The Austin bomber, Mark Anthony Conditt, blew himself up after a SWAT team approached his vehicle. Authorities are still trying to gather information, and they discovered something: A confession.
Where the hell did the liberal MSM get their narrative that the Austin bomber hated gays, was a conservative and white nationalist. #FakeNewsMedia at its best. It’s time to hold them accountable. MSM Fake news is ripping the country apart. #texas #FedEx pic.twitter.com/d3tR6xjLLn

A 25-minute recording was found on Conditt’s cellphone when police recovered his body Wednesday morning.
In his confession, Conditt described the components of seven bombs he built — including, authorities believe, the one he used to kill himself — and detailed the differences among the bombs, Manley said.
However, the confession was missing a crucial piece of information. It offered no insight on the motive.
But the video itself failed to shed light on a possible motive. He did not make any references suggesting involvement with terror groups or that the bombings were hate crimes.
“I know everybody is interested in a motive and understanding why. And we’re never going to be able to put a (rationale) behind these acts,” Manley told reporters Wednesday night.
Manley ultimately said there’s no motive. He said we’re trying to assign rationality to an irrational act.

Some people are really mad and convinced Manley is treating this case differently because the bomber is white.
I don't know if Austin PD Chief Brian Manley has a Twitter, but I just wanna say: Fuck you. If that bomber was black or Latino, y'all would be calling for his head and calling him a terrorist and not "troubled young man". Kiss my ass, @Austin_Police

Austin police Chief Brian Manley: "It is the outcry of a very challenged young man talking about challenges in his life that led him to this point."
Mr. Manley, no sir, you are wrong. I'll help you reword that sentence.
THE. YOUNG. MAN. WAS. A. TERRORIST.

"He does not at all mention anything about terrorism, nor does he mention anything about hate…it is the outcry of a very challenged young man," says Austin Police Chief Brian Manley, describing a recorded confession left by the suspected Austin bomber #tictocnews pic.twitter.com/E7hBgNe2aR

Since he isn’t brown enough to be called a terrorist should we just call him “confused?” #AustinBomber #FixedThatForYou pic.twitter.com/FDkVNAh7bQ

The Austin Police Chief referred to the serial bomber as a “challenged young man.”
Murdering multiple people and being called “challenged” is the height of white privilege.

He wasn’t part of a terrorist network or adhering to a religious ideology. I couldn’t care less about the color of his skin. It doesn’t change the fact that he’s an evil POS who deserves NO sympathy.
We still don’t have a motive, and that’s the truth.
