "unhelpful" in worrying about such things!!

Aren't we so fortunate to have people 'splain things to us, lest we spin out of control.

(Psss...who was it? PM me.)

They better catch them and make an example out of them or we'll have all kinds of 'threats' to deal with.

worse because of Republicans!

The calls were said to be prerecorded in some cases and live in others, with the caller using voice disguising technology, and likely came from a single source.

against this BS. Bannon has freely admitted to being a nationalist (but not white part he swears).
