Man Who Blew Up Palm Springs Fertility Clinic in Deadly Explosion Left Behind Chilling Writings
The man authorities allege set off a deadly car explosion outside a California fertility clinic left behind chilling online writings, according to multiple news reports, which cite authorities.

Guy Edward Bartkus, 25, was identified by the FBI’s Los Angeles field office as a suspect one day after the bombing that killed him and damaged several buildings in Palm Springs on Saturday, May 17.

Palm Springs police described the incident as an “intentional act of violence,” per a previous press release. Police said the blast originated from a “vehicle explosion at 1199 N. Canyon” — which is the address of the American Reproductive Centers (ARC), a facility that performs services including IVF and egg freezing, according to its website.

Akil Davis, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, told the Associated Press that Bartkus left behind writings that supported “nihilistic ideations.”

Before the perp's identity and views became known, Progs desperately tried to blame MAGAs, Pro-Lifers, and Bible-believing Christians. Hatred and wisdom are casually acquainted, if at all. The DU thread has been up for about an hour, still just the one Reply. I don't think the thread will get a lot of Replies, since the perp and DU-Denizens have similar hatred for MAGAs, Pro-Lifers, and Bible-believing Christians. OTOH, if it does get more Replies, the (very) mental pretzellations and gymnastics could get :popcorn: .

I wonder how much the inability to admit being wrong about anything is behind the Democrats' inability to get their act together.

I've posted that hatred and wisdom are seldom companions; hatred and ignorance, frequently:

They expect their hate and cruelty to be rewarded.

Had usonian bothered to scan the late unlamented perp's ravings or substantial quotes from it, (s)he would know that the perp hates Evangelicals and Pro-Life people as much or slightly more than many/most DU-Denizens.

3. Exactly, it's not a positive philosophy at all.

The thread has gotten all of 3 Replies, probably because most DU-Denizens lost interest in the bombing when they realized the perp is not MAGA, Pro-Life, or Bible-believing Christian.

LiberalLoner and  usonian clearly have not reflected on where the perp's atheism led him, into nihilism generally and the conclusion that life has no meaning and thus should be exterminated. In the Christianity that he and many/most DU-Denizens reject and hate, humans do have value and purpose, including walking through suffering.

The FBI was very quick to classify this as terrorism. Terrorism, by definition, has to have some political or ideological objective behind it. It looks like this loon was just a suicidal lunatic without any real terrorist motivation.

The guy's website is down/yanked, but here is a cached version of it, https://archive.is/BOSpk . In it he explains his philosophy/ideology.

He is a efilist or antinatalist and had a thing for Adam Lanza.

I read some of it. There's no real ideology there and his act was just a nut committing suicide.
