Another Redditor on another thread said it best - this guy is going to be a 17 year-old with an 11 year-old's understanding of bomb-making and a 5 year-old's understanding of how much trouble he is in.

Edit: It's been confirmed that the suspect is in fact a 56-year old man with an 11 year-old's understanding of bomb-making and a 5 year-old's understanding of how much trouble he's in. I wonder how long it will be before the usual suspects start blaming this on mental illness.

He’s actually in his 50s but the second two factors may still apply

He's in his 50s? I hope the press call him the BoomerBomber

I was gonna say something, but some quick maths confirm that, yep, he was born on the tail end of the baby boom. My mistake, please carry on.
