Austin American Statesman ^ | 3/21/18 | Sean Collins Walsh Claire Osborn Tony Plohetski

PFLUGERVILLE The suspected Austin serial bomber who apparently killed himself early Wednesday as authorities closed in on him was Pflugerville resident Mark A. Conditt, local and federal law enforcement sources told the American-Statesman and KVUE.

As the sun rose, neighbors of the 23-year-old, who was home-schooled growing up and went to Austin Community College, struggled to wrap their minds around the news that he was the suspected bomber.

Is it possible he realized that as a white, Christian, heterosexual male he is being smothered by laws and policies against him and in favor of affirmative action and other protected groups?

“Some of these kids are high functioning autistics with retarded social skills who simply can’t function in a public school setting”

Nothing new. Used to be the same types back in the 40’s and 50’s. A few beatings and they got their minds right and came around ok.

He apparently also used his sister's gmail account for email christina.conditt@gmail.com

Public information sources link him to the phone number: (512) 785-5370.

Let’s say - for the sake of argument - that he was home-schooled and is Christian/Mormon (because of the reference to perhaps going on a mission). Those facts do not provide an explanation or motivation for what he did, no matter how the left may try to spin it. The guy appears to have been mentally ill, possibly with an undiagnosed disorder like bi-polar or one of the “alphabet” disorders that are so common today.

And maybe he was? We don't know much about him at this time.

Point is, there's countless posts on this forum blaming Antifa, false flags, and whatnot. I think maybe we should consider the possibility that he wasn't a lefty. The atmosphere is ripe in America today for violence from all sides.

Sometimes revolutions happen not to force change but because change isn't happening fast enough.

Which clearly explains blowing up a Goodwill. /s

Hm?....Homeschooled? When did he start homeschooling?

My guess: He was a very troubled and difficult 15 year old and school officials were more than happy to get him out of the school and declare him a “homeschooler”.

I have relatives who have and are doing that. These aren't “homeschoolers”. They are “excuses” for poor parenting and government school failure.

"I think maybe we should consider the possibility that he wasn't a lefty. The atmosphere is ripe in America today for violence from all sides."

In a way, that was kind of my point. There are indications that the guy was a Christian, but not that he was heavily involved in politics or activism of any sort.

I'm wondering if he had undiagnosed mental issues, and was triggered by some sort of mandatory pro-gay or anti-white diversity training in his workplace, objected to it, was fired, and went off the deep end.

Mark Conditt: 5 Fast Facts

4. Conditt Authored a Blog in 2012 Called ‘Defining My Stance,’ on Which He Argued Gay Marriage Should Be Illegal & Also Wrote About Abortion, Terrorism, Sex Offender Registration & the Death Penalty

Mark Anthony Conditt 2012 (17 years old)

He wrote this bio when he was 17. That would be before he went to college.

Did his political views change as a result of his college experience?

It certainly does not justify it, but it might partially explain it. By definition, a mentally ill person overreacts to situations that others are able to cope with.

I’m thinking more ‘antifa’.

Which doesn’t, of course, rule out mental illness.

Would love to know what meds he was on.

And who his besties were. And who taught him to make bombs.

And if his dad really IS an FBI agent.

I agree, it’s too pat. And frankly, the police and FBI just hven’t been that ‘on the ball’ lately.

That's certainly possible, and its not unusual for formerly devout Christians to become militant atheists after they lose their faith. Think of the son of Francis Schaeffer.

“Not all homeschooling families are conservative Republicans.”

Exactly. It might not even be the majority any more. The demographics have changed a lot since I graduated from home.
