FULL TITLE: SWAT team descends on Austin bomber's home and speak to shirtless man just hours after the homeschooled Christian blew himself up during police chase, ending 19-day campaign of terror

The 23-year-old who blew himself up as police tried to arrest him over a string of deadly Austin bombings has been described as a quiet, home-schooled young man.

Mark Anthony Conditt killed himself when he detonated a bomb inside his SUV as police surrounded him near a hotel on Interstate 35, just outside Austin, at about 2am on Wednesday.

Police closed in on the bomber after obtaining CCTV footage of him posting two packages at a FedEx office that intended to target people of color on Sunday night.

Authorities are warning that more bombs could still be out there because they do not know if the bomber posted more devices prior to his death.

Police started evacuating the area near where Conditt lived at about 1pm on Wednesday, fearing there could explosives there. They have since questioned his two housemates about their knowledge of the bombings.

The bomber had gone on a three week bombing spree stretching back to March 2. The series of bombings killed two people and injured at least five others. The most recent package bomb detonated at a FedEx distribution center near San Antonio early Tuesday.

Police still do not know the motive behind the attacks or whether the bomber had an accomplice, but did say he wasn't previously known to law enforcement.

Police believe Conditt, who previously worked as a computer repair technician and at a manufacturing company, made all the bombs himself.

The only reason I’ve seen them take down facebook profiles is because they turned out to be democrats. If he was Christian and it was all over facebook, wouldn’t they be saving it and broadcasting it everywhere?

I wonder if he had a father figure in his life? In Dec 2012, his mother posts "I just married!" - which implies she was a single mother for some period of time prior to that, perhaps many years.

His biological father was not completely out of the picture though. Reportedly in the past year, his father co-built a house with him that the perp was now living in.

The mother home-schooled 4 children, including a daughter a year or two younger than the perp who was into gymnastics. On Feb 19, 2013 she posted the photo of him that was the first photo widely seen on the web, with these comments:

"I officially graduated Mark from High School on Friday. 1 down, 3 to go. He has 30 hrs of college credit too, but he’s thinking of taking some time to figure out what he wants to do ... maybe a mission trip. Thanks to everyone for your support over the years."

So that's where the MSM gets the "Christian" part from, namely that his Christian home-schooling mother, over 5 years ago, hoped he would "maybe do a mission trip" after graduation.

Because homeschooled Christians want to see the world burn.

No mention of college? Professors? Major? Recent work experience?

______

He was fired from a job for "not meeting expectations", I believe I read. He also never finished a college experience it was also mentioned.

Guess you’d rather it be a shirtless woman being interviewed right there on your tv.

5 o’clock local Austin news say they’re finding all kinds of evidence. Says they’re leaving the library open late for residents to hang out in and that they can go back home at 9.

Local Austin evening news says they’re finding a sorts of bomb making stuff at the house but just like with the San Bernardino grandma and Boston Bomber’s wife, they’ve patted at least one of the roommates on the head and sent him back out into decent society. Residents will be allowed back to their homes at 9 tonight. The public library is opened late to accommodate the evacuated.

I’m thinking the foreign or exotic batteries may have come from his mama’s Amway business. http://www.amway.com/DaneneConditt/lcl/en/ResourceCenterDocuments/Visitor/multi-unb-msds-v-en—AlkalineBatteries.pdf

Clock Boy was black, Muslim and expelled from school. He was given the key to the city, invited to Soetoro’s White House and hailed as a hero. Let’s not forget it ran in the family with his older sister also being expelled for threatening to blow up her high school.

There are lots of tree hugger wacko libs in Austin who homeschool. Yes, the article meant homeschool to indicate conservative. The msm refuses to admit homeschool doesn’t mean either - or.

Hey, it matters to the msm that Trump may have had 3 hos rent themselves out to him for adult entertainment a dozen years ago.

“He was very quiet and introverted,” the owner said. The small business owner said, over time, Conditt did not meet job expectations and was given several warnings and opportunities to improve. “He would prioritize things in his own way,” he said. Those priorities did not coincide with the company’s vision and Crux Manufacturing fired Conditt last August, according to the owner. The owner said Conditt was never confrontational and there were no specific incident or argument that resulted in his termination.”

*** “And shirtless men. Jeez! What do they have against shirtless men?” ***

I am in South Texas, stop by my house from next month until next October and (anyone) would find me shirtless (lucky to find me in long pants).

If I invited (anyone)they will find me dressed, they show up unannounced they will find me in whatever condition I find comfortable at the moment and I do not care what they or other people think of or about it.

KXAN tv news (not on internet yet) just interviewed the mother of one of the roommates. The woman is black with an accent so may be foreign.

We get more U.S. news out of London than here in America.

That's pretty sad state of affairs.

One blogpost and we do not know where that came from because any other social media of his was scrubbed.

They left, or made up one, to start a narrative.
