Just him. RIP, bro.

I think Nukedog revealed his location in the Planet Fitness parking lot one time.

24 hour fitness. I posted my real name. Best you'll get is my voter registration to an old address. Maybe my phone number if you want to hit me up.

Yeah, they think they have a serial bomber in the area but don't know anything.

Fertilizers here have additives which inhibit their explosive potential. Pretty hard to build a bomb here.
Plenty of other ways to make bombs. Also, those additives are possible to remove, like Breivik did here in Norway. But it does help in making it a bit harder for terrorists to make the really large truck bombs.

But, acetone peroxide is still the terrorist's go to explosive. Easy to get hold of chemicals, easy to make, although risky, easy to detonate, and very powerful.

Then you have basic black powder in a pressurized container. Black powder is easily obtained around new years eve everywhere, and you can make it yourself using medieval techniques. And even if that's gone, you can still make an equivalent from match heads. Still hard to make the big truck bombs, but backpacks and pressure cooker bombs will never go away through "bomb control measures". And you can only limit the prevalence of the big ones to some degree.

And the americans did have a bombing campaign on their country for a pretty long time:

I'm afraid the media will treat this the same stupid way they treat mass shootings, sensationalizing it, and glorifying the criminal for other would be murderers.

he got away for like 20 or so years (okay more like 17 years) before his brother and his sister-in-law figured out that it was him (they kept his old letters to them and the brother had to dig them up and compared them to the manifesto, that was published in like the mid-1990s, left by the Unabomber, and they were shocked that it was so similar. And it was really the wife who was more suspicious of who it was and eventually she convinced her husband as well) who was making all those bombs and told the FBI. According to the story that I know, the only thing they asked was that he won't get the death penalty if they brought him in. Eventually, Ted got life in prison and an

A few weeks after the manifesto appeared, a man in New York state began to feel uneasy.

At the urging of his wife, Linda Patrik, David Kaczynski had read what The Post had published and was struck by how much it reminded him of the letters that he and family members had received from his older brother, Ted.

A brilliant mathematician who rejected a promising academic career, Ted Kaczynski had moved to Montana in 1971 to live a hermit’s life alone in a cabin.

The younger man began to ponder the unthinkable: Could his estranged brother be a serial killer? And could David Kaczynski bring himself to turn him in?

After the couple discussed it, Patrik turned to a childhood friend, Susan Swanson, an investigator who worked for Terry Lenzner, a prominent lawyer and private investigator in Washington. Swanson led the private investigation and hired Clint Van Zandt, a criminal profiler, and Anthony Bisceglie, a lawyer who represented David Kaczynski and his wife.

Van Zandt compared the manifesto with David Kaczynski’s letters from his brother. His conclusion: There was a strong chance that both were written by the same man.

David Kaczynski (who did not respond to phone calls this week) next turned to Anthony P. Bisceglie, a Washington attorney. Bisceglie approached the FBI to discuss what the Kaczynski family now knew.

The weird thing is that Unabomber had some interesting ideas that he made unpopular just by killing people. Seriously go read his work. He kind of had a point. Not sure what bombing people accomplished towards those ends, though. I guess he came up with his philosophy before he went crazy.

Good thing he wasn't a biologist (or whatever you call someone who can create or modify viruses).

Good thing he was such an incompetent bomber. 16 bombs, 23 people injured and 3 killed.

It was Henry Murray (of MK ULTRA fame) that fucked him up with his psychological experiments.
