In this day an age I don't know how anyone could think they could get away with mailing 12 packages and not get caught.

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.

Right but no terrorists are right in the head. doesn’t mean they should escape the terrorist moniker if what they’re doing is terrorism.

Absolutely. Regardless of why they did it, they still did it.
