Afterthought

The FBI has apparently caught the Florida bomber, and what was reported yesterday (and repeated here) - that the bombs were duds - is being denied today. And it appears he was in truth a political radical, albeit a less-than-competent bomb maker.

Trump is no more responsible for the bomb-maker’s behavior than Bernie Sanders was responsible for his supporter who shot Rep. Steve Scalise and tried to murder several other Republican members of the congressional baseball team.

It turns out the bomb-maker is another “known wolf” trouble-maker, with a non-trivial criminal record and very clear extreme views. Lots of people who should be in mental hospitals are instead wandering around loose causing trouble.
