    Maybe it's your poor sentence construction that's the problem, but "brown people tend to not have or want American values".

    His programming states he must call you a snowflake or cuck now for being sensitive about racism.

    They first got onto him through store receipts (guess he was dumb enough to use a bank card?)
    Then they got warrants for his IP address. Internet history showed suspicions searches.
    FedEx cameras were the smoking gun that led to the attempted arrest.

    I read that his name kept popping up in the tip lines. They were already looking through some of his records like phone locations, store receipts, Google searches, etc. This was before the FedEx surveillance, which then gave more evidence that it was him. Impressive police work.

    This terrorist has the same sentiments as some of you on here I just don't want to call you out because it looks like you're barely clinging to sanity. Whatever your problem is I hope you find peace with god.

    if he was a schezophrinec then he could be only someone else "bombs dispatcher" , it's near impossible that he can keep up with a lengthy complex task alone

    Austin Police:

    We have located a recording this suspect made, about 25 minutes, where he talks about what he has done. I would classify this as a confession. This was on a phone we found in his possession early this morning.

    On this recording, he described the 6 bombs he constructed & identified the differences among the 6 bombs.

    Everyone is interested in motive & understanding why. Listening to that recording, he does not mention anything about terrorism or hate. It is the outcry of a very challenged young man talking about challenges in his personal life that led him to this point. He described the 6 devices & we have recovered them. He also described the 7th device - the one on him.

    Really don’t care to elaborate on the shitstorm transpiring in my life currently, but I will say I know firsthand that a functioning, yet struggling person with schizophrenia can completely handle quite more than you’re indicating and successfully hide their condition on top of it.

    Which sentiments are you referencing?

    This dude was pond scum. Most of the people on this forum are decent enough.

    Wouldn't a huge red flag be a guy carrying a package into a FedEx facility wearing gloves when it's warm out? Add a hat to that and it would raise an eyebrow for me. I don't think those were winter gloves he was wearing, either. Just seems odd.

    That's interesting because my sister-in-law in Austin is hearing a different narrative from the local media. For example, analysis of the first bombs had law enforement scouring all Lowe's and Home Depots in the Austin area because some of the bomb making materials appeared to have been purchased from there. She insists that they only got the warrants after the first FedEx explosion which enabled them to backtrack the shipped package that didn't explode. What I find strange is that he was totally anonymous until he shipped those packages from FedEx where video showed him suspiciously wearing latex gloves. Oh well, I guess we'll never know the complete story. One thing is certain: with the current political climate of "Us vs.Them" you can expect these types of incidents to only get more and more prevelant.

    Can you link me to the original post so I can report it again? Jesus @RocketsLegend. I know we can ban people @Clutch, but is there a way to just confine them to a certain forum? Please? I promise not to threaten to not donate if you don't want to.
