the media is doing a fantastic job of educating the next bomber. more details are being revealed to make these news casts into a great 'how to make a bomb', 'how to avoid detection and a lessons learned showcasing the bomber's mistakes.'
the media has to show some self control!
Don't be surprised at a copycat bomber who subscribed to the media broadcasts and their educational bomb making and distribution strategy.
He didn't go to high school. He was home schooled. I know home schooled kids and they are socially awkward and behind other kids who have spent their younger years learning how to interact with others in their pier age group. The bomber went to college where his being "quiet and polite" probably just meant he was too scared or insecure to interact when confronted with people who didn't think like mommy and daddy taught him.
Then why this?:
Quote:
Students coming from a home school graduated college at a higher rate than their peers* — 66.7 percent compared to 57.5 percent — and earned higher grade point averages along the way, according to a study that compared students at one doctoral university from 2004-2009.
Just because they aren't indoctrinated the way YOU want them to be in communist public school system, doesn't mean they are worse students. On the contrary, according to studies, they perform better.
Though that doesn't have much to do with this child. I still wouldn't be surprised if he was Antifa, through and through.
The Austin bomber was raised and home schooled by a devout Christian family.
Quote:
Conditt was home-schooled before studying at Austin Community College from 2010 to 2012. Tim Lambert, president of the Texas Home School Coalition, said in a statement Wednesday that the home schooling community is also in disbelief.
Quote:
"Raised by both parents in a Christian home, Conditt reportedly walked away from his faith several years ago," he said. "Today’s revelations about the Austin bombings provide a stark reminder that we live in a fallen world. Unfortunately, no form of education, public or private, can ensure a tragedy like this will never happen."
For weeks, the 23-year-old suspected bomber terrorized the city of Austin with a string of explosions that killed two and injured several others.
But should the bomber, identified by authorities as Mark Anthony Conditt, be called a terrorist?
Quote:
Authorities avoided using the “terrorist” label, instead describing Conditt — a white man — as a troubled person motivated by frustrations in his life.
But should the bomber, identified by authorities as Mark Anthony Conditt, be called a terrorist?
yes.
BUT
not everyone can agree on what the word means. Conditt, as far as we know, wasn't trying to enact some kind of political agenda, which some people would argue is a component of terrorism. Whether mindless, pointless, agenda-less "terror" qualifies as "terrorism" is a matter of debate.
And just because police department X considers something terrorism doesn't mean police department Y and police department Z share the same definition. It isn't as though all "authorities" are a single "authority."
