The rest of your post is a bizarre rant of some sort that makes no sense, and somehow trying to connect it to the bombings of which we have no information regarding the motive.
Austin is a city of 800,000 people, 68% are white, 8% black and 35% Latino (can be of any race). Statistical probability of a random targeting would be that whites would be the primary victim of any truly "random" attack, while blacks would be the least likely victims, other than Asians. Hence, the fact that the initial victims were black represents an improbability to be a random attack. In other words, that would imply some sort of targeting of black people or black organizations. You are correct, however, in that law enforcement has not SAID this, but they don't need to.

The remaining of my post was simply to point out how there is a segment of society that is trying to minimize the existence of racism and racist, in order to play up black inferiority.

I just hope he was working alone and there aren't other package bombs out there waiting to go off.

They scrubbed his facebook history, as expected. But people will remember him and will do the job the MSM won't do, get some of the facts out for the people to know. Then it will be called trolling and fake news but we'll still know the truth.

Stupid jerk. I hate people who do this crap. What's with the MSM mentioning he was white every other paragraph? You think once would be enough.

"The suspected Austin serial bomber who apparently killed himself early Wednesday as authorities closed in on him was Pflugerville resident Mark A. Conditt, local and federal law enforcement sources told the American-Statesman and KVUE.

As the sun rose, neighbors of the 23-year-old, who was home-schooled growing up and went to Austin Community College, struggled to wrap their minds around the news that authorities were linking him to the bombings."

I wonder if there will ever be any indication of motive.

So sad for the victims.
I'm not sure if this statement was really necessary.

He was a good kid!

As some witnesses will probably claim.

Home schooled? I wonder why. Maybe a trouble maker or he was bullied. Or his parents didn’t like public school education

apparently that fact cannot be emphasized enough

btw, this guy bombing himself to death has already been under discussion for hours on the main Austin bomber thread.

I say bullied in public school. Seems to be a common denominator.
