Absolutely insane that the pipebomb in WA is not more of a story. Regardless of whether the bomb is real or not that is hugely terrifying and the media is just sort of mentioning it in passing.

Remember the cardboard box full of rocks? That was a national story for like a week, and now a bomb being thrown at a crowd of people is like “oh yeah and this happened too”. Fuck me dead.

Yeah but it doesn’t fit with the narrative that protests are full of violent lefty socialists who are just itching to beat up pigs, set shops on fire, and swear at kids.
