    Of course they should be put on trial. When they die like this defense lawyers lose millions.

    It appears that he did not live near Austin as he was staying in a hotel

    So, you just ignore everything the antifa did because of that one incident. I see how you roll. BTW, why is it we never hear anything new about that incident? Is it because of the lies being told to keep the bad White people agenda going? Video proves he did not hit that woman with his car and that his car was being attacked by the crowd. He hit another car while trying to get away and that car ran into the woman.

    Nonetheless the bombings were in Austin. It will be interesting to find out who he was and what his motivations were. I suspect his profile will include the words "nut job" or words to that effect.

    *Sigh*. No, the brawls themselves do not *justify* the running down of protestors, but the inherent conflict made it inevitable that some crazy nut somewhere, would try something like that. What do you think is more responsible: Calling out all irrational actors, or just the ones you find personally reprehensible? A responsible President in my view, would call out ALL violent actors, and not just pick a side.

    On that day, America was dark. But not just for the reasons you believe. In my view, on that day President Trump shined the brightest in a turd of the greatest display of sickening moral hypocrisy the world will ever see. In other words, those with that view were like bible thumpers and not too all apologetic about it or hiding it.

    Thats very Islamic of you, but surely if we must impose an eye for an eye penalty we should at least do it after a trial.

    Your hatred of lawyers isn't a good enough reason to eschew due process.

    You mean where the bombs went off before reaching their target neighborhoods?

    It was a trip wire, how could it possibly 'reach' its target neighborhood?

    I never understand why people get upset at the media for relaying what the police tell them.

    Channe is talking about the bombs that went off in the FedEx facilities before they even got delivered.

    So is murder, and shooting people, and going to a school with a gun. That's my point on the idiocy of the activism after the FL shooting.

    The trip wire seemed to be out of character and was likely placed to throw police off the trail.

    Upset? The news source is from the UK, and obviously didn't go through any fact checking prior to running to drive hit count. If you think they deserve a pass, good for you. Getting the facts correct not a priority for you?

    For that matter, using Fedex was out of character as seemingly he hand-delivered the other packages. I theorized earlier, that I believe that these attacks are random acts of violence.(Well, random in its targets. There's always a thought process to these things.) But the very fact that he chose something completely as random as the trip wire shows that he didn't care too much about the targets.

    Do you not understand what the words "according to reports" mean? They attribute their source responsibly but I guess you don't understand. Is it not good that they want to relay reports that the bomber is dead?

    the trip wire bomb was the only one that was truly non specific. The others were left at / sent to specific addresses.

    We may find out that the trip wire was in the vicinity of a former school.

    I do actually. I can mean virtually anything. It means that they didn't fact check adequately. It demonstrates the dynamic already noted. First to print to drive hit counts. Quite demonstrably irresponsible if you ask me.

    Yeah, see, there lies two possibilities there: One possibility is that the suspect did indeed know his targets and intended to kill them that way. But a 75 year old? Seriously? No, I'm sorry. I'm not going to blindly assume that hey 'racial targetings!'. So, the second possibility looms much larger: This deranged individual wanted to murder, and he wanted to do so without attracting any attention to himself(at least, not enough attention to be caught but enough attention to have it on the news.)

    The fact that he used Fedex meant that he was branching out, and he wanted to add an even higher body count. This level of premeditation takes racialism almost entirely out of the picture. I mean, unless his designated targets would be all Blacks in Austin. No, we were dealing with a terrorist serial killer.
