      One case mentioned further up is David Gelernter, who survived with permanent injuries and shows up in the Epstein files to the point of it now ending his career.

      This is however well after the attacks, the Unabomber predates the timespan we have significant information about. Given the wiki entry of that David Gelernter, I wouldn’t be surprised if he shows up in some analog Epstein documents we don’t yet know about.

      I checked another random victim and found no info at all at a glance though, so I’m not convinced on the unabomber picking targets based on this, which seems like what some others here are claiming. Could just be a by-chance hit. If you bomb people you dislike I suppose you’ll have an increased chance of targetting pedos by intuition.

        Interesting. I can’t say I’m surprised he got someone who appeared on the list, but it just being by chance tracks

          Pretty sure that was the joke - a guy randomly trying to kill people did more to punish members of a pedophile ring by complete happenstance than the governmental body whose job it’s meant to be to do so.
