Just a Whim, I Guess

The most recent news regarding the bank that was bombed in Oregon, killing two police officers, which I mentioned initially under the heading Harbinger?, and then updated here, only provides us with the information that a father and son, Bruce Turnidge (father) and Joshua Turnidge, have been arrested and charged with “murder, attempted murder, assault and the manufacture and possession of a destructive device.”  Hardly earth shattering news.

What is interesting, about this incident, is that Courtland Geyer, the deputy district attorney in Marion County who has filed the charges, provides no information as to motive, because he either has no clue, which is entirely possible, or the “authorities” have charged the wrong men, also entirely possible.

Geyer declined to reveal what authorities think motivated the men to allegedly build a bomb and place it outside a branch of West Coast Bank. Documents released Tuesday as part of Joshua Turnidge’s arraignment described what happened, but not why.

Just a whim, I guess, if indeed the father/son duo are actually guilty of the charges as filed.
