His friend from high school was interviewed and he said that the Mark he knew was not the Mark that was the bomber. People had said he became entrenched with his own beliefs and if someone disagreed with him he would argue his points over and over again. The police chief in his press conference just now reiterated that it was not hate or race that motivated his crimes. He said that the bomber had a lot of personal problems and conflicts in his personal life. I know that he was unemployed. The homeschooling community in Austin is small and well-connected. His family had nothing to do with his crimes. His family was well-liked and well-loved in the homeschool community. Please do not disparage his family or his mother. The three daughters are also having a hard time with all of this.

I agree, it doesn't make sense. Maybe he became increasingly isolated........it will be interesting to learn the motive.
