What a world we're living in, where it comes as a relief to learn that this was the work of a mere madman, rather than a terrorist attack by a crazy from the left, or right, or a messenger of Allah

Wasn’t me! — this time.

Update: Palm Springs Bomber Identified, Identifies As 'Pro-Mortalist'

“According to a 30-minute audiotape he left behind, Bartkus was a “pro-mortalist,” which is a bizarre philosophy that, among other things, decries the fact that we didn’t give our consent to be born.

Bartkus explained in his twisted recording that he’s “angry” that he even exists. He also tried to videotape the attack:”

“I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I’ve decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic,” he said at the beginning of the recording. “Basically, it just comes down to I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here.”

Describing himself as anti-life, he adds: “I’m very against [IVF], it’s extremely wrong. These are people who are having kids after they’ve sat there and thought about it. How much more stupid can it get?”

Bartkus also set up a tripod with a camera in an effort to film his attack, but the file failed to upload to his website.

“His demented website can be found here, according to some reports, and on it he describes some disturbing actions:”

In a FAQ section of his website, he further explains that his best friend Sophie recently died after convincing her boyfriend to shoot her while she slept. “IIRC we had agreed that if one of us died, the other would probably soon follow,” Bartkus wrote.

His description seemed to match the death of 27-year-old Sophie Tinney in Fox Island, Washington on April 22. Police arrested her boyfriend, 29-year-old Lars Eugene Nelson, and believe Tinney convinced Nelson to shoot her in the head as she slept. Nelson was charged with second-degree murder.

The good news: he’s no longer in a position to complain.

Bartkus is believed to be the only person who was killed in Saturday’s bombing at American Reproductive Centers, though officials have yet to formally identify his remains.
