This kid was definitely motivated with all the bomb making supplies. Don't think he planned on being blown up with all those supplies still in his apartment.
I have yet to read about his explosives ...but obviously blowing stuff up is in the news these days...If he is an imitator of Muslims and hates something I guess he might be the lone nut ...but its pretty clear where he was getting his ideas from
Great insight! Why make a big batch and only use a little bit?
Sure seems like he intended to be around a while--either that, or the report of explosives isn't accurate.
EOD disposal could be loud just from the charges used to dispose of the suspect materials if someone wanted to make it look like there was a lot recovered.
