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.

Never underestimate the power of evil.

The confessed Austin bomber described himself as a lifelong “psychopath”

One that did not live in a bubble. He came in contact with scores of family members, teachers, friends and others over the years. Apparently not one of them did anything about it.

It’s been known to happen. There was a case a few years ago in which a Dr who studies sociopaths diagnosed himself to be a sociopath.

Correction: the doc diagnosed himself to be a psychopath:

“This kid’s story makes no sense”

Which could simply mean he was a developing schizophrenic.

99% of the time it develops by age 25.

“This kid’s story makes no sense”

Or could mean that he was a terrorist.

Kids these days do not value life, very few will take a life but they still don't value life. Worst generation of maladjusted lost in space misfits I've ever seen. I wonder if it's because they have their smart phones surgically attached to them and never come up for air...among other things.

“Happening quite a lot lately, isn’t it?”

Yes. I’m no CSI genius, but many things filtering in from these various events seems OFF.

They should dump the remains in a septic tank...

He must be a Lib as if he really was a conservative, they would be asking for his head.

Our local paper (or, probably news service) offered “home schooled” as the first description of this perp. I guess that’s now supposed to be as damning as “SUV” in a traffic accident story.

"...and investigators think he may have recorded previous missives on his laptop, which was destroyed when he blew himself up in his car "

Show us the destroyed laptop. I don't trust the FBI.

A 28 min tape and all we get are two talking points:

I'm a a lifelong psychopath.

I'm not sorry for what I did.

It takes about 6 seconds to speak those words.

What did he say in the remaining 27 min 54 sec?

* Release the tape *

YOU MADE MY DAY! Thanks

To prevent the next Mark Anthony Conditt, we’ve got to ban the use of the subjunctive.

Not having read The Bad Seed, I had to look up William March. I thought maybe he was a brother of Radetzky March.

He was a decorated US Marine in WWI and fought at Belleau Wood.

Good point. Sorta like those extremely heavily redacted government papers handed over to investigators, eh?

It was part of my high school readings....but that’s been a loooong time ago

I liked the book better than the movie
