Now they are showing his name and face on the Austin news.

aka doing their job.


I see no reason why they should show his face or name. It does a better service to everyone to reference him anonymously or by his traits (24 year old male, Austin Bomber).

Glorifying these people on the news inspires others, we've seen that already.

That's not the news's problem.


So if they are knowingly doing something that leads to more things like this, that isn't their problem? You seem kind of dumb tbh

So he's a home schooled individual living in Texas, targeting blacks and other minorities, and people on this site are painting him as a 'liberal'... right....


He wasn't targeting blacks/minorities with anything but the first 3 bombs. And he placed those in east Austin, so even randomly doing so has a likelihood of a black/minority victim. The others were west of 35 which are more affluent and typically whiter areas.


This guy could be that reddit troll who wanted the "world to burn".

A federal law enforcement source told CNN that the suspect wanted to create mayhem and death, though his exact motive was not known. The source said it did not appear that the bomber was targeting any one group, according to CNN.

The dude had a Reddit account that was named...

AustinBomber

Can't make this shit up.


That's been confirmed?


http://metro.co.uk/2018/03/21/austin-bomber-named-mark-anthony-conditt-24-7404046/

On Sunday, two men ages 22 and 23 were injured in a blast trigged by a tripwire. A worker at a FedEx distribution center was treated and released Tuesday morning after reporting ringing in her ears. A Reddit user purporting to be the Austin bomber claimed responsibility on the website. He wrote: My intention is not to kill people. I am doing this simply because I want to watch the world burn. The account, under the username austinbomber has now been suspended.


Could very well be some asshole trying to troll, but....

CNN never had this as their main story when the bomber was still at large and posing a public safety threat, but now that he's been ID'ed and they can properly spin it, this is their front page:

what 'spin' did they put on that story? the headline and bullet points seem about as objective as can be.


Admiral is full of shit. Ive seen it on the front page various times since Thursday. Basically Admiral is mad this dude is white. Fox News has it on the front page with his picture. Do they hate whites and wanna spin this too?

Slightly relevant, but east of 35 is becoming increasingly hipster in the last few years.


My last apartment about a half mile east of 35 was absolutely not hipster and more representative of what people think about east Austin, my current one is more representative of what you're saying, specifically my across the hall neighbors who can't seem to put their trash inside the god damn receptacle for pick up

That's what I'm getting at: he initially targeted a neighborhood he most likely knew had mostly minorities. Obviously once the bombings commenced he had to switch up his tactics if he wanted to evade capture, which is pretty much all the nuts that do things like this.

He switched up tactics by setting a tripwire bomb in a mostly white neighborhood that could have killed anybody. Ergo, he was not targeting minorities because they were minorities.

i honestly think it has nothing to do with fame or any of that. Some people are just under attack themselves. most people are users. They want to learn from him. Suer they do. There just is a lack of genuineness out there in general. The media sensationalizes everything. he was probably a douche himself but so are a lot of people. It ended badly.

It's just a total pussy who needed to feel strong by being a bitch and bombing unsuspecting people and probably was getting off being talked about all over the news feeling like people were afraid of him.

Even if he didn't do it with the intention of fame, and even though he's dead, fuck identifying this human garbage because other idiots see someone.get infamy from these things then some other pussy who wants to feel strong and significant in the world does something themselves to try to get the same infamy. No reason to identify then unless you're trying to catch them or something and trying to get tops, but he's already dead so forget it.


The victims deserve to know who it was, especially if there was a link or intention behind them like if the first ones really were targeted in particular.


Pretty sure the surviving victims and their families will be briefed about any relationship to the bomber.

Didn't say they had spun it yet, I said now that the suspect has been ID'ed they know how to properly do that. This will be main coverage for the next few days... far more than it was when the bombings were actually happening.

Because now is when the most information is becoming available. Coverage already picked up when the police chief announced that they believed the bombings were linked to the same person.

The same people who trash on CNN for wildly speculating and blowing lots of time talking about a missing aircraft are now complaining that they weren't mindlessly fear mongering about the bomber in Austin.

I was going to guess the bomber was either a radical Islamist or radical white supremacist. Leaning a bit toward white supremacist because Islamists usually want to commit suicide at the same time.

I'll be interested in hearing this guy's motive, especially if he wasn't actually just a violent white supremacist.

I have seen very little of anyone suggesting it was probably Islamic terrorism. Typically bombs from Islamic terrorists are made to inflict way more damage in way more crowded areas than these were and have a much more overt motive/means of delivery.

Seems more like you are exploiting a string of violence in order to shit on people the opposite side of the aisle as you
