New defense filings in the case of admitted serial bomber Cesar Sayoc paint a grim picture of a man who"lost everything in the Great Recession," had"cognitive limitations and severe learning disabilities" and was"abandoned by his father and sexually abused by a teacher at his Catholic school.
Sayoc would eventually construct and send through the mail 16 improvised explosive devices that his lawyers say in his mind were hoax devices to"try to intimidate and scare Trump’s perceived enemies." The defense filing draws a thread through Sayoc's"religious" viewing of Fox News programs like"Fox and Friends" and"Hannity," to his following of Trump supporters on social media and his connection to hundreds of right-wing Facebook groups, many of which"promoted various conspiracy theories, and more generally, the idea that Trump’s critics were dangerous, unpatriotic, and evil.
But prosecutors have countered the blaming of Trump and claims of dud devices. The government’s sentencing memo calls for a sentence of life in prison for sending the 16 improvised explosive devices to 13 victims around the country. Though they acknowledge that the"IEDs would not have functioned as designed," prosecutors say, as a legal matter, that the devices meet the requirement that the"bomb be capable of exploding and intended to be used as a weapon."

Why is he even identified as a Mail Bomber. Funny, a senator went out of his way to inject a false filthy dossier into the DOJ and FBI as facts to harm a president and still got a hero’s funeral.
Anyone can claim 'mental illness' as a reason for dastardly deeds. The problem is too many courts are accepting this and setting criminals free.
So, just another Trumpster?
That's because of Trumps lies and rhetoric and now people that support him are all screwed up in the head. Trump will never admit he causes the hatred among the people.
Sayoc is just a member of Trump’s cult; he will realize that he is not being rewarded for following his master. Perhaps Trump will send him pictures or love letters from the WH while Trump finds another gullible person who will commit crimes for him.
The Virginia Attorney General concluded Hodgkinson's attack was 'an act of terrorism, fueled by rage against Republican legislators' Hodgkinson had participated in the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign during the 2016 United States presidential election' you were sayin'
Anything on nyc police being attacked?
Gee where would this mentally ill man ever get ideas like that? Hmm let me think
He has mental issues. Fox news and Trump feed the paranoia for people like him.
And twitter will continue to allow Trump to post anything he wants.
The media made has an affect on people, sometimes unstable people
Lock him up
not surprisingly, his sister also said he was of low intelligence, which would explain why he was so receptive to the maga nonsense. it's all fun & games until one of these lunatics kills somebody again.
Charlottesville. Tree of Life. It’s no coincidence that a surge in extreme right-wing violence has grown alongside the rise of conservative populism. This is the true cost of a lying, amoral presidency. All MAGA supporters should answer for these attacks.
Meatball

realDonaldTrump your fault
nut job like all trump supporters
They are whole lot of em out there.
Yeah he sent envelopes with cables in them, that hurt no one. Very chilling. But when a Bernie fan raids a baseball field and shoots Trump's congressmen, you don't find it chilling at all.
Oh is the the FakeBombHoax guy? None exploded, none were built to explode, they were 'mailed' lol 🙄 what a joke. Obvious plant. Just more FakeNews
Trump’s goal - plant hatred and fear - divide America and Americans - incite violence - blame others - seize power - repeat
