MADISON, Ind. (AP) — Police say a second pipe bomb has exploded in a southeastern Indiana city in less than two weeks and that they think the criminal justice system is being targeted.
Madison Police Chief Dan Thurston says the latest explosion happened early Wednesday in the driveway of the home of Jefferson County Superior Court Judge Mike Hensley. It left black scorch marks. The first explosion happened March 7 across the street from the Madison Police Department.
There were no injuries in either incident. Police believe the two explosions are connected.
Thurston says police see the bombings as a “directed threat to our criminal justice system.”
Hensley’s son, Evan Hensley, said his father “is holding up well.” Federal, state and local authorities are investigating.
Madison is about 50 miles northeast of Louisville, Kentucky.

Is this Sovereign Citizen territory? Indiana is not as crazy as Tennessee but they must have some.
Clearly, ISIS has now penetrated the Heartland. We need a savior like Donald Trump more than ever.
Donald Trump approves these pipe bombs:
JAKE TAPPER (MODERATOR):…Today Hillary Clinton, your potential general election opponent clearly indicated see sees this as an issue for the campaign. She said “This kind of behavior is repugnant, we set the tone for our campaigns, we should encourage respect, not violence.” Do you believe that you’ve done anything to create a tone, where this kind of violence would be encouraged?
DONALD TRUMP: …when they see what’s going on in this country, they have anger that’s unbelievable. They have anger, they love this country. They don’t like seeing bad trade deals, they don’t like seeing higher taxes, they don’t like seeing a loss of their jobs, where our jobs have just been devastated. And I know – I mean, I see it. There is some anger. There’s also great love for the country. It’s a beautiful thing in many respects.
Hmmm … if by ‘savior,’ you mean a sacrifice to throw into the volcano, then yes, Donald Trump is the ‘savior.’ There’s always an active volcano somewhere on this earth.
