BREAKING: Buckhead Anti-Defamation League office receives bomb threat

Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Four Anti-Defamation League offices, including one in Atlanta, received bomb threats on Tuesday, the nonprofit’s CEO said.

The Atlanta, Boston, New York and Washington, D.C. offices received threatening telephone calls on the same day four Jewish Community Centers and one day school were targeted in a new round of threats.

“This is not normal,” Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement posted on Twitter. “We will not be deterred or intimidated.”

In another tweet, Greenblatt called on President Donald Trump “to take concrete steps to catch those threatening the Jewish community.”

to terrorize with fake threats until we get used to it, ignore it, then someone actually does the unthinkable. Finally blame it on fake immigrant terrorists and declare martial law. That's the fascist way.

A "fall" guy would be easy for a "president" who makes up shit on the fly and essentially goes unchallenged in any meaningful way by the media. Sure, some are finally finding their backbone, but now they need the voice to go with it.

I do not understand why they haven't tracked more of this down in terms of where these calls and emails (some of today's threats were reportedly sent by email) and figured out who is doing this. Similar calls at the same time of day . . . . I find it very hard to believe that the government doesn't have the tools to track this down. I fear that one of these places really will be attacked. Does anyone else think it is odd that they have only found one person who they said sent 8 of these threats but have identified no one else, given the tools the government has? Does anyone agree that it's surprising they haven't found out where most of these threats are coming from? I fear the WORST with this group in charge.
