So an RV truck pulls into the bar district in Nashville. Load speakers on the RV start announcing a warning to evacuate the area and a countdown commences from the RV.

"Please vacate the area. You have 15 minutes. You have 14 minutes--" etc etc.

Bomb goes off and the explosion is heard for miles-- literally miles. Windows shatter over a mile away.

This is a big fvcking bomb.

So why?

It goes off at 6:30am Xmas morning. Nobody is at the bars. It gave a warning to get away. It meant to harm nobody.

So the bomber wants us to know that--
1. He or she is capable of building a big ass bomb. They are technically proficient. They are smart.

2. The bomber wanted us to know that he/she did not want to cause any casualties. They want us to know that if they so desired, they could have massacred thousands. But they are merciful bombers. They are humane.

This has the feeling of being a warning. But a warning of what? And why? You build a huge mobile bomb and blow it up and warn people and do it at a place and time where you know there will be no casualties. What are we being warned about?

My guess is they want to create fear and hysteria that this can happen again but anywhere, similar to the zodiac killer.
 
They are informing us that they have great resources. They not only have the expertiese to build a big assed bomb, they dont mind sacrificing an RV to do it.They are saying....this is what we can do, so pay serious attention to us when we announce WTF we want everyone to do....or else.


I suspect we will learn the what and how much before the end of next week.
 
Wasn't that big. The OKC bomb took out half the building. This was small by comparison. That said I agree with all of the above. Clearly a warning. The real trick is this guy not getting caught. They will have all kinds of video and forensic evidence.

My guess is the person(s) are not that smart...they just set themselves up to be caught. The video, RV, and forensic evidence will seal their fate. If not, then I would agree they are serious players in terrorism.

They have to have some level of sophistication to pull it off to begin with but they had to know that once the vehicle is identified, every possible evidence to track where it came from will be used. I'm interested to see just how well the bomber covered their tracks.

My hope is that it’s truly some lone wolf, attention seeking, dumb ass with bombing-making know how, rather than a syndicate or group attempting to send a message (whatever that message is). If it’s the latter, I don’t trust the govt to be upfront with the facts.

Let's do the math here--

Since Ramzi Yousef set off that first. Bomb at the Trade Center in 1993, the Feds and the DOD have been cataloguing every IED they disarm. They look for signatures inside the bomb like the trigger mechanism or munition, and when then they compare this bomb makers methods to that bomb makers methods-- and you can actually see which bomb makers taught others how to build a bomb. It's like using your mom's chicken soup recipe-- you learn from what you see. We have been able to identify men that Yousef taught to make bombs (he's admitted to that) as well as men that were taught by those men, and so on and so forth. It's a trade, a craft of sorts-- and everyone goes about it a little differently.
With the Iraq invasion and war in Afghanistan, DOD used EOD and the Feds to REALLY compile a massive list of bomb making details. The list just exploded in numbers and the methodologies expanded. As we captured these bomb makers in Iraq and Syria and Yemen and some as far away as Sudan-- we have become quite the experts at identifying bomb signatures.

If this guy is smart enough to build a stable compound bomb and confident enough in his abilities to mobilize it-- he's likely VERY highly trained. Nobody hops in a truck with their first constructed bomb and goes "fvck it, I think I'll drive this bad boy round town and risk getting in a wreck and blowing my ass up..."---- that ain't how it happens. This guy has built bombs before. And if he has, and he's been trained--- then he knows exactly the same things I just said.
He knows there's a massive data base regarding bomb signatures. He knows that DOD and the Feds are going to comb through every inch of that bomb and reconstruct it--- right down to the 1998 Fourwinds Chateau Class C motorhome he delivered it in.

So he's shown his hand. And the clock is running. Obviously setting off a bomb is meant to cause fear and hysteria-- but there's easier ways of going about scaring people than building a massive bomb that is going to forensically lead people right back to you.
He's got to have tons of knowledge-- but not very common sense smart.

He/she doesn’t have to detonate a second bomb to create fear, that’s already been done.

Anti-capitalism? Anti-lockdown?
 
It’s possible the unabomber got a little tail up there in that cabin and this is his demented offspring

Anti-police? Were the “shots fired” calls just before the bomb went off designed to bring police into the area for an ambush?

But then why warn them with a loudspeaker. I think the shots MAY have been part of the recording to grab people's attention.

Has there ever been a woman bomber?

Most suicide bombers in youpickastan were either woman or men dressed as women because the chadaree/burqa conceals so well.

This was likely done by a vet that felt backed into a corner and powerless. Many of us feel the constitution is under attack, because it is..., and our gov is dancing on the tyrannical line. Votes don't matter, atf disarming 2A, oath breathing LEOs enforcing unconstitutional decrees, news outlets censoring on par with China, and all these bullshit covid rules for thee but not for me "elites" raking in millions while fighting whether we deserve $600 for 8months of lost wages and business closures.

The list of motifs is long but the fact is this was meant to be a message without casualty of life. The message is simple. We played by the rules but got cheated, we complied with shutdowns but we all now know they don't work, we complied with masks even though the major Denmark study was covered up, we waited 8 months for relief then saw you approve billions for other nations special interests, we are done being afraid and ready to live again. The sleepy bear is awake and tired of being kicked.

This was a warning. The anitifa and blm riots ain't got nothing on americans defending the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Especially, tyrannical government.

Or....this could have been a basement dwelling kid that's seen too many action movies.

If this is something other than a punk ass, attention seeking Lone Ranger, I know whose side I’m on and want to be on. Antifa/BLM punks ain’t got shit on true Patriots when civil liberties and the Constitution are at stake.

I tend to think this person(s) is much closer to the latter than the former, in reality. In their mind (not reality), they believe in their actions.
 
I've been saying for a while that there are a lot of well trained patriotic former soldiers who are pissed off at the government for what is going on and it won't take much to lite the fuse.

Still they are going to identify the vehicle and the owner and start to get leads on who did it. I think the fact it happened specifically in front of AT&T building has something to do with it. No doubt that if the bomber wanted to kill people he easily could have and if this was political from the right it makes no sense to do it in Nashville as they are for the most part a right wing state. If it was from a political left then why pick Tennessee, and why warn people?

There is either more to this or less; meaning this is a public service announcement that this person or group is here and will be bombing more, or this was a dude pissed about getting his cell phone turned off and decided to get AT&T back , but didn't want to hurt anyone.
 
A person of interest has been identified. Early theory is that the intent was to pull in police and first responders, then set it off. Also reports of human tissue possibly found.
I don’t care which side of the aisle you sit, if this is accurate, it’s some fvck up people.
Let’s let the investigation take its course.
 
Apperently they already have a “person of interest” apperently they have a google maps imagine of a persons house with what looks like this RV sitting in the yard. Dating back to sometime in 2019. If this person was trying to get away with it... it wasn’t a good effort

Yep, probably an internet superhero that spilled whiteclaw on his cheeto stained beanbag down in the basement. I just wanted to stir the pot a bit with a Red Dawn/Falling Down conspiracy mash-up.

Reality is, most conservatives will bitch about everything that's wrong but in the end we tend to keep to ourselves.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Don’t think the Supreme Ct wasn’t mindful of leftist riots when deciding TX didn’t have standing to bring a claim against PA. The merits of the case were never heard.
Meanwhile, all conservatives do is bitch and moan.
