Reddit user says he's Austin bomber, likens self to Zodiac Killer

A mysterious social media user claims to be behind the bombings that have terrorized Texas in recent weeks, vowing that he won't stop until he becomes "as prolific as the Zodiac Killer."
"My intention is not to kill people. I am doing this simply because I want to watch the world burn," someone using the handle "austinbomber" posted on Reddit Tuesday.
The anonymous user made a string of disturbing messages in which he compared himself to the Zodiac, the notorious serial killer who was never caught or identified even though he murdered at least five people in California in the 1960s and '70s.
The self-professed Austin bomber denied suggestions that the attacks are racially motivated.

Not doing it to kill people....kills people....doesn't throttle back but instead seems to be getting busier.
Hmmm

probably just a troll. Damn shame too because he would be wasting LEO resources, as the article states they are looking into it.

Well that’s unsettling. I haven’t looked into the details of these bombs, the locations, the victims, etc. I know the general details.
Law enforcement should have video footage of the perp by now?? Right?? Especially with the Fedex packages from today. Were they dropped off to Fedex?

It doesn't take an extremely internet-savvy individual to know that Reddit isnt as anonymous as many other message boards out there, therefore I'm betting this one is a hoax/troll. There's sites like 4chan and 8chan that are solely dedicated to remaining anonymous and take it seriously, just to name a couple. Why would you use Reddit?

I can’t think of a reason.
Reddit is about as anonymous as TD; if you came here talking about bombing something or killing someone, admins could easily turn over your IP and relevant information to authorities.

It has the feel that they have some pretty good clues already and are closing in. The bomber offloading 4 today may be evidence that they believe that to be true. Possibly getting sloppy. I hope that means this ends soon.

If not a troll, he wants to be caught.

This has to be a troll. He mentioned nothing that wasn't either in the media reports or just shite he likely made up.

I'm sure there are still plenty of ways to stay anonymous while using reddit. So many wifi hotspots out there, you could just use one and move on.

Cheap troll, IMO.

Whoever he is ... he's not playing with a full deck.
Then again, if he's wiley enough and has balls big enough to fabricate these bombsz he may be wiley enough to throw this bait out there daring cops to try to catch him.
Psychopaths are known for believing they are smarter than those trying to catch them.

Sounds like he is playing the "no intent" card early
Posted on 3/21/18 at 12:15 am to scrooster
You know what I would do if I didn’t wanna get caught? Not post that shite to the internet...
If he is a troll, he is gonna go to jail. If he is the bomber, he is gonna go to jail. There is no failsafe way to post on an internet message board and remain 100% anonymous.

Fake bommr

It was him ... he knew he was about to get caught and he was posting either to make some sort of alibi for himself in terms of insanity or explain his reasoning (which psychopaths try to do) or it was his undoing.
Either way, the fricking nutcase is gone now ... but it was him in Reddit.

The bomber was 24 years old. This guy said he was 30-50.
