Police are saying not connected to other bombs - I agree a killer rarely changes MO, but how can they know for sure it's not connected?
Strange from day one - seems no "similarity" of victims
Also, the rate has increased rapidly .. from a week + to more than one in a day ... from porch steps to then a trip wire to Fedex parcels ... no pattern which is very unusual ... possible different perps, copycats, but even that would be unusual

"This is an increase and expansion of sophistication and most likely a trial run for something to come in the future," Rogan said.
On March 19, authorities in Austin made a public plea with whomever is behind the blasts, and the city's police chief, Brian Manley, promised to listen to the bomber and attempt to understand the person's motive.
Rogan says the tactic may be a bad move.
"It puts law enforcement and police in a down power dynamic and instills power on the person," he said. "It gives (perpetrators) a sense of satisfaction, of pride, of accomplishment, that they are in charge."
Other profilers believe that the Austin suspect is displaying, through their actions, behavior that is simply to attract attention and that every move made thus far is deliberate.
"This person is displaying a histrionic personality," Jim Kenney, a former FBI profiler and special agent, said to Fox News. "This person is intelligent, focused and manipulative. A player. A catch-me-if-you-can type."

Austin serial bombing suspect killed in dramatic confrontation; ID'd as 24-year-old man
Mark Anthony Conditt, 24, was named as the bomber, an ATF source told Fox News. A picture of Conditt in 2013 from his mother's Facebook page was authenticated by The Austin-American Statesman.
Conditt was killed near the motel he was traced to by authorities using surveillance footage from a Federal Express drop-off store and cell phone triangulation technology, according to The Austin American-Statesman.
He died after fleeing the motel in a car, with police hot on his tail. He drove into a ditch, sparking the fatal confrontation.
Police said Conditt detonated two package bombs as police closed in, firing at him. It was not immediately clear whether he died from the bombs or shots fired by police. One officer was knocked back by the blasts, but none were seriously hurt.

2. The authorities were able to gather information after police noticed the subject shipped an explosive device from a Sunset Valley FedEx store, a suburb approximately 25 minutes away from Austin. The evidence included the security footage from the store, as well as store receipts obtained showing suspicious transactions.
3. The authorities were also able to look at the individual's Google search history, the Statesman noted, which gave them further insight into his dealings.
4. The authorities were also able to use cell phone triangulation technology, which provides a cell phone's location data via information collected from nearby cell towers.
Sounds like good and comprehensive detective work to me

That was simple, but deadly. A pressure cooker, nails and some kind of trigger mechanism.

A strong metal container in effect magnifies the impact
So long as the explosive can shatter the casing, the stronger the casing the greater the impact

Conditt had worked at Crux Semiconductor in Austin as a "purchasing Agent/buyer/shipping and receiving," according to a profile on a job recruiting website and had previously worked as a computer repair technician, according to the Statesman.

Conditt later attended Austin Community College (ACC) from 2010 to 2012 but did not graduate, an ACC spokesperson told AP. A government class blog kept by an ACC student named Mark Conditt in 2012 detailed anti-gay marriage, "free abortion" and sex offender registration stances, as well as an argument for the death penalty.Quote
U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, a Republican congressman from Austin and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told KXAN-TV that authorities believe Conditt purchased supplies for bombs at a local Home Depot store, AP reports. It's not clear where the bombs were made, AP adds.Quote
Manley also said there is some concern that other packages may have been left around Austin before the suspect died. "We don't know where this suspect has spent his last 24 hours and therefore we still have to remain vigilant to ensure that no other packages have been left throughout the community," Manley said.

Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said that authorities have discovered that Mark Anthony Conditt, 23, had a "target list of future targets" including residences and addresses discovered by authorities.
"I think he had pulled these addresses, these were his future targets. It was a target list." he said on "America's Newsroom."
McCaul added that based on the data authorities were able to retrieve from Conditt, they were able to go the homes and "clear them" from any suspicious packages.
Conditt also used "exotic batteries" to make his weapons that terrorized Austin this month, according to McCaul, who added that because he used "very unique" battery packs ordered off the internet from Asia, authorities were able to see all of the devices were from the same bomb maker.
The 23-year-old had also used nails purchased at a Home Depot, according to the congressman.

this op ed is typical of what is out there--
In the early part of the Austin bombing a black man was killed and his mother injured, the third victim was an Hispanic woman. So the media figured it is about race. But then the remaining two victims were white, and there was no evidence in the bombers manifesto that it was about race. So what does the media do? Keep saying it was a hate crime and about race, of course.
Bear in mind this is the same media who when a Muslim screams allah akhbar and shoots a bunch of strangers they just can't figure out the motive. "Oh my, what could it be?" or when a black guy kills 6 strangers, all of them white and says he wanted to "kill all white people." the media wonders "is it a hate crime? Gosh, who knows?"
That's what these tards do. They're endlessly skeptical of things that don't fit their worldview and immediately embrace anything that does, no matter how faulty the connection. Journalism my ass

Very simple. All the parts can be easily purchased by anyone at Canadian Tire, for example, other than the charge.
Now, I can purchase Black and Smokeless powder as I have a firearms licence, but those who don't cannot (in Canada).
Solution? Model rocket 'fuel.' Does the same thing, and they'll sell those to anyone.

True. And what happens is the left makes political capital out of these things when they can, and when right could make political capital of one of these they don't. So the balance of power moves further and further to the left.
