So, was he careless? Was he stupid?
Or, does the FBI have resources available that were able to penetrate any safeguards that were in place?
If he was searching dumb # on his own network then he's pretty stupid.
Law enforcement officials identified the suspected Austin bomber — who blew himself up as police closed in on him — as 24-year-old Mark Anthony Conditt, who lived with two roommates in a city suburb.

It's looking like Conditt was the reddit poster. In one post he says he had a lot of time to read when he was younger and his favorite book was "The Chamber" by Grisham. He was home schooled so that matches up. He then said right now he has been reading the Bible.
The poster said he may be mentally ill. Ya think....!
One of the packages was sent to a "very proflific" radio show hosts who lives in Austin.. This could be Alex Jones.

He was an IT guy.
He knew better.
Which is why I think this guy is a patsy.
They labeled his bombs sophisticated only to blow himself up.

It appears from a facebook post by his mom that they were heavy duty Christians. He was homeschooled, and she mentions after he “graduated” high school, that he might take some time off and do a mission trip. Just speculation at this point...
You can't be a "heavy-duty" Christian and bomb people. Just saying...
Religious bombings are VERY VERY commonplace in some places.
Yeah in the middle east.
As the topic goes.
Officials are unsure of his motive.

Christian = good - even when bad
Muslim = bad - even when good

He knew how to avoid getting tracked, but didn't?
