Bomber Self-Identified as a Conservative
It's just news and I need a post -- I'm not baiting anyone. The media is going to read a lot into this while ignoring the fact that the country's death rows are stocked with Democrats.
This isn't a motive, but expect some breathless reporting from Jake Clapper. Though he identified as conservative, he also had civil libertarian leanings regarding sex-offender registries:On the blog, Conditt described himself as a conservative. He wrote that he was against gay marriage and abortion and in favor of the death penalty. He also wrote that he supported doing away with the sex offender registration system. "So you have a guy who committed a crime. Will putting him on a (sex offender) list make it better? wouldn’t this only make people shun him, keep him from getting a job, and making friends? Just for a crime that he may have committed over 15 years ago as a adolescent? On a side note, one fifth of all rapes are committed by a juvenile," Conditt wrote.Here are pictures of the dead bomber at the FedEx store, wearing gloves on a hot day (!) and an absurd daffodil-yellow clown wig to hide his brown hair. Say, didn't someone say the shots would show him in light disguise with a hat?

— C-T Watch, Inc. (@CTWatchInc) March 21, 2018
While the suspect who took his own life has been only identified thus far as a 24-year-old white man, the former ATF agent in charge had already predicted that the suspect was: -- 20 to 30 years oldI don't know about "educated." He went to community college but did not graduate. So he was high school educated with some credits in community college. I don't know if that makes him "educated;" seems "average education" would be more accurate. They probably got that from the idea that he thinks he's smarter than people. Which is something you might guess about the perp in this kind of crime, that he's playing games with the police and all. But that doesn't prove education; it proves arrogance, and maybe even more insecurity underlying that arrogance. I'd say that a more defensible profile would say that he thought of himself as educated, despite not having more than average education, a trait he shares with most liberals. The "local resident" call was obvious. The call that he was 20-30 -- not in his 20s or 30s, but 20 to 30 --is pretty darned good. I wonder why they'd guess him at that young age. One possibility is that the batteries he used in his bombs were "exotic." Maybe they're batteries people use in some kind of tech associated with younger people. Maybe they batteries are only advertised in, say, video gamer magazines, which would mostly skew younger.
-- Educated
-- Mostly likely a local resident

People can define themselves any way they want.
Paul Ryan calls himself a Conservative, and he's anything but.
But we know the Donks, MSM and the usual GOP cucks are right now jizzing themselves over this "revelation."

It is evident that the idiot asshole had no idea what a conservative is. But neither did Conditt have any knowledge of reality.

The other thing that gets me is all this talk about expert bomb making and sophistication. 30 seconds on google and you can find plans for this stuff. It's not rocket science.

need more evidence on whether he was really "conservative". At 24 few know much, and if they do they do not turn into bombers. Only the left has pushed the antifa violence.
A counter-reaction from a "conservative? well maybe ... pretty dumb, obviously. But we need a broader profile. A good liberal willing to sacrifice for the left would pretend to be conservative I suppose. Let's see what his friends say, if he had any.

Thing is, there is no consistent conservative philosophy, other than adhering to traditional values and norms. Take tariffs. Our founders thought they were a useful tool, both to fund our government as well as to protect domestic industries. Many people who call themselves conservatives today claim that protectionism is not conservative.
It all depends on which values you are focusing on (and during which period of time) when you look to tradition.
But, very few people would consider blowing up random, non-combative, fellow citizens with package bombs to be a traditional value.

Actually, the conservative reaction to a "conservative" terrorist is the same as the conservative reaction to a leftist terrorist: death is too good for him.

Well, by definition if you are murdering people you are not a conservative. I think thrill bomber is the motive, but we may never know. Doesn't really matter, he's dead, we are better off.

I never understood the deduction that how a person votes equals motive.
Some people are just nuts. and happen to vote one way or another.
I get it if someone is, say, pro abortion and starts blowing up churches because they are virulently pro abortion. I could further understand how one might say- well that's a sacred cow of Democrats, so - yeah.
But that someone took action is circumstantial to each case. You would have to conclude they are nuts to begin with, perhaps someone or something they associated with stepped on that "nut" button, and they sprang into action.

The reason you aren't hearing anything about the "investigation" is that it does not fit the narrative, LE new all about the guy and did nothing or he was a CIA/FBI/DEEP STATE asset that went rogue.
We have guy who did very traceable things and perpetrated an act in probably one of the most video taped environments on the planet, a LAS Vegas Casino.
There are more CCTV Cameras per square foot there than down town London's Ring of Steel.
So they have it all and know what's what but it's inconveneient so don't expect a report any time soon.

need more evidence on whether he was really "conservative". At 24 few know much, and if they do they do not turn into bombers. Only the left has pushed the antifa violence.
A counter-reaction from a "conservative? well maybe ... pretty dumb, obviously. But we need a broader profile. A good liberal willing to sacrifice for the left would pretend to be conservative I suppose. Let's see what his friends say, if he had any.

in terms of civil rights, I actually agree with his views about the sex offender registry - BUT - I have also decided that saying anything along those lines elicits so much scorn, and so many raised eyebrows from anyone you say it to, that it's better for me just to self censor and never say anything about it at all (except for this instance) since I certainly do not have any personal stake in that fight.
And I do think it is regrettable that now there are so many issues and topics where intelligent people know that the best thing is just to keep quiet and never engage in any discussion on them, because the penalty for espousing a non-mainstream attitude is so high. America really did not used to be like that, but it is now.

It does not surprise me that the bomber said he was conservative not because oh noes conservatives are horrible, well, I mean, I'm horrible but for many reasons apart from my politics, but due to sheer random chance.
At some point one of these nutters would be on "my" team.
We still don't know why he went all 'splodey but if he did so for some supposedly conservative reasons, well, we're just going to have to take the battering.
This is not me being a better person because, hahahaha, no. This is me reserving the right to go after the Left the next time someone who claims he is a progressive does something awful.

A few things:
1. Notice how the media waited to report the name of the killer compared to past shady mass shootings. They played by the Columbine rules.
B. His Facebook was completely scrubbed excerpt for 15 friends. White kid who was raised Mormon and homeschooled who feel into nihilism and became angry with the society that blames white men and boys for everything.
III. He flipped and went full Joker and just wanted to see the world burn.
d. I would not discount another bomber. This kid seems to be the submissive one. Somebody around his age or slightly older was teaching him this shit. It's my guess.
Conclusion: I'm surprised we have not seen more of this and I wonder if this is just the beginning. The war on men and boys (white and Christian) is very real and there will be blowback.

Many of these 'conservatives' are the same internationalist, open-border types who support illegal immigration, free trade, and agreements that allow them access to slave-wage workforces and no environmental restrictions. Largely they favor what's good for Big Business at any cost to anyone else.

You can't really bring a liberal to sanity by saying "don't use guilt by association against us, because we could make the same argument against you". This is because they all support their most evil followers. This is why they have sanctuary cities and want to abolish the death penalty.

As an aside on the education/intelligence issue.
Have been reading some IQ stuff recently for work.
Interesting to find that people tend to group themselves socially by IQ. You tend to make friends with people who get your humor and share your experiences. Some life experiences are fairly universal (kid issues/death) and span he gaps. Other experiences - getting junior into an ivy league school are separators.
Also, the clear majority of people in this country are not as smart as the people who post here. (Even that banana idiot was probably smarter than average)
When you are above average intelligence it is difficult to grasp how difficult life is for someone who is on the low end of even average intelligence. They are literally falling behind the curve and have to work very hard to keep up with those on the front of the curve.
IQ privilege. Until you factor in the depression/suicide/addiction rates, I'm guessing.
Interesting to me, anyway.

As a civil rights issue, it's low on most people's priorities, but yeah, the sex offender registry is a lousy way for a so-called free society to operate.

Basically they thought he was an uneducated, airline mechanic who was disgruntled. Turns out the Unabomber was a Harvard educated Mathematics genius who had some crazy, left-wing beliefs against capitalism and industry.

Thanks to MP4 for mentioning Ravel's "Pavane for a Dead Princess". The instrumentality of the orchestral version reminds me of the New World Symphony: lovely and evocative of longing. But the melody translates well to a solo instrument like classical guitar.
Add the Vaughn Williams "Lark Ascending" and "Fantasia on a Theme by Tallis" for beautiful listening. Beats the hell out of today's news reports.

The guy also did not graduate from community college.
So, if you're a cop, and you're told he's "educated," what do you do if you come across a community college dropout as a minor possible lead?
You might say "doesn't fit the profile" and move on.

One would like to intellectually deduce that if his political beliefs were a motivating factor, he would specifically go after groups who were his political detractors.
For example- against gay marriage, find homosexuals to attack.
There is zero evidence he did that. In fact, law enforcement has said the evidence currently point to this as being a random "phonebook" attack.
But yeah, he's conservative or something.

"Those two don't necessarily go hand in hand. My support for the death penalty has become less entrenched over time because of repeated incidents of police, prosecutor, and judicial corruption, and I do have a problem with the over-inclusive nature of the sex offender registry."
I found I used to have much more hardline views when I was younger, and I've become much more of a civil libertarian over the years as I've become more involved with the legal system, and I've known and talked to people personally who have been targeted by a vindictive prosecutor. I've seen people who've been pressed into pleading guilty when even the prosecutor knew they were innocent, just so the prosecutor could notch another conviction on his resume.
(why would someone plead to a crime they didn't do? "Hey, sign here, the sentence is probated and it will all be over today, or else its 2 more years of you getting dragged into court and . maybe you do hard time after that. And that registry is no big deal, don't sweat it.")

Those two don't necessarily go hand in hand. My support for the death penalty has become less entrenched over time because of repeated incidents of police, prosecutor, and judicial corruption, and I do have a problem with the over-inclusive nature of the sex offender registry.

Agreed. There are people on that list for nothing more than getting drunk and taking a leak in a (semi) public location.
Plus, there's the ex post facto nature of some of those lists that violates our constitution.

Lots of blackpilled conservative young men out there. I'm not justifying the blowback, but to pretend there would be none after Christian White men and boys are shitted on 24/7/365 by a society that clearly hates them and blames them for everything is delusional.

yeah, how long can you balkanize a country before the new generation no longer abides by the old rules.
I mean, a lot of cons talk tough but the older generations got bulldozed every time by the left to the point now where our kids are strangers in our own country and our values are completely shit upon...
so who knows. all I can say is that not all conservatives are like that...which up until now was good enough for liberals flooding the West with pervy muslims

I found I used to have much more hardline views when I was younger, and I've become much more of a civil libertarian over the years as I've become more involved with the legal system, and I've known and talked to people personally who have been targeted by a vindictive prosecutor. I've seen people who've been pressed into pleading guilty when even the prosecutor knew they were innocent, just so the prosecutor could notch another conviction on his resume.
(why would someone plead to a crime they didn't do? "Hey, sign here, the sentence is probated and it will all be over today, or else its 2 more years of you getting dragged into court and . maybe you do hard time after that. And that registry is no big deal, don't sweat it.")

Yep. I don't think that supporting the concept of the rule of law necessitates having blind faith in the system.

Free-trade and open borders have nothing to do with each other. Most people who advocate both either are beneficiaries of both policies or are anarchist/libertarian who believe the federal gov shouldn't regulate those things.
Gains from trade is a large economic benefit that has been well understood for over 200 years.
Open borders leads to wage equalization between populations. This has clear downsides when dealing with dissimilar countries.

In that case there was barely any evidence from which they could start an investigation.

And even if I did, I refuse to align myself with someone who is mailing bombs. Regardless of whatever else we might agree on, I don't agree with them on that. So I'm not going to wear the label.

153 97 the former ATF agent in charge had already predicted that the suspect was:
-- 20 to 30 years old (yeah, DUH right at half of all murders in the US are committed by those aged 20 - 30, its the obvious percentage play)
-- Educated (he knew how to make a fairly sophisticated bomb, displaying some advanced technical skill, meaning he had some education)
-- Mostly likely a local resident (DUH he hand delivered the first three bombs to the houses)
The old fortune tellers trick make some extremely easy guesses and then claim how skillful you are.

There was one other Mormon bomber, happened in Colorado about two decades ago.
This guy kept finding lost early Mormon documents and making big bucks. Until it started to unravel. Two critics got bombs. And as the police were investigating he blew himself up but not lethally.
Turns out he had been forging all these documents. And bombing was the only way he could think of to stop it from coming undone.
Wonder if he's still in jail?

Home-schooling is great, but some do get too isolated imo. It makes sense to want the strong Christian upbringing AND education. But being able to confront the real world is also part of the deal.
Seems clear if this guy didn't have real issues at 18, perhaps some big events changed him as he got out on his own, maybe didn't fit in with co-workers? And the idealism of youth ... that is peak "I want to make a difference" time, and peak "not ready for major decisions" time.
Culture clash, bad outcome ... obviously the story is 'what happened in those six years'?

Every family of every psycho murderer says this. For once, I'd like to hear something like,
"Yeah, our son Bob always was a complete asshole who hated everyone. We knew he had a screw loose, so when we heard that he dynamited an orphanage and killed 43 kids, we're not surprised."

How is one FOR the death penalty and AGAINST the sex offender registry?
I'm for the death penalty but I have concerns about the legality and logic of the sex offender registry. I mean, you get drunk and whiz against a wall, a kid walks by and now you're a sex offender for life?
If someone is a permanent monster and danger to children eternally, so much so they have to go around and alert everyone to their evil, maybe they should still be in jail??

Teachable moment for the young students:
You see, no matter your laws say, there are evil people who want to kill. Even people who are your own age.
This isn't a problem created by the older generation. This is the human condition.
There will be murderers in your generation as well and those that will follow.
The point is this: If you can't stop people from killing, why would you want to take away the means to defend yourself?
Yes, that means the right to have a gun. It is not something the NRA thought up. It's something that has been necessary since the beginning of humankind.

244 In fairness to FedEx, the bomber had not sent anything by mail up until that point. And there are a lot of weird-looking folks in Austin. If you called the fuzz everytime you saw someone looking or behaving odd, the circuits would melt.

Okay, but maybe make an exception when there is an actual active bomber?
We have a friend who got some training in the profiles on these guys in law enforcement or somewhere.
One of the things they like to do is prove they have skills to build all sorts of different bombs, and this guy seemed to be doing that.
Hand delivered packages, then tripwire.
Then he mails some. You would think package carriers would know that one of the known profiles of bombers is to try to get a hat trick of all the different bomb types, so to be on alert even if the bomber hasn't mailed one yet.

The problem with the sex-registry list is all the male public urinators. Perhaps, to be more accurate, the lack of trees for which one can obscure themselves from view.

Coworker yesterday was all freaked out and kept babbling about a customer.
The customer wanted a fishing license and produced something with a photo state issued. It read SEX OFFENDER on the card.
Told him it had happened to me and asked what he did, he said he told the customer it wasn't valid.
Some of these sickos have no shame. Trying to use a card that says SEX OFFENDER to get a fishing license as if its not bloody weird.

It's sort of scary to think what an organized, foreign power could do if they really wanted to derail the United States.
Can you imagine hundreds of packages going out like this? It really wouldn't be hard to have a cell here doing something like that and completely shut down commerce.

From google: "Best 18650 Battery. Up to 20A LG HG2 18650 3000mAh 20A $9.95 LG is a trusted brand and with the LG HG2 the brand has managed to maximize both amperage and capacity."

Contrast that with the reality of the political pressure to reduce sentences and parole even violent felons early because that's how "enlightened" Europe does things.
The left isn't keen on discussing recidivisum rates in general, but I think even they understand that there are people that warrant additional caution after release.
I agree that being overly broad in classification is a bad thing though.

The concepts of a virtuous people, love of family, embrace of liberty, and a government limited to specific and critical tasks -- and no more.

The left isn't keen on discussing recidivisum rates in general, but I think even they understand that there are people that warrant additional caution after release.
To the extent that this is true, why just sex offenders, then? Why not a murder registry, a theft registry? An arson registry? Have a card, go to the neighbors "I just moved into your area and I'm a burglar, I am required by law to let you know..."

366 The age 20-30 was profiled because the profiler knew that people in that age group believed the system and society was broken.

You don't have to go that far. Ages 15-30 are the sweet spot of the Wonder Years for crime. Bomb building would move up the lower end a bit, so 20-30 was probably the safest bet on the planet.

i guess i'm as confused about what a conservative is anyway.
i always tied it to self sufficiency, not asking others to pay for my stuff, unless i 'work it'. and sanctity to an individual life, (small or large) while being able to defend myself legally.
oh and a weaker/less invasive govt. actual Free speech. and hmm.
Posted by: willow at March 21, 2018 01:37 PM (/ikqi)
========
There's a certain type of morality ("the end justifies the means", "the greatest good for the greatest number of people") called consequentialism. I think that is the rot that is the source of liberalism. If you *think* some action has good consequences in the long term, that justifies you doing things that would otherwise be immoral. Oppressing people, stealing from them, killing them (Stalin killing kulaks to implement his 5 year plans), regulating them to death, circumventing existing laws like the Obama administration because it would take too long to do things the proper way by getting legislation passed.
So my definition of conservative would be anyone who rejects consequentialism, because then you are left with traditional moral rules that cannot be overridden merely because you *think* your stupid theory will create utopia.

I think that someone who is a thief is no more "forever that way mentally bent" than someone who is a child molester. Someone who kills people without remorse is messed up for life and has mental issues at least as much as a rapist. I think you can get an arsonist to stop burning things through therapy but they forever have to fight the urges and are wisest to avoid certain things that might tempt them.
The idea that sex crimes are a specific and unique category that requires special and different legal treatment is questionable, at best.
I don't understand why rape isn't a capital crime. If you really do commit a rape, you should face death just as much as a murderer. But first, castration by piranha.

Abbot vs. the local tree ordinance comes to mind. Texas Facilities Commission is doing all kinds of hand wringing because they try to place nice with local land planning rules, and therefore actually seek City exemptions on projects, but the City is pissed at the governor right now. The state can tell the city to pound sand so I'm not really sure why TFC gives a damn, but there you have it.
And Paxton (AG) is going after the plastic bag ban, which is 10 kinds of awesome.

yes, I know bombing was his preferred method of murder. But if you're interested in bombs, you gotta have at least SOME interest in guns, I'm guessing.
I'm not saying people buy guns to kill people. But obviously guns are good for killing people, so if you're having these kinds of homicidal thoughts, why not pick up a gun?

If it's premeditated murder and the system is working, we dont allow these people to walk around at all outside of a prison cell.

seems another time they said 'exotic battery', but found these remote control toys have such batteries. But it probably helped them narrow down their searches. Nest we'll get those helicopter drones dropping little bombs on targets, and flying back to reload for another day ... so much tech out there ... need to raise better people, instead of total police state. (which would fail anyway)

Or some 14-year-old kid who gets busted for having a
nude pic of his 13-year-old girlfriend on his phone. Possession of
child pornography! You're on the sex offender registry for the rest of
your life, bucko!

I am not opposed to the sex offender registry, per se, but it should be a requirement that to get on it, one must have at least three separate convictions for sex-related offences, and thus be at high risk for re-offending.
And public urination should not be a sex offense, if the person is making at least a token effort to be discrete about it.

Austin does have legit weirdness, but I don't think it compares to places like Madison, Portland, San Francisco.
Austin's weirdness also has become a bit "corporate" and "sanitized" in recent years, at least in certain quarters/to an extent. I attribute it to the influx of wealth into the area. The wealthy may pay lipservice to weirdness, but the rich ultimately want the usual comfort and nice things that the rich always want and are not at all into smelly hippies.

think that someone who is a thief is no more "forever that way mentally bent" than someone who is a child molester.
The idea that sex crimes are a specific and unique category that requires special and different legal treatment is questionable, at best.
Sorry, but respectfully disagree. Sex is a primordial force that transcends - and therefore is impervious to -rational analysis or incentives. Someone who is sexually attracted to children, or given to perpetrating violent sexual attacks, I don't believe will EVER change, or indeed CAN ever change.
I believe that, for whatever reason, it's intrinsic to them, and they'll be that way until they go to the grave.
Other crimes, not necessarily the case.

If raping and cutting off someone's arms doesn't deserve the death penalty nothing does.

Now, chances of a Teenager being able to successfully get the components and knowledge to successfully build multiple bombs? Possible... but slim...
Thus, disaffected Male... who has the Money, and time, to do something like this...

Assuming that's true, its also true of arsonists, murders, and thieves, at least according to law enforcement officials, psychologists, and historians. A rapist has a messed up head that compels them to do evil crap, but that's also true of someone who loves to burn things to see the pretty fire.
Someone who is a burglar for a living almost always goes back to that life when they get out. Its part of who they are as well.

Those other things are still all matters of public record, people are just naturally wired to be more suspicious of someone who is a potential threat to women and children.

"I don't understand why rape isn't a capital crime. If you really do commit a rape, you should face death just as much as a murderer."
I used to wonder that same question, and by accident ran across the answer one day, and it mainly comes down to the way that sometimes the stigma from past wrong actions still affects and gets embedded in our world today. Rape WAS traditionally given the death penalty, and this continued in most southern states until the 1970's, when the Supreme Court finally tossed it out. (Coker vs Georgia, 1977)
The real problem with it is that when looking at statistics of those executed for rape in the 20th century, 95% of the time (and it was a LOT of executions) it was for the crime of a black man raping a white woman. I think in the same period, there is only one white man on record (in the entire country!) as having been executed for raping a black woman. It was generally a charge that was never applied to whites.

463 Simpler explanation for the 20-30 range...
Young Men are totally outcast, dismissed, and denigrated in modern schools... they have been cast adrift, with no Manly role Models.
Now, chances of a Teenager being able to successfully get the components and knowledge to successfully build multiple bombs? Possible... but slim...
Thus, disaffected Male... who has the Money, and time, to do something like this...
20 - 30 is most likely...

I would guess that 90% of the people on the Sex Offender Registry, are Men, who preyed on Women... and a large % of the Rest are Gay Men, who preyed on boys...
Add in that Men are expendable, and you see where this leads.

481 "I don't understand why rape isn't a capital crime. If you really do commit a rape, you should face death just as much as a murderer."
I used to wonder that same question, and by accident ran across the answer one day, and it mainly comes down to the way that sometimes the stigma from past wrong actions still affects and gets embedded in our world today. Rape WAS traditionally given the death penalty, and this continued in most southern states until the 1970's, when the Supreme Court finally tossed it out. (Coker vs Georgia, 1977)
The real problem with it is that when looking at statistics of those executed for rape in the 20th century, 95% of the time (and it was a LOT of executions) it was for the crime of a black man raping a white woman. I think in the same period, there is only one white man on record (in the entire country!) as having been executed for raping a black woman. It was generally a charge that was never applied to whites.
Posted by: Tom Servo at March 21, 2018 02:00 PM (k1TUh)
I sure as hell don't want there to be a death penalty for rape since rape keeps getting defined downward to include consensual sex, awkward flirting and unwanted advances.

There's too much inherent vagueness in rape to make it a capital crime, especially as the definition has been expanded in recent decades.
@481 makes the point that it used to be "clear" and get the death penalty when it was black on white.
I believe Mike Tyson was innocent.
Ball hog rapist Kobey Bryant was guilty of a Dirty Sanchez, but Hollywood just gave him an Oscar.

Sure, but that's like banning driving tickets because cops pull over too many women. The problem isn't with the penalty, its with the lack of justice and racism.

Burglars aren't raping children for fun. There's a qualitative difference between serial child molesters and thieves.

Not *that* much of a shock, as shocking as it is, assuming one of the "senior directors" on the staff (everybody's got the title "senior director", or so it seems) who's career had access to the Putin memo.

Coker v. Georgia really has to be read to be believed. The whole basis for overturning thd death penalty for rape is callousness to the harm it does to women - so much so that it's hard to describe it as anything other than misogyny (notwithstanding the contemporary overuse of the term). In the first paragraph of the facts, Justice White notes that the victim was raped and abducted at knifepoint and then drily observes that she "was unharmed."

AND most home school kids now have broader networks, not just Mom and Dad at home. But being good means facing culture shock in the "real world". Maybe I'm just looking to defend the Christian upbringing, and blame the "full immersion" into our screwed up world.

"Assuming that's true, its also true of arsonists, murders, and thieves, at least according to law enforcement officials, psychologists, and historians. A rapist has a messed up head that compels them to do evil crap, but that's also true of someone who loves to burn things to see the pretty fire."
The problem is that if you take that to it's logical conclusion, you get to where the British got to in the 17th and 18th centuries, which is where they just executed everyone who was convicted of a crime, no matter what it was. (including the infamous case of the 9 year old boy who was hanged for stealing a pencil) I was able to visit Edinburgh once, loved it, and in the center of one the squares there's a marker at the spot where they had their only homemade guillotine set up, and it was recorded that during the "Time of Troubles" there was at least one execution every day (sometimes several) on that spot for several years running.
That's a whole lot of executions out of a whole lot smaller population than today. It's easy to forget just how bloody a lot of our past has been.

Even just as an aid in his bombing. What if the guy was witnessed when he was planting his tripwire bomb late at night? He'd want to kill the witness, wouldn't he? Assuming the guy was close enough to see him clearly and close enough to hit with a bullet.

You pull the trigger and it is personal. FTF personal. You are at fault. But if you leave a bomb lying around it is like leaving a gun lying around, the person who picks it up is ultimately responsible for what happens. So you have absolution since you are not to blame. Not the way I think but maybe the way a nutcase bomber thinks.

Not sure, but if you're in an urban area and want to see something amazing, look at the registry for where you live.

I think in the same period, there is only one white man on record (in the entire country!) as having been executed for raping a black woman.
In fairness, statistics indicate that white on black rape is pretty rare.
http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=26368
"To see the real truth of the matter, let us take a look at the Department of Justice document Criminal Victimization in the United States, 2005. (Go to the linked document, and under "Victims and Offenders" download the pdf file for 2005.)
...
In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man."

524 I sure as hell don't want there to be a death penalty for rape since rape keeps getting defined downward to include consensual sex, awkward flirting and unwanted advances.
Again, that's a problem with bigotry and injustice, not rape or the death penalty.

But you can't keep them separated, as a practical matter. These things don't occur in a vacuum.

>> In Charlottesville? Didn't it turn out that the girl died of a heart attack or something? Not the car?
That was what her mother initially said, days after the incident.
The coronor later said it was blunt trauma.
so now saying that it was a heart attack from being overweight is considered alt-right wingnuttery

Burglars aren't raping children for fun. There's a qualitative difference between serial child molesters and thieves.
Oh I agree with that, its a worse crime without question. And we have a responsibility individually and as a society to protect children and women. That's one of our duties as men.
But women and children are in danger from arsonists and murderers and are victimized by theft as well. It just seems that if your argument is 'they never change and we need to keep an eye on them' this ought to apply more broadly -- or the infinitely dangerous monsters ought never go free (or be executed, as you say).

The problem is that if you take that to it's logical conclusion, you get to where the British got to in the 17th and 18th centuries, which is where they just executed everyone who was convicted of a crime, no matter what it was.
That's because there were no prisons then. It was execution, or nothing, until transportation to American and then Australia came along.

One possibility is that the batteries he used in his bombs were "exotic." Maybe they're batteries people use in some kind of tech associated with younger people. Maybe they batteries are only advertised in, say, video gamer magazines, which would mostly skew younger.
Lithium-Ion, I would guess. Maybe they were strange sizes. That's the only way any batteries are truly "exotic" these days since people use all sorts of batteries for everything.

why would you want anyone in government having the option to kill someone? either the incompetence, corruption, and the combination of the two should be enough to deter anyone from giving the government the authority to kill citizens.

Homeschoolers and their families are favorite targets of CPS and DFCS and other Social Services. They are finally getting sued and prosecuted the last 15 years and are backing off.
Public educators hate home school families and kids. They claim they are not smart as their students and are weird. Ironically, homeschooled kids out perform public school students socially, morally, spiritually, and educationally.

The real problem with it is that when looking at statistics of those
executed for rape in the 20th century, 95% of the time (and it was a LOT
of executions) it was for the crime of a black man raping a white
woman. I think in the same period, there is only one white man on record
(in the entire country!) as having been executed for raping a black
woman. It was generally a charge that was never applied to whites.
---
That's tragic. On that topic, there was a recent
year when around 37,000 women were raped by black guys, and potentially
no black women were raped by white men (I think this was back when hispanics were counted as whites, too):
"In
the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted
or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were
sexually assaulted or raped by a white man. "
http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=26368
It sucks that black men were being executed for doing really bad things, but sometimes the citizens and law just works out that way.

You pull the trigger and it is personal. FTF personal. You are at fault. But if you leave a bomb lying around it is like leaving a gun lying around, the person who picks it up is ultimately responsible for what happens. So you have absolution since you are not to blame.

I'm beginning to believe that Reddit AMA with the Austinbomber was actually him. Interesting to read.
He didn't get to talk much before moderators pulled the plug, but it's interesting. And it points towards one of the elements of the "Heathers" TV show that has all the liberal critics screeching: the concept of online notoriety being so important to kids under 30 now that they'll breeze right on past anything remotely associated with common sense to get it. For instance, the Tide Pods Challenge.

keeping the process out of the government's hands until the last possible minute means nothing. the point is the risk of executing someone innocent is too high relative to the value.

We do have a black man from my town who finally got his execution date set, should be in July. Black guy, Clifton Williams, broke into a house during the day, raped the 93 year old woman who lived in it, then killed her and set her body on fire while he stole $40 to go do drugs.
He was supposed to be executed in 2015 but his legal team bought him two years by making the claim that he was too mentally impaired to understand what he was doing.

I think a healthy distrust of government power is wise, but its going a bit too far to the right for me at least to presume government cannot be allowed to have any power.

then give them the power too lock people up. have you witnessed nothing in the last 20 years that would make you doubt that giving the government the power to execute people might be abused or that their rights to a fair trial to avoid execution might be abused.

Right, the risk of executing an innocent person makes the death penalty bad, but not the risk of putting them in an institution run by gangs, rife with corruption and violence, particularly sexual violence, for life?
If I'm ever wrongfully convicted of something serious, I'd beg for the needle. Beats being stored in a rape cage with animals for the next 20+ years.

560 OT - cannot confirm removal skeery gunzz! stuff from UToob. Just checked a few videos I use/plan to use on disassembly/re-assembly, AR-building, etc. - no changes I can see.
Will repeat my standing astonishment that there are not several other platforms with video material. There are many small ones, I mean big ones. In any case, I hope if UToob continues to get worse that the alternatives step in and that posters migrate their stuff.

It's been tried, most recently with Vid.me, which wound up closing up shop because they couldn't make any money. Hosting videos reliably in HD (which is what people demand) takes buku bucks. Google actually loses money on Youtube, believe it or not. Bitchute (which streams videos via torrent) might be the future, though, because the hosting is distributed.

The incidence of white men attacking black women also happens to be far lower. Blacks commit rapes ad murders far higher than their percentage of population.
This.
The reason that white men weren't being prosecuted for raping black women in numbers isn't because of some racist motive of the police or DA's. It was because it wasn't actually happening very much as compared to the other way around.

Daily Mail in London led with a subheadline identifying the Austin Bomber as a "Devout Christian". You parse the text of the underlying story and find no mention of how they came to that conclusion. Funny the Daily Mail never talks about the "spodey dope" suicide Muslim bombers as "Devout Muslims".
There's also a reference to "exotic batteries" ordered from Asia which the bomber used in his bombs. I don't know how exotic ordering a LiPo (lithium polymer) battery from China is. Several thousand model airplane hobbyists flying electric powered drones or airplanes order such batteries out of Asia everyday. But the cops apparently did the reasonable thing--look at the materials in the bombs--and try to figure out how the bomb maker got them.
Then--in a reminder that everything on the Internet can probably be tracked, they used Google to figure out who had ordered such batteries (presumably focusing on the Austin area) and that Google search helped identify the suspect.

"well, we seem to have some different thoughts on this but I think that the risk of executing an innocent person is not worth the benefit of the death penalty. "
So I can see that where there is some legitimate question as to guilt - but the problem is that there are a lot of cases where there is no question at all about innocence. Such as the case of the Ft. Hood shooter, who did his killings in front of a roomful of people and who after the fact said he was glad he killed them and would do it again? No chance of executing an innocent man there.
I would go so far as to agree that if there is any slight chance at all, and the guy maintains his innocence, then life without parole. But in these heinous crimes where there is absolutely no doubt at all (Nick Cruz, anyone) then this is no argument against the DP.

Most of the abuse occurs with juries. It's the jury system that is the weakest point.
What IS needed are serious and utterly merciless punishments for officers of the court that abuse their authority. That is really the missing piece. People like Mike Nifong need to get prison sentences as long as my arm, or even the death penalty (if they tried to put people in jeopardy of that punishment). But Nifong got off after all his abuse with pretty much nothing. ANd that Crystal Shake Whatshername, also. The prohibition to bearing false witness is one of the top ten commandments for a good reason.
So, I don't see the problem with our courts nearly as much as with our not punishing those who abuse the courts. But, the death penalty is an important punishment and certainly should stay. There are crimes that are more than savage and depraved enough - and for which there is more than enough clear evidence or even confessions - that warrant nothing less than the death penalty (and most times it shouldn't be anything near painless,either).

If you don't trust the courts, at all, then you have much bigger problems than the death penalty.
But, I'll make it simple for you, are you in favor of the death penalty for confessed murderers?
Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at March
First, you have made something of a leap to interpret my comment as not having faith in or trust for the courts. where we differ is that I think they are human institutions so necessarily fallible and corruptible. You seem to think otherwise or not to have thought at all.
So, regarding confessed murderers, in theory fine whack em. However, there are at least two problems with that. First you have to be able to ensure that they are legitimate confessions and not coerced somehow.
Second, I do not know that killing people is really a good thing. There is a big difference between shooting someone in self defense or the heat of passion and slowly deliberately executing someone.
I do not have any problem with executing someone for committing the crime that mandates that punishment. However, that assumes we know, meaning we know for certain that they are guilty.
Beyond that, there are other issues. There is lots of collateral damage that results from the execution process that is going to wind up hurting other people that did not commit the crime.

you cannot undo the death penalty. enough people get out of prison after being wrongly convicted to make the death penalty unreasonable.
anyone who is arguing for the death penalty is basically making a utilitarian argument not a rights based argument.
whoever is for the death penalty is fine with innocent people being put to death every so often.

Because, there is a valid reason for the death penalty and there are cases where there is no doubt. No doubt at all. Zero doubt. Even a smidgen.

Yes, I do accept that some innocent people will be convicted and be put to death, some will be put in prison for life and never freed, some will spend a good deal of time in prison before being freed. Unjust deaths happen; I accept it. Just like I accept it in other contexts. For example, the ready availability of guns in this country inevitably means that some people will unjustly die due to gun violence; the ready availability of cars and booze means some people will unjustly die on the roads. A lot of choices we make about how society is organized involves making peace with the death of others on utilitarian grounds.

I live in Georgia, which is still mostly laissez faire regarding Home Schoolers. But some districts and individual SJW zealots will try to do anything they can to intimidate individual families who aren't kissing the government school ring.

A lot of choices we make about how society is organized involves making peace with the death of others on utilitarian grounds.

Rape only happens to weaklings who let it happen to them sounds like something the wolves preying on the sheep would say, doesn't it?

Any info on his 2 "roommates"? Was he radicalized, maybe? The one blog post was from 2012. Lots of things have changed over the past 6 years.

His blog dates to when he was seventeen (and younger) and still under his mother's thumb in home-school high school. That's about seven years, and he may have had a personal falling out with the teachings of childhood.
If those 2012 are commonplace and typical for a Christian evangelical outlook ( his views then are fairly tame, though I do wonder a bit why he took an interest in the sex-offender registry), there is some *present* evidence of self-centered, nihilistic cruelty inflicted on the town he has known his whole life that existential crisis is in progress. Whether its the result of his idea of a bizarre Mission from God, or a rage-quit of religion and community life, he hates everybody and wanted revenge.
He's just the right age for mental illness to mushroom into full view, so maybe that's part of it.
I'll be interested to see if there is anything there but an emptiness and anger. Maybe he's was sick and no one caught it in time.

Sad of me to do this, but I'm surprised I was pretty spot on. I said white from the beginning, late teens to early 20s. Never thought it was Islam, and figured he was a loner.
Shocked how close I was since it was nothing but instinct.
Never tried to figure motive.
So yes, pathetic I'm tooting my own armchair detective Nancy Drew skills. *hangs head in shame*

how don't you know the kid is making bombs and acting strangely.

Maybe Grandma hadn't seen him lately.His parents - they might have been worried about him without suspecting mass murder. Parents of the mentally disturbed don't always realize the significance of signs they do observe - (slowly boiled frogs in some respects) and have a lot of denial and hopes the kid will snap out of it.

I wonder if he has any significant medical history.
I read he helped build the house he lives in and co-owns, with his dad. Maybe he got a nail gun to the temple or a beam dropped on his head. Maybe he did go on some third world mission and amoebas ate his brain.
Too soon to say what his major damage is.

Conditt was homeschooled in a "conservative" Mormon home.That was his worldview as a newly graduated( by his mom) at 18 years of age.
He attended community college after losing his job at a conducter prod small business.He was let go.
That's most likely were his berniebro antifa like behaviors were honed.
I believe he had a psychotic break( schizophrenia)
