The suspect in a spate of bombings that terrorized Austin, Texas, died early Wednesday after detonating an explosive inside his vehicle as a SWAT team tried to apprehend him on the side of a highway, officials said.
Authorities had tracked the suspect — a 24-year-old white man — to a hotel in Round Rock, a city in the Austin metropolitan area, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said at a news conference.
Police did not name the bomber, but two law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation identified him to NBC News as Mark Anthony Conditt.
Police were able to locate Conditt using a variety of tactics, including cellphone triangulation. Surveillance footage taken at an Austin FedEx was also used to apprehend him.
Authorities shared the surveillance footage showing a man believed to be Conditt entering a FedEx facility wearing what appeared to be a blonde wig and dropping off a package.
Early Wednesday, police tracked Conditt’s vehicle until he pulled over on Interstate 35 and “the suspect detonated a bomb inside the vehicle, knocking one of our SWAT officers back,” Manley said, adding that the officer sustained minor injuries.
Rest in pieces.
Got greedy.
Okay, I was hoping for footage of the event. This will have to substitute.

We need bomb control!
Ban all bombs!!!!

Thank you, Mr. Conditt, for saving the Texas taxpayers a boatload in trying you, incarcerating you, and ultimately the electricity expense for your sit-in visit with Old Sparky.
Gee. This is unusual. Within hours of event NBC announced suspect is white, conservative. Who could have seen NBC do that?
Well, this kid didn’t fit any standard profiles. He had me fooled.
As far as NBC is concerned…even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
Ugh!… Shitstorm coming… He self-identified as a “conservative” five years ago…

In a post 6 years ago he said he was apolitical but probably considered himself conservative.
That doesn’t mean he’s conservative.
6 years is a long time for the left to work on him in college and turn him into a confused radical.
We’ll see.
Doesn’t matter, though. If Muslim terrorists have no reflection on Islam whatsoever, this bomber has no reflection on conservatives.
Those are the left’s rules, not mine.
Why the hard-on for FedEx? Because they wouldn’t stop delivering packages for NRA? Or was he a pro-US postal service radical? Or was he antifa? They like bombs and such, and they copycat muslims.
“Austin bomb suspect Mark Anthony Conditt blows himself up as SWAT team approaches”
It’s the only thing he did right was to off himself. No lawyers, no jury, no judge, no bail, and more air for us to breathe. It’s a happy ending for mankind.
Homeschooling to community college where he could have evolved. Being a conservative at 17 uder your parents home education thumb to today after college. There is something majorly missing. How did he learn to build the bombs? Mayhem isn’t anything conservatives advocate.
Homeschooling has major issues if not done properly. Many of these kids have little to no interaction with others their age. Remember this kid? Bright as hell but…

It is not yet known if the suspect died from the blast or from gunshots fired by the officer. Manley said the officer-involved shooting will be investigated.
The MSM will connect this event to the NRA, just watch

I noticed they immediately jumped right out and identified him as “white”.
Another answered prayer!
“Doesn’t matter, though. If Muslim terrorists have no reflection on Islam whatsoever, this bomber has no reflection on conservatives.
Those are the left’s rules, not mine.”
BOOM! 💣
This person has someone helping him. Remember the Washington DC case.
This doesn’t make sense to me. The FBI better be looking for other, and don’t do the same things like the Las Vegas shouting
Don’t blame the bomber, blame the bomb. It was an assault bomb.
His Facebook account has been scrubbed. If there was anything conservative about this nut Schmuckburger would be shouting it from the rooftops. The leftist twats on Twitter are so happy he’s white…sorry – the left owns this one too.
Ten-spot sez, “Anqueefa!” 🙄
David Hogg must be pissed off right now. Nobody is returning his calls.
Exploding ordnance intending to kill and maim innocents is in itself contrary to conservative principles…. I am glad the guy is gone, but I am sorry about his insanity (not that I had anything to do with it)..

“the suspect detonated a bomb inside the vehicle, knocking one of our SWAT officers back,”
They also said that he and the officer “exchanged gunfire” which is kind of tough to do when you’re blown to smithereens. My guess is that the officers fired – and detonated the bomb – without any assistance from the insane guy.
Either way, with him dead, the media, BATFE, cops, DoJ, FBI, and Homeland Security can make up any bullshit they want.
izlamo delenda est …
They’ve become much more efficient at scrubbing internet profiles anymore.
I’ll tell you, this kid was a murdering Snowflake, and it is the nature of Snowflakes from our educational system to become so frustrated with fake teaching, false narratives, and ineptitude that they are willing to murder indiscriminately.
This is a social problem for the next 50 years in America.
I have a friend who is a conservative liberal. Like a blue dog in the old days.
Even carries a gun.
