This information (if accurate) does not seem to appear at any U.S. new site yet.
The bomber at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, has been identified as a 25-year-old man who left an online manifesto in which he described himself as a pro-mortalist, saying people didn’t give consent to exist.
The suspect is Guy Edward Bartkus, a 25-year-old man from Twentynine Palms, a small city about 35 miles northeast of Palm Springs. He left a 30-minute audio recording in which he explained his motive for the attack.
“I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I’ve decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic,” he said at the beginning of the recording. “Basically, it just comes down to I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here.”
Describing himself as anti-life, he adds: “I’m very against [IVF], it’s extremely wrong. These are people who are having kids after they’ve sat there and thought about it. How much more stupid can it get?”
Huh… if this is accurate I think this is the first time I’ve seen this particular ideology do suicide bombings.
Welp, I suppose if it’s true it’s a happy ending for everyone, he doesn’t exist anymore and the IVF clinic’s embryos were unharmed.
Yes except there were 4 other people injured, and some property damage.
Oh… I hadn’t heard about the injuries. That changes it a fair bit from the “Asshole suicide bomber blows only himself up” narrative I had in my head.
I tried to find anything about how badly the others were hurt, but I could only find that none were clinic employees, and there were no patients there that day. So his “mission” was a complete failure. And I would hope the lack of information indicates the passersby’s injuries aren’t significant, though it could be HIPAA or lazy reporting. Edit: all injuries minor, yay!
He said he had been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, so more mental illness than ideology.
¿Por que no los dos?
