"I can confirm that we are executing a search warrant at that location in Twentynine Palms as a result of this explosion here," Davis said. "We do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the public in the Twentynine Palms area," suggesting the suspect is dead.
"We believe he is the subject found near the vehicle," he said.
Gee, I wonder what political views we’ll find out they had. /s
Nothing of value lost with this one.
- Motivation on this one was supposedly anti-population increase and anti-IVF. Doesn’t sound like your typical right-wing terrorist.
  
  Ah. I assumed it was the every-life-is-precious anti-IVF for religious reasons. Guess we'll see.

  Clearly a Bernie Bro, duh! 😉
- Ohhh I bet it will be a hippie... Like weeds and drum circles. Or possibly a trans person.
Boy, you had to read pretty far to lean that the suspect was dead at the scene.
“The subject had nihilistic ideations and this was a targeted attack against the IVF facility,"
I don't dispute he had "nihilistic ideaitions", but nihilism can never motivate terrorism or anything else. It happens to be the nature of the universe and I'm frustrated how many people treat it as synonyms with being disturbed and violent. Their was a time when 'atheist' was used in the same way.
- I wouldn't put it past him to pardon a dead man(he was the only one who died, the other victims have already been released from the hospital with minor injuries).
- Maybe, but a couple months ago Trump made an executive order about reducing the cost of IVF. I'm sure some of that is Musk's influence, because AFAIK all of his kids are IVF babies
  
  I have one idiot coworker who supported Trump (I'm unclear if she actually voted for him, in the past she's been proud that she's never voted, like I said, idiot) largely because of something he said during the campaign about lowering costs for IVF
  She doesn't have kids, as far as I know doesn't want them.
  She was in some kind of poly relationship, is going through a divorce, is wiccan, we work in the public sector (county level so kind of insulated from DOGE type bullshit, but not that insulated because of course we get a butt load of federal funds) and has a few health issues.
  It's like she's aiming to be the poster girl for getting her face eaten by leopards.
