Nation Unsettled
Jul. 15th, 2018 02:45 pmAP - While minds have been taken off the numerous linked mutant attacks that occurred on July 4th by the mania that is World Cup soccer, many are still unsettled. Despite SHIELD’s rapid response to the attacks, significant damage occured at various locations along with numerous injuries. The government and SHIELD been silent about any attempts to bring the situation to a close.
There have been unconfirmed reports that an unnamed group of mutants also responded to the attacks and attempted to stop the destruction that occurred.
No organization has stepped forward to claim responsibility, though the violence and general unease spread among those not enhanced with the X-gene calls to mind a certain Mutant Brotherhood. There has not been any information about the whereabouts of their leadership or their current agenda toward non-mutants.
Mutant civil rights groups and other mutant supporters have strongly condemned these attacks. It has done nothing to quell the growing tensions between the two sides even as the ACLU supported lawsuit continues to make its way through the court system.
Police presence has been enhanced across the nation especially at locations deemed to be possible targets. It may be too little too late as whatever point the perpetrators wanted to make known has clearly been communicated. Whether police activity is based on actionable intelligence or a continued abundance of caution is currently unclear.
