A suspect in a wave of bombings that terrorized Austin killed himself with an explosion inside his car as authorities closed in, police in Texas said, ending a manhunt but leaving investigators scrambling to determine whether any bombs remain and if he acted alone.
The 24-year-old man detonated the bomb early Wednesday on the side of Interstate 35 in Round Rock, north of Austin, as SWAT team members approached him, police said.
Investigators believe he is responsible for the five explosions that killed two people and injured five others in Austin or south-central Texas since March 2, authorities said. They also warned a wary public not to let down their guard.
"We don't know where this suspect has spent his last 24 hours, and therefore we still need to remain vigilant to ensure that no other packages or devices have been left throughout the community," Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said.
This was a 24 year old white guy who seemed to be targeting minorities.
And yet when asked about this Sarah Huckabee Sanders refused to identify the bombings as an act of terrorism, and Trump did not bother to mention them until the bomber was dead.
I guess if the suspect is not a brown skinned or a Muslim, he does not qualify as a terrorist, nor do his attacks offer Trump the opportunity to call for a travel ban or a higher wall on the border of Mexico.AUSTIN BOMBING SUSPECT IS DEAD. Great job by law enforcement and all concerned!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 21, 2018
By the way Trump is right that the FBI did a great job on this case, and hopefully there is another investigation in which they will have equal success.
I echo your sentiments Gryphen, especially the last part!! Yesterday, fat-boy was attacking the FBI on Twitter, today, he's kissing their ass! It looks like "Stormy" weather is approaching soon!!
ReplyDeleteMark Fuckerbug probably gave him an personal update on the latest fecesbook trends... so he can get out in front of the Bullshit Mountain landslide!
DeleteZuck is a douche.
DeleteI live in Austin and the victims were all incredible, good people. This is 150% terrorism perpetrated by yet another crazy white man, and I am sick of it.
ReplyDeleteI am sick of being held hostage by cowardly crackers with tiny penises who can't handle their own fragility.
Sick.
Of.
It.
This country can either hand itself over to fear and bigotry and mendacious toxicity, or it can rise to the opportunities of the 21st century. And so far we're taking the low road.
Every single one of Trump's supporters, if they really believe in God, will face some hard truths in the afterlife. Let's just hope some of them wake up now before we're all forced to live with the hell on earth they're creating.

DeleteWe’v got your back Austin!
That was much much quicker than I expected. I was fearing something like the years long search for the Unibomber.
ReplyDeleteThis guy was much more intense and rapid. He was a unibomber on speed.
DeleteI feel sorry for the kids that want to go out and play but will wonder if there are more bombers or Conditt left trip wires or who knows what. He was a busy clever guy. Mentally sick but not a terrorist, according to USA leader.
Stormy weather or not, Drumpf got her case into federal court so the details can remain a secret.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how fast the word terrorist springs from whitey's throat when the perp(s) are off color. Drumpf world where seldom is heard the terrorist word when the terrorists just happen to be snowflakes.
Raw Story is carrying article describing the bomber's "conservative views."

He was unemployed. Did he ever have a job? Newspaper boy, mowed lawns, dish washer, anything?
DeleteHow did he pay for all the material to make his bombs? I read that he was staying in a motel in Round Rock. How long was he there? That costs money. How does he pay for all this?

For her part, Nielsen insisted that the issue was of “extreme urgency” to her department, and she said that 20 election officials had received security clearances.

ReplyDeletebtw.... President Trump meets with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia at the White House and answers questions about the Austin, TX package bombings.
Trump did mention the Austin Bomber before he blew up and was dead. Trump was careful not to say terrorist. He did stress it was a sick individual and it was terrible. Sick and terrible.

Sure he barely responded to a question from a reporter, but there is no mention on his Twitter account.
DeleteYou know the place where he addresses things of importance.
He must made a positive impression for Jared's friend the Crown Prince. May they borrow more money, better yet enjoy some gifts.
DeleteIt is sick and terrible how shallow DJT is. Mark Anthony Conditt is a domestic terrorist.

ReplyDelete"chary Cruz was charged with trespassing at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Monday–the same school where the deadly massacre occurred." "Officials said Zachary Cruz bypassed all locked doors and gates and began riding his skateboard. He told arriving officers he entered the property to “reflect on the school shooting and soak it in.”
Assistant State Attorney Saranell Murphys said Monday Zachary had contact with Nikolas while in jail and they spoke of how many girls they could attract due to the killer’s fame.
“Probably most concerning is his contact that he has had with his brother in the jail since his incarceration,” Murphys said. “He has been heard and observed discussing how popular his brother is now, that his face is everywhere and his name is national.”
“There is discussion of starting some sort of pen pal or fan club and how many girls he is capable of attracting, referring to his brother Nikolas.”

"Austin Rollins brought his father’s Glock 9-millimeter pistol to Great Mills High School, located in southern Maryland, on Tuesday morning and shot the 16-year-old girl in a hallway, gravely injuring her, St Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Delete“All indications suggest the shooting was not a random act of violence,” the police statement said. “Rollins and the female victim had a prior relationship which recently ended.”"A 14-year-old student who was shot in the leg during the incident was released from the hospital on Wednesday, a hospital spokesman said. The female victim, identified as Jaelynn Willey by her family, remains in critical condition" "An autopsy is being carried out on Rollins to determine whether he was killed by a shot fired by the officer or from a self-inflicted gunshot."

I'm sure that the neighborhoods affected by the bombings consider the bomber to have been a terrorist. That's called "domestic terrorism" and it's been responsible for a lot of havoc in recent years. The SPLC is about the only entity willing to call "domestic terrorists" what they are, "terrorists."

neighborhoods... That would be Dakota Meyer and Bristol Palin. What are they saying about this terror and the terrorist?

Does the Austin bomber have a following? Look at Cruz and relations of MSDHS in Florida. They couldn't monitor or do anything about him until he killed 17 kids and injured many. He died and became a martyr for some.
Deleteoops. Not dead, a sick and terrible martyr.
DeleteDidn't trump tell the DOJ to stop investigating white supremist and miltia groups for acts of terrorism?
DeleteHow is sending bombs by fedex not terrorism? Or is donnie's problem that he doesn't want to offend his base by calling a white guy a terrorist?
Bristol is alone and an isolated dumbshit. If Sarah doesn't want her to know that she and her kids are living in the bomber's territory, she would have no clue and say nothing. Bristol is busy living Sarah's fantasy, the tea peeing lifestyle.
DeleteSarah must be in a huff for her eldest daughter and three grandchildren living in what is more like a terrorist's war zone for the last 3 weeks. Protect the low IQ one from reality.
Anyone that hates terrorists would react. Sarah Palin has a voice. She also controls Bristol's ghostwriter.
Betcha they copy their leader. If they say anything it will be... "Pray" & "Sick and terrible" nauseous, repetitive, rhetoric.
Still absolutely no empathy for the victims!
ReplyDeleteStill no acknowledgement of the domestic terrorism!
Still ass kissing, trying to placate(play) the FBI!
Trump is a criminal and traitor to America !

So he killed and maimed folks who have differing political views. Conservatives are such good 'family values' people? ... eh? The truth is, a whole lot of conservatives are frightened hypocritical ignorant feebs. In other words (a word they love to use to describe liberals) they are snowflakes. Projection as usual. They need bibles, guns, and an authority figure running the country to feel safer. Essentially, they are frightened children with a very limited ability to discern reality.
ReplyDeleteI live in Austin - a few miles from the trip wire incident. It definitely altered the way I lived. I don’t know what the bombers ideaology was, but it certainly felt like terrorism!
ReplyDeleteI have family nearby. I would like to know about hiking trails and more remote areas where a trip wire could be hidden for months. He may have set traps before he started about a month ago.
DeleteAnother angry white man? Well, folks. I say that instead of looking the other way we need to look further into the subject.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember Hollywood producing a few movies about the angry white man. One of them starred Micheal Douglas. I have to go find that movie and watch it .
I am Native American and always thought that white people had the best of everything. There was actually a joke I saw on one of those hollywood movies where a this white guy tells this Native guy "don't piss her off" about this white daughter, and the Native guy said, "how can I tell when you white people always look pissed off?"
I think the Trump supporters are codependent personalities. I read this book by Melody Beattie where people who grow up with or marry into substance abuse tend to start acting crazier than the person with the problem.
I am just trying to figure our where this white anger comes from folks. Don't mind me.
Fairly simple. When you have received power illegitimately, you always doubt yourself (archetypal imposter syndrome.) You pretty much assume that if you lose that power, you will be unable to get it back on a fair playing field. SO the thought of losign it terrifies you, you become angry and defensive at every slight to that power (press for for espanol.) People of color and women have been makign inroads into the patriarchy for quite soem time. Let's hope this is its last desparate gasp as its short vulgarian fingers lose their hol don the cliff of herstory.

Both officers were wearing body cameras. A local ordinance requires that footage from the cameras be released to the public within 30 days, and the department says that it plans to release video and audio from the helicopter in the near future."

White, republican, homeschooled( we know where he learned his bigotry and racism), Xtian, prolife, pro death penalty, anti =gay, racist unemployed male.
ReplyDeleteWell I would first like to say, you can't swing a dead cat in the Austin area without landing a job. To be unemployed is a choice.
Secondly, his white neighbors thought he was quiet but a wonderful young man, his black neighbors found him standoffish and strange.
His learned racism and bigotry had to have been learned in the home but HIS family is asking for prayers as they deal with THEIR loss.
PARTS OF PFLUGERVILLE EVACUATED DUE TO INVESTIGATION INTO AUSTIN BOMBER, ROOMMATES QUESTIONED
DeleteFBI spokesman Christopher Combs said that more than 500 federal agents are investigating multiple scenes and that this is a massive effort that is much larger than any operation undertaken in years. He went on to say that investigators have not found any complicated devices in the home but that one room contained a considerable amount of materials.
West of Railroad Avenue and North of Pecan are being evacuated by police while agencies continue to look for more information. Pflugerville City Hall has also been closed. Railroad Avenue from Pecan to Applewood is also closed.
According to Spectrum News reporter John Salazar, officials said they have increased the evacuated perimeter surrounding Conditt's house to a four to eight block circumference after investigators found munitions inside the home.

About 15 minutes from FedEx Sunset Valley?
I don't know how close to home this bomber was. I would think he'd have something to say about where he is raising his children. This is a hell of a time for parents of Austin. Now the worst is over, he can appreciate the FBI and the local authorities.
Think we need to build a wall around Texas. But not too fast..I need to get out! mermaid
