Austin bomber: ‘I wish I were sorry’
nypost.com ^ | 3/22/18 | Ruth Brown

Posted on 03/23/2018 2:45:18 AM PDT by a little elbow grease

The confessed Austin bomber described himself as a lifelong “psychopath” and threatened to blow himself up inside a crowded McDonald’s in a 28-minute statement recorded before his death, according to a new report.

“I wish I were sorry, but I am not,” Mark Conditt said in the recording, sources told the Austin Statesman.

Conditt said he feels like he’s been disturbed since childhood — but didn’t offer much else in the way of motive, acknowledging only that his three-week bombing spree caused permanent injuries to some of his victims, and left family of the two who died without their loved ones, according to the paper.

By the way, what did you mean by, "unless they might have (a) need to keep quiet"?

I took it to mean: if they were involved in the bombings.

At least he didn’t say “I wish I WAS sorry.” --------

I have a nephew about his age who has Asperbergers Syndrome. This is EXACTLY what I would expect of him if he was not properly medicated. He’s a genius but has no concept of personal relationships or personal interaction.

Interesting ....

Total sociopath...zero feelings, empathy or emotion.

Yes that's true, but "self-diagnosing" (as Theophilus mentioned in post #4) is very improbable.

It's possible they knew what he was doing, or should have known, to the extent that they might have some legal problems, or at least look very irresponsible for doing nothing to stop him.

And they might have known nothing, but it seems unusual that they've had nothing to say so far. Every news outlet in Texas would be talking to them if they were making themselves available.

I’m reading a lot of things lately written by self-diagnosed psycho / sociopaths.

It almost seems to be a badge of honor.

Use uncommon sense. No blaring headlines that he’s a whacko Christian, NRA member, or Trump supporter. That basically means he was just a disturbed guy who never got the help he needed...or a whacko leftist. I have a brother who is like that and it is sad, but there is only so much anyone can do after a certain age!

Not to worry, you’re dead.

I think that's really it. Everyone wants to be special. I am reminded of the Olympics in which being a good skier or skater is, you know, sort of good -- but if you're a homosexual or from a troubled family, or grew up in the projects -- that's gold, Baby!

If you're a black Muslim lesbian, that's pretty awesome. If you're just a normal person, then you're boring. At the very least you can tell people you're pretty much a sociopath. That gets you some kind of cred. And it's pretty much a game anyone can play.

When his name came out a few days ago, Huff Poo tried playing up that he was a homeschooled Christian “conservative” who’d opposed same-sex marriage (in 2012).

President Obama himself opposed same sex marriage in 2012. That was the year he declared that he “evolved” on the issue and no longer believed that “god is in the mix” of marriage necessitating that it be strictly between a man and a woman.

>>I wonder if this guy was on anyone’s radar as a danger like the FL school shooter was, or if he was high functioning and smart enough to have avoided that.

The police said that he wasn’t in files.

But the way he was carrying out attacks (with increasing frequency and more importantly, publicly entering a facility to mail several bombs on camera) he was trying to get caught (not so much taunting police with letters saying, “ha ha can’t get me”).

It’s like he wanted to die in a suicide by cop situation.

If a high body count or fame had been his goal, he could’ve achieved either by attacking the crowds as SXSW which he did not do.

Yes. It just may be all this "my feelings" and "I'm special" BS that all these young people are hearing and being taught. They are so self-absorbed it's sickening.

As an aside:

I ran into the movie "Citizen Cane" again on TCM early this morning, and I heard a funny quote I had heard therein before:

"OLD AGE -- the only disease for which you are not looking for a cure."

To be precise, it’s called “common sense bomb safety”
