This information is being reported at a couple of international sites, but (if accurate) it has apparently been blacked out in the U.S.
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?”
Cos he’s angry he exists, he’ll hurt other people who want to exist.
I can’t imagine a bigger piece of shit.
He could just kill himself and be done with it, that is an option.
Did you read the article? His plan was to prevent people from existing who didn’t consent. Which he failed at. But he did kill himself…
People existing who didn’t consent must be all people, so I guess he was just angry that people exist and saw the IVF clinic as something that helps make people exist. I can kind of see the logic, though he seems to have answered his own question about stupid.
I am pretty sure he knew no one was there but the embryos.
I think 4 people were injured, as I saw from other articles on this. It isn’t clear if these injuries were to people inside the building or elsewhere.
Oh shit, I missed that. I just saw no one died except him
Even killing himself is still dragging other people into his bullshit. Somebody has to discover the body, call the authorities, there’s an investigation, and crime scene clean up, etc. etc.
This causes ongoing trauma to everyone involved, but he’s too self centered to see that.
He has BPD in America. He’s a victim here, too. This is what happens when you have a country driven by greed and hatred. Everyone is traumatized here. Give some grace.
Why do you say he has BPD?
I’d like to know too. The only thing I can find suggesting this outside of the above comment is a thread on Reddit where someone also just casually says he had BPD with no proof.
People like to throw around mental health diagnoses to themselves and others as if it adds a little spice to kick things up a notch.
Very ableist
Don’t quote me on this, but I’m pretty sure if I grew up in America I would have gone on some sort of rampage by now
As someone living in America I have been in mental and physical decline for years. I was born in the 21st century. Our wealth is drawn from blood, from here and abroad.
