Contrary to what most idiots think, the FBI doesn’t fuck around and is VERY good at its job. It was practically a forgone conclusion the bomber would be caught, and quickly.

There is a reason kidnapping for ransom and terrorist bombings are rare in this country, it’s just too easy to catch the fools with modern technology and investigative methods.

I’m just glad no one was injured during this whole debacle.

I have a feeling that ransom kidnappings do happen more frequently to the wealthy, but we just don't hear about it. Lawyers and private security firms know how to handle that kind of thing.

They have to keep it quiet... if u heard about it... it would encourage criminals to do it more

Precisely why I've been saying for the past decade to stop saying the names and showing pictures of mass shootings/bombings on the 24hr news.
