FBI says suspect in California blast targeted fertility clinic

[Emile]

The man accused of setting off a car blast outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, is said to be a 25-year-old with "nihilistic ideations".

Guy Edward Bartkus, who is thought to have died in the blast, left behind writings which suggest he disapproved of people being brought into the world against their will, law enforcement sources told CBS News.

He detonated explosives outside the clinic on Saturday morning and tried to livestream the attack, said investigators.

Four other people were injured in the explosion and have been released from hospital. None of the wounded are staff or patients at the clinic.

1. "Guy Edward Bartkus...disapproved of people being brought into the world against their will..."

How else are people brought into this world? Bartkus appears to be a very confused young man. I suspect there's a religious motivation behind this.

2. Less likely religious...more likely misunderstood philosophy

Sounds like a twisted take on traditional nihilism or absurdist philosophy.

My younger son did Lincoln Douglass debating and these kinds of philosophy come up all the time there.

A little knowledge combined with depression are very dangerous things.

Sometimes it just that simple.
