2 IEDs Explode At Florida Mall, Police search for "Heavily built white Male" , seen running.

Two improvised explosive devices detonated at a mall in central Florida on Sunday, authorities said.

The devices appeared to resemble pipe bombs; they were made of PVC piping that was wrapped in electrical tape. The explosions occurred in a service corridor near a JCPenney store, and the mall was evacuated as a safety precaution. K9 units searched the mall on Sunday evening and the FBI was notified.

“It’s very concerning to us,” Lakes Wales Deputy Police Chief Troy Schulze said at a press conference on Sunday. “We’re a family-oriented community. This is a family-oriented mall. When this started, my son was actually working here.”

Police are searching for a white male described as heavily built and wearing a gray shirt and hat, according to the local outlet 10 News.

That's just weird. The Manson family was "family-oriented." The Mafia is "family-oriented."

They are the most deadly terrorists in the USA after all and this just reinforces that fact.

Shitler will get right on that any minute now as soon as Fox and friends tells him it's a problem.

I wonder what that means, anymore. Lots of hard right areas are "family-oriented" in the generic sense.
