The only downside is not finding out why he did it.
 
I saw some stills from the FEDEX store video and from more than one angle, you can see the suspect wearing what appear to be white cotton gloves. I know it is hindsight, but given the climate in Texas now, wouldn't that seem curious?



Can't find a link at the present time.....

Its been nice and cool here for the last few days, but still, white cotton gloves without a jacket ?
Definitely odd. Whats even weirder is this guy was young.
 
Well, so much for the argument that making explosives is an easy/ viable alternative to firearms.

Im glad he offed himself and saved the taxpayers money. He was the guy. End of story and a three month, three million dollar investigation to conclude “Yup. That was him!”
 
Glad he didnt' take any LEO's with him.
 
Good police work in tracking him down.

He set off 5 bombs. Killed two people and injured three.

The argument that bombings could replace mass shootings absolutely holds water.

I'll bet they'll find out. Internet forensics, interviews with friends and family, etc.

Good riddance to really bad trash. Hope Hell is as warm as they say it is.
 
What's the over/under going to be for :

Psychotropic drugs

Schizophrenia

Depression

NRA membership

Conservative vs. Liberal

Another white male terrorist
 
The coward got a taste of his own medicine. Kudos to those who were on his tail.

So far all I know is that he had a blog from his college days in 2012, in which he said he wasn't politically inclined but described himself as a conservative, said "homosexuality is just not natural", didn't approve of abortions, and thought sex offender registries should be eliminated.

"I view myself as a conservative, but I don't think I have enough information to defend my stance as well as it should be defended,"

If he were Muslim then it would all be about how Islam is evil. If he were Black then it would be about Black crime. Being considered insane is a White privilege.

So you are saying all the above is unbecoming?

Well, and the fact that he faces no punishment. Unless one believes in an afterlife, all he faced was a few minutes of fear (maybe) before he did himself in and probably intended to off himself anyway all along. He didn't spend the rest of his life in a small cage.

Pretty much. Trump and many conservatives really do view crime through a racial lens - when white people commit crimes they are an aberration, a fluke, due to circumstances or bad luck.

When POC commit crimes, it is due to their innate bad character.

Sure. This POS was definitely a terrorist. A White Supremacist blowing up POC. So, yeah. Slam dunk.

But, people will resist labeling him correctly. Not sure why. But, I know it is inevitable.
