An investigation is under way in Costa Mesa following a house explosion that killed a 52-year-old man and forced neighbors to evacuate Sunday.

* * *
Authorities said the man was not fond of government agencies or law enforcement. No other information was released but neighbors say officers were often called to the home.

Neighbors said the man kept to himself and seemed strange but they had no idea there were explosives inside his home.

"It's really creepy having them pull out all of these explosives when you never really knew that that was there," Genovesio said.

It is really scary that this anti-government and law enforcement lunatic had several other IEDs in his house. I guess we are fortunate that he only hurt himself and not others with all these explosives that he built.

1. It is sad

Crazy people and bombs. This was just the start if a horrible week.

2. His house, his bombs? Glad he took only himself out but dayum.

3. B-1 Bob Dorner country

I had management from Orange County.
The company had connections in Congress so it survived as a parasite to America.

4. Yes, thankfully he didn't harm others. I cannot imagine living

with such rage. People like this man apparently don't have anything positive in their lives and they are just consumed by anger and hate.

Sad.

5. Darwin award!

6. So many lethal means lying loose in this country, like a war zone. Full circle.

7. So can we start shifting resources now?

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]For example, take those pot-sniffing dogs and their handlers back to school, and retrain them to respond to explosives instead of cannabis.

Doesn't that make sense?

11. Sure it does.

But there's no profit motive. Far more people do drugs than make bombs, and there's money to be made in the Prison Industrial Complex.

A sane country, or one that doesn't allow its corporations to dictate policy, would have already been doing as you suggest (as you can see in many of the northern-European countries.)

12. Sad, isn't it?

[kentauros]

14. Yeah, it is.

Greed is a mental health issue, but I don't know what we can do to treat and/or cure it...

[silverweb]

15. I don't know, either.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I guess we have to collectively evolve a lot more. Or something.

All I can do is keep trying to follow in the footsteps of the masters, i.e., "be the change," and hope a lot more other people do, too.

20. Walk the walk.

"be the change," and hope a lot more other people do, too.

8. That's not far from where I live in Huntington Beach

Orange County has its share of right wing nuts.

9. Holy fuckin' shit.....you gotta be kidding me.

Thanks for keeping us informed, Tom.

10. Good grief. I was out that way just a few weeks ago.

Two miles away, a little less, in fact. That's right off the 405.

It is creepy, not knowing who is doing what in the next house or the next neighborhood.

13. No word yet from the National Bomb Association on whether or not he was a member

And I'm not holding my breath waiting for an announcement.

16. Link to his online essay, or what-have-you...

I found the link to his essay.

It seems he was laying outside on his lawn and neighbors called for an ambulance. He turned down treatment, went back inside, and 2 hours later blew himself up.

17. doesn't sound anything like bi-polar to me.

please refrain from amateur psyche dx. it is hurtful to the many members struggling with conditions like bp to have people equate someone like this with their condition.

[fizzgig]

18. yes, please drop the amature dx schtick

playing armchair psych is hurtful to those of us who do have a diagnosis. how on earth can you diagnose someone just based on their writing, anyway?

[lexw]

21. Sorry. I am not the type to insult. My mistake.

I'll be sure not to do that again.
But, there are the links.

22. Wow. He had a thing about the CIA. n/t
