The suspect in the California fertility clinic bombing was not a 'terrorist' or 'anti-life', but instead was 'anti-test tube baby', his father has claimed.
Guy Edward Bartkus, 25, detonated a car bomb that rocked the American Reproductive Centers building in Palm Springs, east of Los Angeles.
Authorities said Bartkus, who died in the explosion, left behind nihilistic writings that indicated views against procreation, an idea known as anti-natalism.
But his father Richard Bartkus has challenged that description, suggesting his son is not a killer or terrorist, but should instead be called a 'suicide bomber.'
'A terrorist is out to kill people, destroy life. He wasn't there to destroy life,' he told FOX 11. 'He was there against test tube baby. He was not anti-life, he was anti test tube baby.'
Richard said his son, whom he described as a 'bright kid' and 'computer', believed that 'people who had test tube babies they would never really love the child as their own'.
He also claimed that he does not believe Bartkus acted alone in the plot, although authorities have not released any information confirming that theory.
Saturday's explosion gutted the clinic and shattered the windows of nearby buildings along a palm tree-lined street.
Passersby described a loud boom, with people screaming in terror and glass strewn along sidewalks of the upscale desert city.
Bartkus' body was found near a charred vehicle.
Authorities are working to learn more about Bartkus' motives. They haven't said if he intended to kill himself in the attack or why he chose the specific facility.
His writings communicated 'nihilistic ideations' that were still being examined to determine his state of mind, said US Attorney Bill Essayli, the top federal prosecutor in the area. In general, nihilism suggests that life is meaningless.

Dr. Grant: "No. This is how you play God,"
Whatever.
Did this ‘tard vote for Kammy?
Another "On the radar" situation?
I honestly don’t think this tard would have found his way out of the birth canal had he not been pushed out by contractions.
Incorrect.
I listened to this guy’s manifesto the other day. I cannot begin to explain what he was worked up about. He just wanted to die.
He was a whack job. 100%.
Where did you find it? post it here will ya?
No the kid was against life, as I heard it - he said nobody consented to being born so they shouldn’t be forced into it. There was no test tube qualification unless what I heard was a hoax?
Most likely.
There ya go. No evidence that he intended to suicide himself and his own father seeking to frame the narrative.
He was a dumbass who Darwin'd himself. Thankfully, ONLY himself.
What a freaking dimwit!
No wonder the kid was deranged...
A suicide bomber is a type of terrorist.
And unless a suicide bomber takes care to avoid killing others, he is also a killer.
So, imho, dad is totally wrong.
A distinction without a difference.
Next.
