  1. This is what's WRONG WITH THE MEDIA. PROMOTING SPEAKING ALWAYS ABOUT CRIMINALS NOT THE VICTIMS. ENOUGH GOOD HES DEAD FINALLY NOW THE TAX PAYERS FINALLY SAVE SOME MONEY. PROMOTE THE VICTIMS and THEIR FAMILIES

  2. And still nobody will call him terrorist

  3. Why are white people saying RIP he was a monster for those that weren't alive in the mid 90s smh.

  4. What a waste of a life but you cant help who your parents are!

  5. This is a day I’ll never forget 🙄

  6. It was probably that long covid

  7. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

  8. Unabomber won't be missed

  9. Study math skills, stay in school, get good grades and you too can some day get a life sentence for blowing things up! 🤬😮🏴‍☠️

  10. So now he only has three more life sentences to serve right

  11. Ted was tortured by the CIA through the MKUltra project at Harvard University. He is less violent than the system that robbed him from so much. May his death create attention to his brilliantly written manifesto, which made such topic accessible to people, not only for being published in a famous newspaper, but also for putting difficult ideas in a way they became simple to understand. It is a loss for humanity.

  12. Good I am glad my tasxs are not still feeding this man that killed people he didn't even know !!! Rot in he'll.

  13. One of his targets, David Gelernter, said it best: "If a man is a murderer, I don't give a d– what his opinions are."

  14. And then came Trump to shatter all longevity records of criminal careers.

  15. R.I.P He's hero 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

  16. awe. all the trump supporters will surely mourn his loss.

  17. If it wasn't for a tip from his brother, the FBI probably would have never solved the case. 🤷

  18. For all the people giving him credit on his manifesto, should focus on the fact that he was a psychopath and deserved to be where he was, and to be dead. Even a broken clock is right twice every day.

  19. Did he, too, have evidence that would finally convict Hillary Clinton?

  20. see 'Jesus & the Unabomber' for insight.

  21. Why is this comment section a unabomber fan meetup 💀

  22. Looking back, he was right about many things. Well ahead of his time

  23. R.I.P ❤. I hope this tortured soul finds peace.

  24. Man I hope he repented and got right with Jesus Christ. We all need to repent & live life pleasing to Christ. GOD bless

  25. Toxic comments at the bottom
    Praising a loser.👇
    Don't scroll down.

  26. i wonder where that mailbox is now…

  27. are you the UNABOMBER? like why ask that I never understand why reporters ask dumb questions

  28. 1:54 nice to see the police department still using OJ Simpsons white Bronco that they confiscated back in 1994 👍🏻

  29. He was a liberal democrat who wrote alot about how tech is terrible and global warming is happening. He wrote alot about how driving oil prices up will help convert people to batteries and electric cars too. But noone likes to share that because its true.

  30. Not going to give any details about his death? Ya know, the subject of the piece?

  31. Cool…….That means a cell is opened for Trump.

  32. Twisted genius the report says….ha. he made family's suffer! What is IGNORANT is calling him a genius

  33. No, he didn't do "it" the "right" way, but the message in the manifesto is spot on. Have you read the other 2 books he has written? Please head his warnings. It's said that the line between genius and madness is as thin as a razors edge. He crossed over.

  34. He was right. And amazing how people who are right lose there minds. It is maddening, living in a lunatic world and you realize what wrong, how else does one create awarness or be heard without using violence or manipulation (like the US gov). In a world full of crazies, the ones that are sane are considered crazy.

  35. I don't believe these comments! Everybody seems to be praising the opinions of a murdering psychopath.

  36. His brother didn't recognize his thinking. He recognized his writing style. Do your research.

  37. Well, the FBI has been manifestly corrupt and incompetent for over 20 years. This case makes the case that it's been incompetent for 30 years.

  38. the us goverment killed him while the goverment is trying to cover the whole sunlight with just one finger

  39. KARMA NEVER LOSES AN ADDRESS!. #FACTS
