Yes, I think he was crazy and didn’t have any ideological motivation - except that crazy people sometimes hate the good.

The first two people he killed were both black men who seem to have been involved in an altruistic “clean up Austin” campaign. One package (the elderly Hispanic lady) seems to have been a mistake, and as for the others that were sent through FedEx, their addressees haven’t been released, nor has the address and residents of the place with the tripwire.

The other weird thing was that he posted angry things about people being punished for too long as sex offenders. His father was a retired FBI agent, who seems to have had the same name as an FBI agent who was removed and imprisoned after his involvement in the sexual abuse of two young pre-teen girls (prior to becoming an FBI agent) was revealed. I don’t know if the two names relate to the same person, but if they do, at some point the father had served his sentence and returned to his family.

At this point the facts are unclear, but I’d say the bomber was a very angry, reclusive person (home schooled alone by his mother outside of a regular home-school network) who hated the “normal” world and hated the good because he felt he couldn’t join either one of them.

So I don’t care, if he weren’t already dead, I’d want him executed immediately, but I think looking at the motivations might be interesting.

Well there's a lot of angry people today who don't go around setting off bombs to kill people as this killer did. Again he wanted to kill people and on several occasions....which he would have continued with if not stopped.......All these side discussions of his mental state, upbringing, and the like, what he liked or hated are just distractions from his motive to kill people because that's what he decided, planned and carried out to do. What people for decades have tried to do is 'understand' the criminal mind, which has been with us since creation. Some people act on their 'thinking' others do not. This guy chose to go the way he did knowing full well what the end would mean. They always do.....
