I think he had bigger plans and the death toll would have been much greater had his conscience not awakened. Waaay late but I think it did. He was/is smart and had a huge and complex plan for a massive death toll, just look at the amount of ammo he purchased. His good kid side just caught up to him to late and didn't save him from the dark side. He is a sick kid that should never see the light of day again but I just can't read him as always and forever evil. He flipped a switch somewhere along the way in his college years. His youth and habits led there but he is truly, as I see it and from what we know at this point--he a good kid that just flipped the F out in the most unimaginable and horrific way. For this guy, I think the death penalty would be his easiest way out. Living with this will eat him alive.
I WANT THIS PARASITE waterboaded to find his helpers, his fam and friends knew some thing too
What I don’t understand is the large amount of ammo left in the apartment along with the IED.
If he was looking to tie up emergency services, a fire with ammo cooking off would get a lot of attention. It is baffling to me, having been in the fire service for 24 yrs, how few are aware of Hatcher’s (Notebook) tests on cooking ammo.
Hatcher concluded that 7.62 rounds cooking off would not exit the cardboard box they were in.
I have been to several fires where we had stuff cooking off and everyone freaked out. As long as it is not in the barrel, there is little to worry about.
Seems to me if he really planned to go elsewhere and continue, he would have taken all the ammo with him.
