Well, that's from family members in Colorado, his parents haven't said anything yet. He also has relatives in Minnesota, his mom was from Minnesota, and they made similar comments. Seriously, how would they know.
Reports from police a few minutes ago said the confession on his phone didn't mention 'hate' or 'terrorism' and spoke mostly about challenges in his personal life.
He's been characterized by friends and neighbors as an "introverted Christian conservative who had been home-schooled" and came from a church attending, good family.
You know what really p-ssed me off within the last week or so? When the "media" would say "whites were victims, therefore it WASN'T a 'hate crime'" - in the process of not really even realizing what they were saying/implying was that "if whites are blown to **** by a bomb, it's not a hate crime, because you can not hate white people.
The type of stuff that really makes my blood curdle! I can't stand "media" and their duplicitous dishonesty and seething hatred of European-Americans.
Dude the first two bombs hit black victims. If it had been randomly selected in Austin, he chances of the first two victims being black is somewhere around 0.6%. Thus it is almost certainly a racially based attack. Someone was talking about the sample size not being big enough. 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.

Aww, my heart breaks for him. Almost as much as the people he murdered.
Yep, whoever's doing this is just as sick as those who use guns to shoot up people. Now what are they going to ban, boxes? Like I've said a half a million times before, it's the person who does this stuff, not the objects they utilize.
Obviously a nutjob or nutjobs out there who've changed up their game and now are killing without the use of a firearm.
If it's the person, not the device, you should be fine with banning all guns (not that I actually support that) since the device doesn't matter, and only people do, right? Surely, you can just use package bombs to "overthrow the government" or "kill robbers!' since all weapons are the same, correct?
Of course, than the righties get all enraged at that idea.
Look, you can't have it both ways. Either there is something unique about guns (such as the obvious fact that they are extremely effective at killing people quickly at range and with precision), or their isn't. You can't pretend "any weapon is the same as the other," and then demand whatever gun you want, no questions asked.
ANTIFA Anarchist....
Antifa paraphernalia at his house and his posts on Reddit to confirm. 2 roommates detained.
So an anti-abortion, anti-gay, pro-death penalty Christian homeschooled young man was a member of Antifa?
