I was a bit floored when they released his age and picture. What do you think his challenges were he discussed in this recording?

I feel so sorry for his family and mother, including her proud Facebook post regarding her son a few years ago.

I, of course, also feel sorry for the victims and the lives forever destroyed.

I would classify this as a confession, Manley said.

On this recording the suspect describes the six bombs that he constructed with a level of specificity that he identified the differences between those six bombs, he said.

"Having listened to that recording, he does not at all mention anything about terrorism, nor does he mention anything about hate. but instead it is the outcry of a very challenged young man talking about challenges in his personal life that led him to this point, he said.

But in terms of a motive, Manley said, Were never going to be able to put a rationale behind these acts.

Most of them weren't young and handsome and/or their motives were readily apparent, often coupled with a troubled past.

This scenario isn't like most.

Are you trying to insinuate something, by the way?

What is wrong with you? This is a very high profile "Current Event".

Do we just not discuss these things anymore or something? Did I miss some sort of memo?

There's questions out there and people want answers. This Austin bombing scenario is different than others:

1) Young, relatively handsome experienced bomb maker with no advanced degrees (doesn't fit bomber profile)
2) No apparent troubled past
3) No apparent motive

Find your way into some Trump hating or anti gun topic if this discussion doesn't suit you.

He was a piece of shit that apparently hated minorities (his first 3 victims) and wanted to instill terror. Who cares if hes young and handsome when he literally killed people with a fucking bomb.

You're making a topic glorifying a white murderer because you know it will be controversial and stir people up.

Nothing to even insinuate.

The above had a tumor pressing on his brain. Otherwise, his actions didn't make sense, even to himself. Randomly, it also happened in Austin.

Yeah, quite often. Either apparent motives or troubled past up to and including known mental illness.

This case includes none of the above, so far--at least what is available to the public. Obviously there's something wrong---and perhaps a motive---but what was wrong and what motive?

I'm not glorifying him. He's despicable. I'm only pointing out facts----

He's objectively handsome, young, with his whole life ahead of him a long with no known mental illness, no prior troubles, and no obvious motive.

So far, until we LEARN more.. the facts to this circumstance are outliers.

Have you read the piece of shits blog?

https://definingmystance.blogspot.com

Fuck him and may he burn in hell if there is such a place


I've read a few bits and pieces. Apparently it was a requirement of a low level community college course he was taking when he was 16, maybe 17 years old. I don't agree with his very first piece (about gay marriage)--- which was the only piece I read in its entirety.

Flawed arguments, but decent sentence structure and relatively coherent thoughts. I'd consider it B work for the age and level of college course.
