"I frequently had dreams of killing the sort of individuals I despised — i.e., government authorities, police, PC researchers, the rambunctious kind of undergrads who left their lager jars in the arboretum, and so on., etc., etc.,″ he penned.
Kaczynski killed Gilbert Murray, a lobbyist for the timber industry, advertising executive Thomas Mosser, and owner of a computer rental store, Hugh Scrutton. In June 1993, bombs injured California geneticist Charles Epstein and Yale University computer expert David Gelernter two days apart.
