FBI arrests suspect in 2021 D.C. pipe bomb case, sources say

There are many variations of Autism.

IMO -- they should all be in counseling/therapy from an early age to understand themselves better.

Quote where I said otherwise?

In the mean while, he is evidently able to be left alone, purchase things.  Find places and make his why home.

Funny he gets caught and all the sudden his “Autism” is a problem.

The only thing that matters is progress was made in the case and it took the Biden administration being out of office.  Where the evidence used was accessible to and left from the Biden administration.

I'm just speculating here as I know nothing about the variations of Autism. I'm just trying to put two and two together from what the suspect's family is claiming about him.

"While autism will look different from person to person, it’s true that many autistic people have very specific fixations. When it comes to certain subjects or ideas, autistic people can become hyperfocused and completely absorbed in whatever it is that interests them, often to the point that it is hard to draw them away from it. Because this focus can be so intense, some people may colloquially refer to it as an “obsession.”"

"These fixations (which have previously been referred to as “special interests”) are subjects, activities, and topics that autistic people are excited about and like to spend a lot of time thinking about or working on. By definition, they do not cause distress. In fact, they are often a source of happiness and self-regulation. Autistic people are only likely to get upset in relation to their fixations if they are interrupted or prevented from doing things related to their interests, or if someone else dismisses them. So when it comes to autistics and the fixations that they have, the term “obsession” is not actually appropriate at all, despite the casual use of the word."

I'm just speculating m

 No.  You are trying to flack another thread.

The important thing is the guy was caught.  Now the question is why the Biden administration sat on the evidence and didn’t act.

YES - absolutely.

Fortunately - my kid's fixation is a positive one -- vintage VHS tapes of a specific genre.

But we've been through the gambit in counseling/therapy -- including suicide and gender questioning.  

He's been in counseling/therapy since age 4.

They think differently.

Which has what to do with evidence pointing to a guy able to carry out placing supposed pipe bombs near a republican and democrat office where the Biden administration didn’t take action on evidence that lead to an arrest.

This is how they muddy the waters for the real evidence. Spread false theories and evidence so people dont know what to trust anymore and dismiss everything else.

I wasnt aware he was a content creator or a 1/6er, or I would have been more discriminating.

But, thats been the M.O. since COVID, people blast out BS and propaganda for content for clicks, just ran across it and posted here before I found out he often posts BS.

REGARDLESS, I routinely post from wherever X.com, Reddit, Discord, etc. to DI for vetting, and to discuss topics here in a low traffic semi-controlled environment instead of being awash in the sea of humanity and bots elsewhere 


The quote went from hundreds of millions of potential viewers of X.com members to a few hundred more on Deny Ignorance.

Im thinking the additional negative impact was negligible.

That's the bottom line.
He is caught.
Biden admin sat on the info and did nothing.

As for the alleged autism thing.  It's a red herring.   Some described him as 'autistic like' which is very different than someone who actually has it.   And even if he actually has it that is not an excuse for his behavior.   

AI GOOGLE ASSIST - Brian Cole Jr., the man arrested in connection with the January 6 pipe bombs, has been described by family and neighbors as "autistic-like," but there has been no official, confirmed diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) released in court documents or by authorities.

Where did we learn he may be autistic?

It was in the news associated with this case. 

You are not privy to what was done under the Biden administration.

Yes, the hyperfixation could be one explanation, that is, if we ever get the truth from the government. I'm expecting the truth to not be forthcoming, just like they didn't release which political affiliation played a role (which they do with every other type of arrest like this only if they are democrat leaning or LGBTQ - very telling).

Additionally, he had no past criminal record, family and neighbors describe him as quiet and avoiding glances/interactions etc. So it's not enough to just arrest him but there is a duty to investigate as to the conditions or motivations that drives someone like him to do what he has done to find ways to diminish or stop these types of acts in the future.

There were some shooters that had autism. I said it was possible these people were easy to manipulate and groom and were possibly set up to do these things. I know at least one autistic person that the FBI had strung along  to perform a terror attack. He was never in danger of carrying it out but they took credit for stopping him. 
    Then there were the two brothers who did the Boston marathon bombing who were on the FBI's radar but carried it out anyway. I guess we'll find out if this kid was in contact with others, or we won't.
