An individual claiming to the be ‘the NY bomber’ announced on a Tumblr blog that they had bombed Manhattan Saturday in response to ‘LGBTQ+ oppression’ and that more bombs would follow according to the Daily Mail.
The now deleted Tumblr account says that LGBTQ people are more likely to commit suicide, but that ‘nobody cares’ – so the self-styled bomber is now ‘lashing out’.

An earlier post, titled ‘Manufacturing Test Explosives,’ said the Chelsea bombs were ‘just some tests,’ adding ‘I will not make the same mistake next time.’
‘I did it because I cannot stand society,’ the writer claimed. ‘I cannot live in a world where homosexuals like myself as well as the rest of the LGBTQ+ community are looked down upon by society.’
The writer said they would ‘not stand by while under classed and underprivileged people are oppressed,’ or while ‘racism (is displayed by) white police officers all over the country.
‘I am not going to live in a country where it is OK to have a misogynist, xenophobic, racist Islamophobic, republican candidate running for President of The United States!’
The writer also decried ‘all Republicans’ as being ‘cisgendered privileged white people.’
Shortly after the explosion occurred, an unnamed male called 911 and said: ‘I’m looking at the explosion down the block. There will be more.’
If this manifesto happens to be legitimate, the location of the bomb is odd considering the Chelsea area has one of the highest concentrations of homosexuals in all of New York City. The Huffington Post has stated that approximately 22% live in the area.

Taking a human life
I don’t know exactly how I feel about taking human lives.
However, what I do know is that If I don’t do what needs to be done nobody will pay attention. LGBTQ+ people are much more likely to commit suicide than straight cisgendered people.
It seems that nobody cares, however what if people from the LGBTQ+ community started lashing out in response to the violence and oppression we face with violence and possibly oppression?
I’m sure that would give people a reason to not stand by while so many people are being oppressed. I suppose I’m just going to have to move forward knowing that what I am doing had a purpose and will in fact make a difference. I’ll keep you all posted.
Manufacturing Test Explosives
Hi. You probably have all seen the news by now, the explosives detonated in New York City, that was me. Those were just some tests, I know where I have made errors and I will not make the same mistake next time.
I did it because I cannot stand society. I cannot live in a world where homosexuals like myself as well as the rest of the LGBTQ+ community are looked down upon by society.
It is 2016 and we are still being viewed as mentally ill, sinners, attention seekers, and just plain weirdos in general. I am not going to stand by while under classed and underprivileged people are oppressed.
I am not going to stand by while there is inequality in my country such as the racism being seen in white police officers all over the country.
I am not going to live in a country where it is OK to have a misogynist, xenophobic, racist Islamophobic, republican candidate running for President of The United States!
That’s implying that republicans in general should even be taken seriously as they are all cisgendered privileged white people.
This is not the end, this is just the beginning. I will be remembered. I will make a difference. I will eliminate my targets before it is too late.
