Guy Edward Bartkus is the sole suspect in the bomb attack at a Palm Springs fertility clinic last Saturday. In the years leading up to the incident, his life was touched by family acrimony and a keen interest in explosives.

Imagine my surprise reading this on the LA Times this morning (emphasis mine):

“I would not acknowledge reproduction as a human right, but instead as a form ofremoved,” IndictEvolution wrote on Lemmy.World in July 2023. “I am also not bothered by infanticide as long as it is done humanely…”

Here is an archive of the article.

Here is his account.

It looks like he only stayed on Lemmy for about a month, most likely a temporary Reddit exile with the earliest exodus on June 2023. The article mentions threads on Reddit but doesn’t provide any quotes from there. User IndictEvolution on Reddit deleted their account, and the article makes it sound like they are referring to a different username that they don’t specify.

      My middle school became a prison after Columbine

      I got accused of wearing gang colors because I had a pair of yellow and black sneakers

      They said it was Latin Kings, but it just reminded me of Bumblebee from Transformers!

        Being one of the resident nerds taking college classes in highschool, I was threatened with arrest for bringing my book bag full of very expensive books to school.

          Look at this braggart with their book bag!/s

          (My school banned book bags from middle school onward due to security concerns. It sucked so much having to hold on to 3+ textbooks in my arms for my hour+ bus rides. My arms were buff for a middle schooler.

        My friend’s house got raided because some popular girls thought he was weird and was going to shoot up the school… for no apparent reason at all.

        The cops tore his house to shit and gave his dad the nth degree about having a bag of lawn fertilizer in the garage.

        That shit was so fucked up.
