Were you fishing when you speculated, after the first victims were identified, that the bombings were likely gang related? I don’t think you were.
If the first bombing victims had been white, would you have speculated they were gang related? I highly doubt it.
Now that you know the race of the bomber, do you still think the bombings were gang related? I bet you don’t.
Anyway, a lot of media describe the suspects the same way as police reports do: race, age, clothing, vehicle color, etc... And, the mere mention of race always seems to rile up or offend some people.
I’m posting from my phone so I can’t post a pic, but the bomber has been identified as 24-year-old Mark Anthony Conditt. I figured the bomber would be older.
Conditt was not known to authorities and LE is investigating whether he might have had accomplices. His two roommates are said to be cooperating with police.
Local LE is still advising residents to be cautious. They don’t know if Conditt delivered or mailed more bombs — which he made outta common everyday materials/chemicals — before he blew himself up when cornered by police.
