Why would anyone send fake bombs to political targets? — 4 Comments

  1. A good summary of possible motives.

    I know a man who, except for his lack of funds and location in Washington state, might be a suspect in this case. This man is a high functioning autistic individual. He is very smart in math and is obsessed with politics. He is very emotionally involved with political events and expresses his feelings of frustration and helplessness quite often. He would like to be able to influence political events. He does not read social signals well. Because of that he is shunned by many people, which makes him feel picked on and isolated. He dreams up non-violent ways to get even with those who have shunned him. His ideas usually exhibit an odd sense of humor. What is humorous to him is not obvious to most other people. Sending fake pipe bombs with the Arabic lettered “Git ‘er dun!” note is the type of thing he would find humorous.

    I was relieved to learn that the packages didn’t come from Washington state. It relieved me of the duty to report this person as a possible suspect.

    I don’t know if his personality type is a match for Cesar Sayoc. Sayoc seems to be much more outwardly aggressive than my acquaintance. Sayoc’s a registered Republican, yet doesn’t seem to support law and order. Odd that. Is he a Never Trumper Republican or an alt-right Republican? It will be interesting to learn more.

  2. “And perhaps I’ve left out some possibilities without realizing it.”

    (7) It really was Debbie W-S.
