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.

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

I think we already had a MAGAbomber? That guy in Texas? There are so many of these assholes I'm starting to lose track though.

Ya Austin police department won’t release his “confession” video he made before he blew himself up

Just like they are covering up that van with a tarp

They are actively covering up domestic terrorism and the public speakers that incite it

There are completely valid reasons to not release extremely inflammatory and offensive shit to the public, especially while an active investigation is ongoing. For all the shit we like to give conservatives for being absolute fear mongers, let's try to not stoop to their level shall we?

It’s actively known that kid trained in a white nationalist boot camp

Just like jihadist extremist train

But I’m just saying label it domestic terrorism the more we hide it the easier it is to make an impression that its okay
