Austin police is monitoring a “low credibility” threat to the downtown area slated for Thursday, Friday and Satruday.

Police did not say who made the threat or what the threat was, but said they’ve relayed the information to regional and federal authorities as is typical with threats of this nature.

to ratchet up fear? Seems like the toothless 'or else' we used to deliver to our kids when they got too restive and out of control. Really don't want anything bad to happen anywhere but blind items just make me angry rather than fearful. Angry at the people so manipulative as to use them.
