"SNIP.....

An explosive device was found on Monday near the Westchester County home of George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist who is a favorite target of right-wing groups, according to a law enforcement official.

The device did not explode on its own, and bomb squad technicians “proactively detonated” it, the official said.

Federal and state law enforcement officials responded to the scene in Katonah, N.Y., a hamlet in the upscale town of Bedford in northern Westchester.

The Bedford Police Department and the Westchester County Department of Public Safety said Monday night that they were investigating at that location. The police declined to answer questions but said that a hazardous device unit had been requested.

The right has always terrorized some groups. This is new all over again.

that are responsible for this increase in dangerous anti semitism and racism. Some on the right block a black neighbour from getting to their apartment or call the authorities on a black child's lemonnaide stand. Some plant bombs.

You just wait and see that excuse grow with the tighty righties. Not only are they violent, they can't accept any responsibility for their actions
