At least 13 Jewish Community Centers were evacuated Tuesday, after the third wave of bomb threats this month was made against the religious centers.

This latest spate of threats, which came in between 10 a.m. and noon, targeted JCCs in at least 11 states and is being investigated by the FBI.

"The FBI and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division are investigating possible civil rights violations in connection with threats to Jewish Community Centers across the country," the FBI said in a statement emailed to NBC News. "The FBI will collect all available facts and evidence, and will ensure this matter is investigated in a fair, thorough, and impartial manner. As this is matter is ongoing, we are not able to comment further at this time."

1. When you have a hatemonger president

it gives the green light to all the nut jobs and hate groups to attack whomever they think is a threat, be it Muslim, Jews, LBGTQ, or?

2. I still wonder if this is not a test run of sorts.

They (whomever "they" are) are trying to gage several things, among them, response to the news, level of anxiety in the Jewish community, awareness of the events in the press (type of coverage), and law enforcement responses. To date, in the month of January, 20 states have received threats.

Is this just a prelude? If something on a large scale happens, what will be the response from the public? The new administration?

I don't know if this will come to pass, but if it does, I think it will be quite ugly.

4. It doesn't seem to take much to encourage monsters to run wild.

They are always ready to spring into murderous mayhem at the drop of a sheet.
