Hewitt was talking about FBI keeping an eye out on Jihadi Social platforms.....but had seen nothing there.

Unless there is some info the bomber left behind its highly unlikely we will ever find out.

A slight disagreement. This guy didn't live in a vacuum. I'm sure he had friends/acquaintances just like Nicholas Cruz, Jared Loughner and James Holmes. Something like "Oh, yeah. Mark. Strange dude, man. Always blowing $#@! up out in the woods and talking about lizard people".

Given that it's all tied to Austin, I suspect an Austin nutjob with an agenda. I expect that the explosion at FedEx was not part of the plan.

Austin Nut Job? Alex Jones? hehe

Well if he was talking about zombies.....I'm gonna blame Hollywood.

Austin bombings: Deceased suspect named as Texas man
21 Mar`18 - US media have identified the suspect linked to a series of deadly parcel bombs targeting the Texas city of Austin as Mark Anthony Conditt, 23.

The man was killed after he detonated an explosive as officers approached his car following a chase in Round Rock, north of the Texas state capital. Officials say he lived about 20 miles (30km) from Austin in a shared home. The incident follows four bomb attacks in the Austin area. Officials warn he may have placed more bombs in the area.

Who is the suspect?

Police have not formally identified the suspect, but he has been named in US media as Mark Anthony Conditt, aged 23. Texas Governor Greg Abbot told Fox News that he lived with two flatmates in Pflugerville, about 20 miles north of Austin. He added the two flatmates have been talking to authorities, but were not suspected of any crimes. Mr Abbot said the suspect did not destroy his online footprint, which may provide investigators with a "treasure trove of information that should shed light on who he is, what he did, and why he was doing it". According to USA Today, he attended the Austin Community College from 2010-2012 but did not graduate.

The BBC has confirmed that this 2013 photo is of Mark Conditt

The Austin American-Statesman newspaper reports that he was homeschooled by his mother during his high school years. His parent's home is now being searched by authorities, according to the newspaper. "I officially graduated Mark from High School," his mother wrote on Facebook in a 2013 post showing her son. "He's thinking of taking some time to figure out what he wants to do...maybe a [religious] mission trip," his mother wrote. The newspaper reports that he had recently worked for Crux Semiconductor in Austin as a "purchasing Agent/buyer/shipping and receiving", citing a profile on a job recruiting website.

US media have uncovered a 2012 blog which was written under the suspect's name and appeared to be for a university course that he attended. In the blog called "Defining my Stance", he purportedly describes beliefs that "gay marriage should be illegal", opposition to abortion and why the sex offender registry should be eliminated. In the blog, he defines himself as "a conservative". "But I don't think I have enough information to defend my stance as well as it should be defended," he says, adding that he is taking the course "because I want to understand the US government, and I hope that it will help me clarify my stance".

How did events unfold?

In the end, I'm guessing this kid slipped a cog. LWers have already made cracks about "homeschooling", but in the end, it will come down to the mental state of Mark Conditt.

You have to do your own research to determine the motive because the media has an agenda to paint all white supremacist even if they are not white skinned. I like to know the real motives. Just like now in VA has a guy off of I 95 near Belvedere suicidal armed suspect. He got his car stuck and they have him surrounded.

Sorry off topic but the guy in VA Henrico county just told the Richmond police he didn't want to hurt anyone, he just wants to kill himself. Sad.
