Why not assume alien mind control chips shoved up their butts?
Or rare spider bites introduced by local voodoo priestesses working the drive throughs at Wendy's?
Or perhaps these folks are just execptionally vulnerable to backwards, upside down visual messages of nano-second duration in Sesame Street counting lessions...
I would look at the obvious connection, he was fed mind altering drugs by the Black Bloc. The OWS radical splinter group.
In summary without getting into a McVeigh theory this guy was a patsy. A big fat diversion that will keep the nation mesmerized in mind numbing shock for at least a week.
problem is as we approach the elections this may be a weekly series, stay tuned, same channel, same time kind of scenario, keeping America in a state of shock, horror and anger, especially diversion of the anger part.
It doesn't have to be our Government, although that is a possibility. Mind control is real, to some extent, from Ericksonian Hypnosis, to subliminal messages to 'buy more popcorn', to whatever is used to motivate jihadis to wear a bomb in their skivvies. It remains a question of if, how, and who, but there is little doubt that research has been done on the if and how, if for ostensibly clinical reasons. While the ability to cure someone of violent tendencies could lead to reformed criminals, and might be desirable, the abuse of that and unforseen consequences would not be far behind. (Watch A Clockwork Orange, for instance.)

Wrong end for mind control, unless they're Democrats.

Rare spiders are hard to come by.
Shrinks and Government grants are a dime a dozen.

Are those lessons, or lesions?
Maybe they should just play Judas Priest backwards at 78 RPM, and get cured. (8^D)
We live in an era where the first line of defense those in power have is the sheer outlandish and outrageous nature of their acts.
Calling those "kooks" who regard, for instance, that:
appointing people to fill posts while Congress is in Session and calling that a "recess appointment",
hiding one's past as thoroughly as possible and calling that "transparency",
and shunting funds to unknown places in the name of a "Recovery" and "Stimulus" that isn't happening,
and signing a law Congress passed which tosses habeas corpus out the window any time they want,
or even question the provenance of the one who occupies the White House,
-- all "Right-Winged (crackpot/nutter/whackjob/birther--pick one) Conspiracy Theory", while the rest of this administration reads like a bad novel of the demise of America.
Trillions of dollars gone, the rest devalued, gun running to drug cartels, and then laundering drug money (another 'sting' where no one got stung)....Who needs conspiracy theory?
Sure, the guy could be a lone nutcase. Maybe not. With this bunch in power, it doesn't hurt to look past the first layer to see what else is there.
