As a non-USAmerican I just assumed this was a common thing over there
As a Burgerlandian, I just assumed it was a standard house explosion. Was this guy cool or something?
Sometimes houses just explode, impossible to know why really
Around Thanksgiving, it is
Those gender reveal parties you guys do usually end up like this too right?
Yeppers
👏make👏explosions👏normal👏again👏
Can someone give me the lowdown on what the guy believed? I heard he was into conspiracy, was he a crank?
was he a crank?
Most likely.
Sadly he didn't take any cops out with him.
We had a thread on it the night it happened. Definitely had crank vibes. He worked in information security or something
His LinkedIn bio was about the alphabet agencies coming after him.
Hm that's compelling. Like I said when I posted about this before it reminds me of the Nashville Christmas Day bombing.
He says that the FBI has been harassing him since 2017
His career is largely centered around information security for the military and government
During 2020 and beyond, he became more paranoid and anti American
He believes that the media and government are targeting Asians in the US and encouraging people to kill them
While he says that he believes the government is also planning on discriminating and killing POC in general, he also believes that black people get a pass from being cancelled when they speak against the government. He posted a shit ton so I didn’t get a chance to see what he was supposedly cancelled for
He believes his neighbors are CIA/FBI plants to surveil him
He wrote a letter to Xi Jinping begging for help because the US government is accusing him of opening up bank accounts in China and receiving payments from suspicious individuals. He believes that there is evidence, but that it has been fabricated to frame him
He also believes that the government has been fabricating his health records
He also agrees with Noam Chomsky that the US is a terrorist state, but accuses the government of a double standard because Chomsky wasn’t cancelled because he’s white
He had like a 3.75 or 3.9 GPA in college. Ted Kaczynski was MKULTRA’d while he was a Harvard student which resulted in him sending letter bombs from a cabin.
Not saying this random guy was experimented on. My theory is that he learned a lot of secrets and abuses from his time as a military and government contractor dealing with sensitive data, became disillusioned, got spied on for potentially being a Chinese spy, and received no mental healthcare and couldn’t process any of it.
He was also a landlord, so maybe he just got really angry about returning security deposits.
house explodes one day next to langley, the next day a bill is introduced to the House to establish a HUAC for palestinians and their allies what can I say
American wackos live everywhere in the US. I assumed it was just a coincidence and nothing more.
Damn, this viral marketing campaign for the new season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force goes even harder than the last one
I can't really say anything with any degree of certainty about whether he was just delusional or if there really was some wild-ass CIA shit going on behind the scenes, but I will say this whole episode was an incredibly sad waste of a huge IED and a guy's willingness to be a suicide bomber. Dude killed himself by detonating his entire house when cops showed up to serve a search warrant, yet they miraculously all walked away with minor injuries.
I guess Derek Chauvin being stabbed 22 times in prison was all the cop schadenfreude the universe was willing to give us for a while.
The guy was a paranoid schizophrenic (I’m assuming because he believed that the TV was talking to him) who used to work in security for the military and I’m assuming agencies around Virginia and Maryland. He likely saw some shit that activated the bad parts of the brain lol
