Austin Bomber

Sure can.

5 years ago I'd never been to a single church service. Since then I've been baptized and even gotten so involved in church that I was elected to our board of decons.

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.

im not talking religious beliefs. I'm talking political beliefs.

I know religious beliefs can change quite easily.

It's been my experience that political beliefs are less apt to change.

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.

Based on the fact that he recorded a 26 minute "confession" video and it didn't contain any sort of politically of culturally driven "call to action" (if it did we'd have all heard about it ... especially if it was anything to the right of Noam Chomsky). My money is that he suffered from a dissociative personality disorder of some sort (no, not dissaociative identity disorder, aka "multiple personality disorder" but one of the other forms). Or maybe even full blown schizophrenia.

I'd be willing to bet real money he was on some sort of meds to treat a mental problem.

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

I'm sad people haven't figured it out yet.

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

If the belief/motivations are damaging to Libs, they will be reworked or hidden.

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.

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.

About 5 years ago, a longtime friend of mine showed up at my house in special edition Obama shoes.

He voted for Trump.

"Austin serial bomber was part of a Christian survivalist group that spoke of weapons and dangerous chemicals"

'A lot of us were very into science; we would discuss chemicals and how to mix them and which ones were dangerous,' Schultz, now 21, said.

'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.

Even though i don't have a leg to stand on.

I see what you did there.
