I figured he would end up as a suicide bomber. I just thought he would do it where he was making the bombs, accidentally. Now we just have to be careful, there could be more packages in transit.
At least we don't have to spend next 20 yrs hearing about his appeals.

Well, here we go with the agenda based MSM.
Headlines are he's a "homeschooled Christian".
They just can't help but print insignificant garbage when they think it will hurt the right wing.
Don't worry we'll be seeing photos of him wearing a MAGA hat any day now.
And then Trump will be asked to step down because one of his "followers" is a loon (of course nobody is asking Bernie to step down over the Republican baseball shooting).
Is that really what's going on? People want to know everything about criminals, regardless of if it's "significant."Quote:

The timeline has advanced. This morning before work, no name. They usually have a school shooter's name out quicker. I'm not surprised his name finally got out, especially if it makes him look like a right wing nutter.Quote:

his blog suggests this may be an accurate depiction and that he was also anti-gay.Quote:

That was 6 years ago. A lot can change with a person in 6 years.
do you really think a person's political beliefs will change that much in 6 years?Quote:

Not impossible at all. Nothing wrong with changing how you feel about things, especially when you're just a normal person and not a politician.
Yes, because mine did.Quote:

People change even more than that in shorter periods of time.
Maybe we'll get to hear the 25 minute confession at some point. That would be a lot more significant than a random, class required blog post from 6 years ago.
I'd put money on him being gay and hating himself for it. Hid it from his conservative family.
First two victims appear to have quite possibly been of the gay persuasion.
Just my bet.
I think the whole "hates gays so must be secretly gay" trope is more wishful thinking on the part of people who promote gay rights, used as a rhetorical bludgeon, than it is a real thing.Quote:

Or maybe even full blown schizophrenia.
Like most people that murder randomly, its just nutters, not some sort of terrorism.
Hillary's did. She supposedly entered college as an establishment Republican and definitely left it as a Saul Alinsky Leftist.Quote:

The two must necessarily be conjoined, lest a person fight against themselves and truth. The religious necessarily informs the political. If it's the other way around, a person has a major problem to reconcile.
I'd be willing to bet real money he was on some sort of meds to treat a mental problem.Quote:

People change their political beliefs all the time. This isn't rare or uncommon at all.Quote:

If the beliefs/motivations can be used against Conservatives, they will be released.

Social media is part of media.
Guy could have been 100% mental. Being mental doesn't move the needle for Libs so that's seldom a story.
+1 Skip
With the collective ADD our society has I figure the golden hour for the left/media to make hay has long passed. This episode will join the Las Vegas shooting as an anomalous footnote in the history of this decade.
I guess I just haven't been around those who have and I certainly haven't heard about it from anyone I know.Quote:

'We were into weapons and stuff. A lot of us did role-playing, and (role-playing games); we'd have foam weapons and act out a battle.'
Schultz, who described Conditt as a 'normal kid', said she couldn't recall bombs or bomb making ever being discussed at the RIOT groups. She added that other members of their group were shocked to hear Conditt was behind the deadly Austin bombings.
Survivalists against what, a bad roll in D&D? Sound like a bunch of nerds more than a "survivalist" group.
I see what you did there.Quote:

Cav and Kazoo, take it to PM, quit derail.
