They say that the suspect detonated a bomb in his car as SWAT was moving in… Makes me wonder if the individual in the car was really the bomber… 🤔
 
Since CNN is fake news I was able to confirm this from another source:


What struck me in this article was:
Authorities also relied upon store receipts showing suspicious transactions from the person and obtained a search warrant for his Google search history that showed him conducting searches they considered suspicious, the official said.

Authorities relied upon cell phone technology to trace the suspect to a hotel in Williamson County, the official said.

In order to first identify this suspect I’d assume it was the store receipts that helped them. So did a store owner turn in his customer? Did the customer use a credit card which allowed him to be tracked? How were they able so quickly to tie a credit card (assuming that is it) to a Google account?

Anyway, the internet, credit cards, and cell phones are just spy devices that threaten your liberty. If you don’t think so there are plenty of stories about how police use Google and cell companies to identify anyone in an area as a suspect. Once your search history is revealed to police they could link you to all sorts of crimes you didn’t commit.

 
They had surveillance footage from a store he went in to mail one of the last packages I believe.
I am thankful he was stopped. They aren’t sure if he could have mailed anymore packages though so they are asking people to be careful.

If his Google ID is tied to his real name it might not be difficult.

I’m surprised those deciding to commit crimes don’t just leave their cell phones at home and turned on.

For those that don’t want a search history it is probably best not to sign into Google in what ever browser that they use.
 
All the news coverage is bringing out the kooks to get their 15min of fame.

Just your statement alone could make you a suspect of crimes you did not commit. Did you ever consider that aspect?

And here we go with the conspiracy theories again. Do you have even the tiniest reason to suspect that wasn’t the bomber? Is there any information you actually possess that would indicate anything other than what was reported?
 
We don’t have all the facts. But regardless, he was a troubled soul that needed help. And sadly did not recieve it on earth. May GOD have mercy on him.
 
He could’ve been smarter than you think… I’m always questioning…

Unless he had written some kind of manifesto I don’t think we will ever know why he did what he did.

With the breadcrumbs from modern social media, I expect they’ll get a good idea of his motivations.
 
From what I read so far there are very little breadcrumbs. But you never know…it is early…

just tried to find info and yea, he seemed like a normal kid with fairly run of the mill political views, at least for TX. No hate posts have been uncovered.
