I googled images of the area, plus googled that nearby YMCA to see pics' of local folk. And I read criminal profiling articles just now on these bombers.
The locals look to be middle affluent sorts.
The profilers say for sure the bomber is angry about something.
My guess is the bomber is a local middle aged male who's a sneaky loner type and definitely knows the area - I read that normally the 1st crime scene is really imp' cuz the offender knows that spot and felt most safe to commit the type crime there initially.
I say the bomber is a sneaky sort who thinks he can and will outwit police, FBI, etc., and prob' has a little higher IQ lol than most.
I wonder if the bomber did these 2 as a ruse to confuse and mislead police that he really is, say, a racist filled with hate toward African Americans. This makes most sense to me.
But if this keeps going on and the victims are just a big mix of area folks of all sorts then maybe the man is angry at the Austin govt' or some particular branch of it?
I notice how in press confs' they have big 'FBI' decals showing - surely to entice the bomber who they guess has a dimension of his personality that is he feels REALLY SUPERIOR to 'those idiots' and so is being subtly pressured to 'get cocky' and slip up so police can catch the guy.
HOW IN THE WORLD can the guy get away with planting all these freakin' bombs all over the place? The areas look to be densely populated. Surely the man plans, so maybe he dropped off the boxes deep in the night? To set up trip wires for bicyclists as it's said he's doing on these 2 bombs of yesterday, surely he planned the sites in daylight and then my guess is he came back deep in the night (when no one's walking around or walking the dog) to set things up. He's got to get 'a high', right?, from setting out the bombs/traps, because he always runs the risk of getting caught or seen by Someone.
Up here in MN IMO there are cameras all over the place publicly - for those of 'us' who live in that area, are there cameras around in the areas where the 5 bombs have happened? One would think that study of surveillance of area, businesses and homes, would at least show a suspect vehicle (but maybe the man rents cars?). Don't a Whole Lot of people nowadays tend to have those camera systems set up at their homes- I know nothing on 'statistics' but my impression is that recording video all over the place, by govt' and bus' owners and home owners and renters is so very common it may well be the norm in all of the areas involved but esp' the relatively affluent area where these 2 most recent attacks occurred (surely in time the police will tell us if those 'trip wires' were in areas aways from homes (IE, no cameras...).
Sounds HORRIFIC !! No one anywhere in that area can be safe even to walk down their street now !!
