COME ON.
They always make these outrageous claims, then slink back under their rocks when proven wrong (every time).

Kaczynski didn't release his manifesto until the year of his last bombing.

Was he not a terrorist?

Just because the message isn't public doesn't mean there isn't an ideological statement being made by the act.

No, he lived in Pflugerville.

He was an outsider in some community.

If Austin is a liberal bastion, common sense says he was anti-liberal.

Roflmao.

It’s like a script with you guys. Didn’t you say the same thing when one of the tiki torch nazis ran over Heather Heyer?

And if he had been an "introverted Muslim who had been home-schooled," his actions would already be assumed to be an act of terrorism, and right-wing boards like this one would be full of rage posts demanding we bomb some nation that contains similar people "back to the stone age." Oh, and ban all Muslims, too, just for good measure.

But, of course, since he was a right-wing "Christian" terrorist, we'll hear none of this. No calls for bombing the town or state he came from, no demands to keep his religion out of our nation or government. Nope, nothing at all - just another "lone wolf" because he's "one of us, not them." Disgusting.

The bolded part isn't too popular with Trumpers looking to blame this right-wing terrorism on "liberals" - lunacy! No, this was right-wing terrorism, but we'll never hear it called that in the media.

Right-wing "Christian" murders people with bombs (or runs them over with a car, like last year), and they are a lone wolf and we should continue to encourage their bad behavior and theocratic desires.

Right-wing "Muslim" murders people, and he and everyone who looks like him is a "terrorist" and we need to bomb them all - or at least somebody! - and ban everyone like him.

Disgusting!

Epic fail:

Who was Austin bomb suspect Mark Anthony Conditt? 2012 blog reveals views
Quote:
Investigators piecing together a portrait of the suspected Austin, Texas, serial bomber — who brought a manhunt to an end early Wednesday after he blew himself up — may find some clues in a 2012 blog.

In a series of posts, author Mark Conditt wrote that he was "not that politically inclined."

"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," it continued.

I seem to keep reading that they had the history of his google searches for targets, as well as, his last two packages had intended addresses? Why are they not elaborating more on those findings.....or have I missed something?

You don’t need a large sample size to calculate the probability of the victim being black although you need it to prove without a doubt that their was no racial bias. You don’t need a large sample size to estimate the chance that the victims being black is extraordinary rare.

Also their was a rumor that the Hispanic victim was accidental and he got the wrong address, and that package was supposed to go to a black family also but those are just rumors.

So they said it isn’t a hate crime because if the two first victims are black and their is a Hispanic victim and the other is white, they can’t claim it is a hate crime with different races of the victim unless it was based on all his victims being straight people.
You have no idea the chances because you do not know the variables he used to select the targets. Using the numbers we have now, the standard deviation is about 2, but the short fall is only one, which means the sample size (being under 30) is not enough to mathematically establish if the victims were targeted due to demographics.

Until more information comes to prove otherwise of course. They can still make a claim of a hate crime against despite the demographics of the victims, if they find evidence of such intent.
