It's just the way that this all works. A month later, on October 22nd, the bomber struck again. This time in a bathroom at the Paramount Theater. Mm-hmm. Fortunately, the bomb was discovered before it was detonated. Oh, that's good. And the bomb squad was able to disassemble it without much trouble. But that right there, there was intense harm. Well, once you realize who he is, you're like, okay.

Like the other devices, the bomb was constructed with a roughly four-inch long pipe containing a .25 caliber shell. With that mechanism, small amount of gunpowder. At the time, roughly 3,500 patrons were in the theater, one floor above watching a show. Wow. So this would have caused massive casualties or at least massive damage. Yeah. And so like that one was like, oh shit.

So just as police were investigating the scene at the Paramount, the editor of the New York Herald Tribune received a letter by special delivery. Inside was a letter, written in block lettering, that said, "'Bombs will continue until the Consolidated Edison Company is brought to justice for their dastardly acts against me.

I intend with bombs to cause others to cry out for justice for me.'" But you're not telling anybody what happened. You're not telling anyone what happened. You're going to hurt someone. So no one's going to speak for you. And now you want these people that you're trying to harm or inconvenience at the very least to cry out for you. That's what I mean. Your thinking is a little scattered.

While they may not have discovered a second bomb, the bomber had made their intentions and motivation pretty clear in the letter, which was published in the Herald Tribune the next day. With the publication of the letter, the NYPD... had to end that whole theory of, like, maybe they're just pranksters and we don't want to feed their ego. Like, they had to end that whole thing.

The city clearly had a serial bomber on their hands, and he was clear that he intended to continue this reign of terror until he got what he wanted, which no one really knows how to give him that.
