Bomb threat prompts evacuation at Jewish community center in Delaware

Source: Action News / 6abc.com

WILMINGTON, Del. (WPVI) --
A bomb threat has prompted an evacuation at a Jewish community center in Talleyville, Delaware, north of Wilmington.

...

New Castle County Police say the center received a threatening email overnight and police were called at 7:47 a.m. Wednesday.

Video from Chopper 6 HD showed several police vehicles and a K-9 unit on the scene.

The Siegel JCC has been the target of several threats in recent weeks, including one on February 27th and two in January.

Seriously though, while I doubt anyone will discover any bombs, this is a major disruption and pita for those JCC's and the police.

They caught one guys by phone? E-mails should be easier to track if this was an amateur.

post 1933? And the hate is growing exponentially. The brownshirts of ameriKKKa led by presidents bannon and miller with their advisor david KKK duke are busy and pushing this country into some kind of conflict that doesn't bode well for what's left of this democracy.

the racist hillbilly cracker Mitch McConnell, and former welfare moocher Paul Ryan with the request "the GOP followers are knocking over gravestones in Jewish cemeteries, and calling in bomb threats. Would you please tell YOUR constituents to stop doing that." Period.

they should address the country about it, themselves, especially McConnell. It'd be great to have everyone petition THEM to speak out against this, since the so-called POTUS isn't.

rather than loan idiots? Maybe I have my on too tight this morning, but these bomb threats are coming in very frequently, so far the only one they have anything they can pin them on is one disgruntled reporter - and they only were charging him for 8 events. There are plenty more than 8. Aren't we into the 100's by now since the election?

A fleeting thought crossed my mind when I read that 100 Senators were asking Trump to do something. I hope Bannon doesn't see that as an excuse to declare martial law. I don't think that would be big enough of an event, but I feel the threats are a coordinated effort with a sought outcome.
