It looks like Mark Conditt (Austin Bomber) was at one point possibly a Freeper.

This was on the local news.

This is an old blog of his from when he was in community college and he did ithis as a part of a school project. This was back in 2012 when he would have been about 18 years old.

I did notice he lists Free Republic on his blog list.

I grabbed a few posts, but there's more at the link.

Why gay marriage should be illegal
In response to Ms. Sweet's post about why gay marriage should be legal.

There are a couple things wrong with your argument that I would like to correct. First, falling in love is a choice. When you "fall in love" you become infatuated with your significant other, and you will eventually fall out of love.

Second, yes, the government shouldn't tell them whom they can and cannot marry, but we shouldn't even have this problem! Homosexuality is not natural. Just look at the male and female bodies. They are obviously designed to couple. The natural design is apparent. It is not natural to couple male with male and female with female. It would be like trying to fit two screws together and to nuts together and then say, "See, it’s natural for them to go together."

In addition, political protection of a sexual practice is ludicrous. I do not believe it is proper to pass laws stating that homosexuals have 'rights.' What about pedophilia or bestiality? These are sexual practices. Should they also be protected by law? If homosexuality is protected by law, why not those as well?

My view on free abortions
In her post on contraception, Juliana Solitro make the argument that all women should be given "preventative medicine", a.k.a.: abortions, free of charge, regardless of their walk in life. I disagree.

First, if a women does not want a baby, or is incapable of taking care of one, she should not participate in activities that were made for that reason.

Second, if we are going to give women free abortions, why not give men free condoms, or the like? Is it not up to the couple to take these preventive measures?

This is just my view on the subject, but if you can't provide for a child, then don't have sex.

An argument for the Death Penalty
Evaluate the author’s intended audience, the author’s credibility,

On March 1st, 2012, Mr. Tod Robberson, a editorial writer for the Dallas Morning News, wrote a editorial about how George Rivas makes the best case not ,to have the death penalty.

I don't agree with Mr. Robberson. He bases his claim on the fact that Rivas welcomed execution and calling it "freedom". Robberson makes the argument that giving Rivas the life-sentence would be worse than killing him had been. Once again, I disagree.

First, the whole premise that Rivas welcomed death is outright wrong. If he had wanted or wished for death, he would have just shot himself, like his fellow Texas 7 escapee, Larry Harper, who committed suicide, rather than be captured and re-incarcerated. Instead, for 11 years he chose life by surrendering, instead. He fought against death during his trial. He fought against death with his appeals and asked to have his sentence commuted from death to life. None of these are the actions of a person willing to chose death/freedom over life.

Second, Living criminals harm and murder, again - executed ones do not. Rivas was a known murderer, and had escaped prison once. If he had gotten life without parole, he could have escaped again.

Thirdly, Mr. Robberson credentials don't support the fact that he is an expert on this topic. He's a former foreign correspondent with 25 years' experience covering Latin America, the Middle East and Europe - not a death penalty expert.

And lastly, Robberson's audience is used to him writing about drug trafficking, border issues, immigration and international affairs; not about a domestic issue like the death penalty.

Tod Robberson does a good job at making a argument against the death penalty without arguing that it's inhumane. But he needed to do some homework

1. I think in the coming days we will learn he was a freeper and then some

Just based on what we know so far the picture of a wingnut domestic terrorist is emerging. There’s little doubt that some are behind his radicalization and freeperland is a magnet for that sort of nutbaggery.
