Used exotic batteries bought online, helped them catch him.

Used cell phone location software to figure out his cell phone number.

When he turned his cell phone on, they then had his location.

No unibomber. Just a dumb evil idiot.

Re: TX: Package bombs in Austin

internet is saying suspect is

Mark Anthony Conditt, a 24-year-old white man from Pflugerville, Texas

Unfortunately with the internet and social media, when something like this happens it becomes a tragedy for lots of people.

Apparently you want to set your facebook to private rather than trying to erase your history.

Re: TX: Package bombs in Austin

"Manley said an officer had fired at the suspect, and another officer who was knocked back by the blast was treated for minor injuries."

Congrats to the hero's.

Probably there will be no mention of a good guy with a gun ended the terror.

We can be thankful, he was no unibomber.

Ok maybe it’s both. Unrelated car fire. A donated flare at Goodwill was dropped and it burst into flames.

Now being called an incendiary device.

But it sounds like a car flare.

A guy on Reddit is claiming he’s the bomber. Wants to be as famous as the zodiac killer. Loves all the attention.

Re: TX: Package bombs in Austin

My understanding one of the frustrating things about the Unibomber for law inforcement was that he carved his bomb parts out of wood.

I hope this yahoo is not a smart or as careful.

RIP poor victims.
