Terrorism is message and motive-specific. Until we know his motive and message, we cannot conclude terrorism.

Dumb comment. It sounds right because it is right. He made no ideological statement during the attacks.

Also see posts #121 and #214 on this thread.

Turner Broadcasting (this time on HLN rather than CNN) has changed the descriptions re the plotted map of victim locations in the Austin metro. They are now (in line with what Fox did, but different from what they/Turner initially did) not including the race or ethnicity of the victims in the descriptions.

He was 23 and in lived in progressive Austin. Odds are he was more likely was a broken Hillary Socialist who finally reached his melting point.

Actually, he lived in Pflugerville, which is about as "progressive" as your typical HOA board.

What did I say, so utterly predictable. He was a good kid from a good family and they had no idea.

Wait a few more days and we'll see more about this narcissist and his social media rantings.

The family of suspected Austin bomber Mark Anthony Conditt said they were stunned and “broken” that he was behind the deadly bombings in Austin over the last month.

"We are devastated and broken at the news that our family member could be involved in such an awful way," the family said in a statement.

It continued, "We had no idea of the darkness that Mark must have been in. Our family is a normal family in every way

Also, how did he learn to make the bombs? Youtube, using VPN to hide where he was? How did he plan to plant bombs without much/if any electronic detection from CCTV's etc etc.
Based on his job in shipping, buying and receiving at a electronics store, I think he had an idea on some electronics designs etc for bomb making.
The planning he did was very good or very lucky..
The FEDEX footage and bad costume seems like he just wanted to get caught. Just my opinion..
And was he the person on reddit that was claiming to be the bomber.
I guess time will tell as I am sure the FBI will get it right. Hope they never interviewed this man.

I would suspect it cost very little money to make these bombs. probably a few hundred $$.
