An NAACP Building Has Been Bombed & No One Is Talking..

On Tuesday morning around 10:45AM an "improvised explosive device" discharged near the NAACP building in Colorado Springs frightening residents and workers in the area. But thankfully no one was injured. The significance of this event is not only around the fact someone bombed an NAACP building in 2015, but what's also concerning is that no one is talking about it. The suspect is still at large and is described to be a "balding white male around 40 years old." It's just like we're going back in time again. black lives are being taken away and no one is receiving justice, and now buildings that ran by black organizations are being bombed, what's next? Are we gonna have to continue to fight for our rights like our elders did during the civil rights movement? In fact, did the civil rights movement ever end?

According to Hello Beautiful:

 When FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives arrived on the scene, it was determined that the explosive had been deliberately placed. They had also found a red gasoline can in the vicinity that was meant to pop off, but did not ignite.

Amy Sanders, an FBI agent, was neutral on the matter, telling the Denver Post, "The investigation is ongoing and is not known at the time if the NAACP or a business in the vicinity was the intended target."

Gene Sutherland, owner and barber of Mr. G's Hair Design Studio, which is also part of Colorado's NAACP, was cutting a clients hair when he heard the explosion. He shared with the Gazette, "I had a corrections officer in my hair chair, and he said it sounded like a shotgun blast." Moments after the blast Sutherland was joined by neighbors outside to see what happened as authorities were on their way. It was witnesses of the aftermath that first noticed the important detail of the red can,

Henry Allen Jr., President of the Colorado Springs' NAACP, spoke on behalf of it's members and residents with a message of positivity, especially for the many that were shaken by the incident. "We believe in civil rights for all, and really we won't work in fear and we won't be deterred. We'll move on. This won't deter us from doing the job we want to do in the community." 

The manhunt continues for the suspect. As requested by the Denver media anyone with information about the explosive device should call the FBI tip line at 303-434-7787
