    He murdered a ton of innocent people.

    He killed 3 people. The first was an innocent grad student. The second worked for a major corporation and was killed because he “helped Exxon clean up its public image after the Exxon Valdez incident [in 1989].” The third worked for the California Forestry Association and was not the intended target.

    So he murdered 2 innocent people; I think it’s arguable whether a person complicit in crimes against the environment and humanity can be framed as innocent.

    He injured another 23 people, one of whom was in the Epstein emails. He wasn’t actually a particularly lethal bomber, he just really scared people because no one really knew why they were being targeted, which made it feel like anyone could be the next target.

    I wouldn’t endorse his actions or even his targets, but it wasn’t just that he said “some stuff that was kinda almost true”. He targeted evil people in positions of power… sometimes. Usually he targeted people who were totally innocent, and worse, he knew that’s what he was doing (in most cases).

      Interestingly enough, he was a subject of what was a conspiracy that was eventually proven true; MKultra

        Oh yeah, absolutely. And if he bombed the people who experimented on him, I’d say, “Fuck yeah, you go Ted.” But that’s unfortunately not what he did, or at least, not in most cases.
