Vacancy for Biden Crime Family member - Unabomber Ted Kaczynski found dead in prison cell
2023-06-11
[ABC] Ted Kaczynski, the convicted terrorist known as the Unabomber, was found dead in his prison cell early Saturday, according to a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson. He was 81.

Kaczynski was found unresponsive in his cell around 12:30 a.m. ET and transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Kaczynski was previously in a maximum security facility in Colorado but was moved to a federal medical center in Butner, North Carolina, in December 2021 due to poor health.

Kaczynski, who went nearly 20 years without being captured until his arrest in 1996, was considered America's most prolific bomber.

#4  Saw a comment somewhere to the effect of "He was sent from living in a 3x5 foot cabin in the woods to a 5x8 foot cell. We sure showed him."

It was the public publishing of his manifesto that resulted in his brother and mother recognizing it may be him that lead to his arrest and reporting it. The 'authorities' were against that publication.

#2  Ted is the type of guy the feds fear most: crazy smart and targeting people who he feels cause his problems. The last thing politicians want is for crazy smart people to bypass innocent people and go straight to the source.

A POS, no doubt, but there are probably some real winners in Chicago or Baltimore who do more damage on a weekend than he did over all those years.

More stellar work by the FBI.
