Nobody is ignoring it. It's understood that he was a very flawed person. That shouldn't blind you to his thinking.
Capt. Obvious MUST fulfill his destiny and point out the obvious.
It’s his sole purpose.
Let's point out the obvious: Ted Kaczynski was crazy. He killed others, who were essentially innocent, to emphasize his point.
And jimb LIVES on CC to point out that I provide profound contributions and perspicacious comments; jimb contributes insults. I help lead a clan on CC; jimb leads a lonely life wallowing in self-made misery. btw CFC jimb, I am a Major, at least at the moment.
And don;t read further, jimb, or your head will explode, again.
Theodore J. Kaczynski, the so-called Unabomber, who attacked academics, businessmen and random civilians with homemade bombs from 1978 to 1995, killing three people and injuring 23 with the stated goal of fomenting the collapse of the modern social order — a violent spree that ended after what was often described as the longest and most costly manhunt in American history — died on Saturday in a federal prison medical center in Butner, N.C. He was 81.
A spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons said Mr. Kaczynski was found unresponsive in his cell early in the morning. The bureau did not specify a cause, but three people familiar with the situation said he died by suicide.
The bureau had announced his transfer to the medical facility in 2021.
Mr. Kaczynski traced a singular path in American life: lonely boy genius to Harvard-trained star of pure mathematics, to rural recluse, to notorious murderer, to imprisoned extremist.
In the public eye, he fused two styles of violence: the periodic targeting of the demented serial killer, and the ideological fanaticism of the terrorist.
