A few more details are dribbling out about the alleged Plano gas pipeline bomber.

Among the most interesting:

1. “Neighbors also said the son who lives there is often out and about and doesn’t seem to hold down a job.”
2. “They said he typically carried a backpack with him.”
3. “One neighbor told News 8 the son seemed to change over the last couple of years. He said his neighbor started running at night, saying he ‘was in training.’ That same neighbor said the young man lived a minimalistic life, saying he was against modern technology, but would then talk about spending hours on his computer.”

No job, backpack, hates technology. Let’s see: Who does that description fit?

Is it too soon to guess at an Occupy Wall Street connection? Probably. There’s only a few shreds of evidence. And yet, want to guess what the most recent concern on the Occupy Dallas website was?

Would you believe “Protecting our Community from Gas Drilling”? Indeed it seems to be a continuing concern.

Certainly other Occupy [Place Name Here] factions have been indicted in bomb plots. And as for the bomb detonating prematurely and injuring the bomb maker, well, let’s just say that such incidents are hardly unknown among the radical left.

This is all very speculative and tentative, and the bomber could still be a lone nut. But at least the Occupy Dallas connection would explain the bomber’s motivation.
