The Unabomber Case: Ted Kaczynski

Improved Essays
In the case of the Unabomber, a person sent bombs to universities, airlines, and other people’s homes. The bombs were in the form of a box. The box would then be delivered to their destinations. When the boxes were opened, the bombs would go off and kill the person that opened it. Due to the unique execution of the Unabomber’s crimes, the Unabomber case is my favorite case, after the case that I researched. The suspect in the Unabomber case was a man named Ted Kaczynski. Kaczynski was an “eco-terrorist”. The supposed reason for his bombing was to fight industrialization. However, I find it strange that his reason for bombing the earth was to fight industrialization because it destroys the environment. But, this is hypocritical seeing as bombing

    Adam Torres had already served nearly ten months in confinement prior to receiving his final sentence, therefore he only had two more months of his prison term remaining after the court had made its decision (Jackman 2016). This perceived injustice sent ripples through the Northern Virginia community. In fact Don Geer, the father of the victim, stated that, “Nothing about this [case] has been done in a timely manner. It’s been a long time for everything to take place” (WTOP Staff, 2016). He later added that he did not personally feel as though justice had been served.…

    The Oklahoma City Bombing is about how one man felt he could take revenge and retribution upon himself and in doing so called attention to the very things he was opposed to. Instead of viewing this as the act of terrorism it was, Timothy Mcveigh argued that it was no different than the repercussions that the United States would bring to other countries if they had done an attack similar to this.…

    Everyday life seems normal but in the mind of an ill person, it is a whole different story. When people think of getting revenge, they do not think of what will happen in the long run. A variety of thoughts come to a person’s mind when they are angry. They think of the worst, possible things that they could do and they do it. Usually people who commit the most violent crimes, like murder and assault, have something wrong with their psychology.…

    When thinking of terrorism, the first person that probably comes to mind is Osama Bin Laden. He was the leader of a terrorist group Al-Qaeda, who caused the deaths of many innocent people, including 3,000 Americans. His extreme hatred towards Western society cause him to commit these horrible crimes, which got him on the FBI’s most wanted list. Bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011 by US forces at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Even though he contributed to Saudi Arabia’s economy, his assassination was justified because he led the terrorist group Al-Qaeda, and declared war on all Americans.…

    “Bad things will happen, and I have learned to accept that, but if bad things didn’t happen to us, if we didn’t have those moments of weakness, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the good nearly as much,” said Rebecca Denny in 2011 (Truesdell). On April 19, 1995, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed by Anti-Government militant Timothy McVeigh and Co-Conspirator Terry Nichols. The Oklahoma City Bombing was known as the most threatening terrorist attacks to happen in the United States until six years later in 2001 when 9/11 took place in New York City, New York. One of the earliest bombings in the United States was on October 10, 1910 when two brothers bombed the Los Angeles Times building. Twenty-one people were killed and more than one hundred were injured.…

    How the Past Lives in the Present Transformative events can potentially impact and change one’s life indefinitely. On September 11, 2001, the United States of America encountered a life-changing occurrence which resulted in lasting effects on the lives of its citizens: a terrorist attack. The term “terrorist attack” remained weak to America until its direct contact with the nation occurred.

    I believe that Conniff and Kaczynski would partially agree with each other; however would lose their common ground when it came to the topic of putting technology below human values and lives. Kaczynski obviously was not concerned with human lives or values when he set those bombs in the mail as a defiance against technology users. He did not care who got hurt in the process, he just wanted to display his message and cause.…

    Just wanted to ask the question if you meant to have the mid term allow multiple attempts? Also the T/F question about whether John Brown was considered America's first terrorist had 0 out of 0 points so there may be something wrong with that question. Then one other question was pretty odd at least in my opinion. The last question about what did the FBI designate the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski as and the options allowed for more than one answer. I couldn't find anywhere where the FBI actually designated him as anything, although there is mention of him being a near genius level mathematician.…

    Lastly, debunker trolls are those who expose the truth behind a theory or belief. One of the most famous situations for a debunker are the 9/11 conspiracies and showing the brutality of one of the most treacherous days for the United States. With the plethora of 9/11 conspiracies such as George Bush being the reason for having the twin towers attacked because he didn't want to listen or deal with the Taliban. Another conspiracy idea is that there were bombs already placed inside the towers and when the first plane hit, it was actually a bomb inside that created a bigger and more severe explosion. Debunkers spend days, months, and years to uncover the truth behind important matters.…
