Certainly happy he won't be hurting anyone else, but it would have been good to know what was animating him, or if anyone else might have been involved or facilitating in some way.

Just saw the article. He blew himself up as cops approached his vehicle. Wonder what the motive was, and if anyone else is involved.

I don’t really care what his thinking or motive was because these sort of things in the long run never make any good sense. My only concern would be if there are any more live bombs out there or if someone else was involved.

Him dying by his own hand is justice enough for me. Any more expense or time spent on this thing would just be a waste of of good money and time in my opinion.

Maybe he blew himself up because he wasn't blown away by Baselworld?

I know it’s Texas and, well, you don’t mess with Texas. But if it was a certain conviction with no appeals and swift application of the death penalty I would say let’s see what makes him tick. Pun intended.

But the thought of an expensive trial and keeping 3 squares a day and a roof over his head for 30 more years about makes me ill.

Happy with the ending, special thanks to all the law enforcement that worked and are working to keep everyone safe. The Parkland Officer too, so thankful for the heroes out there.
