RE: Austin mail bombs kill 2 - likely serial killer involved
I get the sense the guy wants to get caught. I caught an interview with someone on MSNBC and he liked this serial bomber not to the Unabomber but instead the DC highway sniper (whose victims were more random but who had a rapid pace of incidents). He also thinks the fact that both the DC area and now Austin are so on edge that this bombers' days are numbered.

Agreed. Any rat who didn't want to get caught would slink away and let things cool off a while before repeating the process. This guy sounds like he's in a frenzy.

Was the DC highway sniper in reference to the two guys shooting people through a hole in the truck of their car with the back seat removed, or another wingnut?

I fail to see how they could possibly make that call this early.

Texas AG Ken Paxton now saying this is wrong, and that authorities believe that it's the same bomber.

Sounds like a pipe bomb from a story I just read on Drudge.

Someone on reddit claiming to be the bomber. I doubt it's authentic, some 13-year old sh*tposter is about to get a visit from the FBI.

Nah, they think they are smarter than law enforcement and are going to win the "game".

Says he mailed one of the bombs to a very prolific radio talk show host that lives in Austin.

When asked if it was Alex Jones, he said "possibly :)"

Most bomb makers have a specific way they design their bombs, or a "signature". When something potentially could kill you it makes you tend to replicate it exactly like you've done before so it doesn't. Even the slightest deviation could result in premature detonation.

Serial or hired gun arsonists tend to be the same way.

Understood.

Did you see the Johnny Joey Jones interview earlier on Tucker? He said that one of the bombs (can't remember which one) showed a certain level of sophistication. Perhaps if that is the case, this guy has the training/expertise to confidently build different types of bombs?

IIRC, the unabomber's weapons morped over time, more sophistication, more power.

It's possible, but I'm going to bet when all is said and done what information is released is going to point towards all of the bombs being almost identical even with the one bomb being a trip wire instead of in a package. You can use the same principals to detonate both. I also bet that the one that went off at FedEx was defective.

And honestly in this day and age the sophistication of the bomb doesn't count for much when you have an entire world of information at your fingertips.

Yes those two. They killed 10 people in a 3-week period in 2002 mostly in the DC area (but also they shot people in Virginia and Maryland). Compare that pace to the Unabomber, who killed 3 (and injured 23 others over a 17-year period).

The DC Sniper's victims were pretty much random too. Which also seems to be the case of this person in Austin (although I would like to hear where the two packages they found at the Fed Ex facilities were intended to be delivered to). The latest site is really odd (a Goodwill drop off area?). There is no political message in that other than it's a location where employees are going to be feeling safe opening boxes. I do get the sense this bomber is rather intelligent, and he just wants to injure or kill as many people as he can in a short time before he eventually gets caught.

RE: Austin mail bombs kill 2 - likely serial killer involved
I'm going to sit this one out moving forward and stand on my original posits at the beginning of the thread....

this guy is no dipshite.....he's toying with 'em right now and figuring out best method before he chooses another locale....

whoever this guy is, he's going to be hard to catch.....especially when he's not tossing them info in any form other than changing methodology in distribution.....

lmao at the msm and their bs 'terrorist' 'racist' 'blah blah blah' standard horseshite....

those dipshites don't have a clue what they're fk'n talking about....

this is the guy you should be afraid of.....he's planned this for some time now.....

Stated the last one was an artillery simulator. Good gravy. Why would you put that in a box or bag and drop it off? Couldn't you walk it inside or hand it to the guys at the drop off bay in the back?

go back and read through my posits at the beginning of this thread.....

it's another one of those times I wish I would not have been right.....

this one is just getting started.....

at this point, the only thing I'm seeing from afar is he's getting antsy.....that's a good thing from the John Q,. side of the equation.....

you'll really need to start worrying if he stops for a period of time.....

whoever this cat is has a bigger move in mind down the road.....

this is textbook high I.Q. lunacy.....

if I'm the FBI, I'm looking at all former military in the area......

Former? They have Camp Mabry (reserves) about 10 miles N of where these last 3 incidents occurred, actually right in Austin, and Ft Hood is just up the interstate. Less than an hours drive.

regardless, I'm looking at someone with a military background....

IMO, it seems unlikely it would be an active member......

however, you're right.....I wouldn't rule that out as an option.....I simply wouldn't start there....

the fact that the perp has not left any type of message 'speaks volumes'......

Surprised that no one has called this a false flag in order to explain the level of sophistication.
