Lots of unanswered questions still...
Yeah I’m sure he has evolved (!)

What likely happened was that he failed at community college because his home school “education” was a terrible basis. Then he saw black and brown peers do well and developed his hatred against minorities and decided to kill.

All blood is red. Whats the matter with you people?
He blew up every race except Asians.

The mayor of Pflugerville lives 2 blocks from his house. The mayor says it is a run down house and has had a lot of human traffic in and out.

That’s a pretty wild speculation. All we have is a six year old blog to go on. We don’t know his motives.

Sure the parkland shooter’s brother is making news. Apparently Florida want to “grab his guns” He has entered the school campus at least 3 times since his brother’s mass shooting.

Anyway new picture of the bomber on the news. He is smiling in the picture.

People do not reason like these when the issue is crime, out of wedlock births, welfare. People don't bother to try to reason that such happens among all races and ask "what is wrong with you people" for focusing on race when the focus makes blacks look bad.

Seriously? On of the bombs was a tripwire in public. That doesn’t sound like a targeted bomb to me.

Another day another white terrorist threatening the lives of innocent people. Now watch how the others go on the mad scramble and call him a liberal and do the same they always do to deflect blame. But we all know who the real domestic terrorists are.

This is going to continue to happen until one of them does something so massive and atrocious that we can't bury our heads in the sand anymore. It's coming.

Someone up-thread suggested that it wasn't "necessary" for me to have noted that he was "yet another white male murderer with an innocuous background" as if this isn't currently the most disaffected segment of our population.

It is not placing blame to note this but rather simply pointing out a reality that many simply do not want to acknowledge.

Yeah all we can hope is that it doesn’t happen in our city.

I wonder how a 24 year old could build those deadly bombs? From what I have read it’s not that easy. Maybe we are missing some information. How did he acquired the materials? Who did he live with? Where did he test his bombs while learning to build them?

Yea, then setting up a tripwire in Brickell, to add to the example, which is how the two white guys got hit.
