Explosion in Dowtown Nashville

[GrantDawg]

Only three casualties with minor injuries, partially because of timing but also because an officer found the vehicle suspicious and cleared the area. Unknown whether this will be foreign or domestic terrorism.

Really weird timing if the goal was to kill and injure.

6:30am on Christmas with a "warning." Seems like it was a test of some sort.

It does seem to narrow things down. International terrorist dont connect loud speakers warning people on their bombs.

The video of the warning is utterly bizarre.

Sounds like some domestic weirdo. I guess we'll find out if it's a group or not.

Sucks for the businesses. Glad no one got seriously hurt.

[GrantDawg]

They have found remains near the site.

curious if the proximity to AT&T will turn out to matter, but yeah, I agree w/ all of the guesses and of course concern raised above.

[Edward64]

FWIW, that was a nice looking RV. Strange story so far.

[GrantDawg]

The FBI says they know the target, just not the rest. I take that to mean it was the At&t building. It did successfully disrupt communication in a large area. We have a At&t hub locally, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have extra security up. It is not unusual to have military vehicles out there in times of heightened alert.

Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, is a suspect and police are apparently at his home.

[GrantDawg]

No further information. He signed his house over a month ago to a woman in California that is not related to him. It is the second property that he signed over to her. Police off the record has said they believe this was a sucide bomb, but no confirmation if the remains was this guy, or even if they were human. No known motive.

Everything is coming together now. The nutso former CEO of Overstock thinks the bomb was an attempt to destroy voting information for Dominion machines.

But what does the MyPillow guy think?

Sounds like a 5g nutter.

[GrantDawg]

He played the song "Downtown" before detonation. I don't know what to do with that.

Information is trickling out so slowly on this. Even rumors seem to be quiet. I see a bunch of people mad that people aren't more upset about this "terrorist attack", though I still haven't seen the why part that would make this terrorism. The only thing I have seen so far was this guy might have had a "5G" conspiracy thing going, but that is just rumor. I have heard that his dad worked in that AT&T building, and that he dated the mom of the girl he deeded his house to. I have no idea if either of those things are true. The lack of press coverage is pretty amazing, but then what exactly is the press suppose to be saying? "The buildings are still damaged. Back to you, Pete."

My conservative family members are saying plenty about it on Facebook. Don’t you know it’s a liberal plot to disrupt the audit of the voting.

[rjolley]

Since Biden had a speech there a few days after, wouldn't the conspiracy theory be that it was a practice run at attacking the speech?

I saw that theory, I laughed my ass off at anyone who thought that was even remotely authentic.

I know you can't bat 1.000, but this seems like a pretty big miss.

NEW: Police visited the home of Anthony Quinn Warner last year after his girlfriend told them he was "building bombs in the RV." The FBI was also told about the report last August. https://t.co/2n0wQh9Zc6

I just posted that story to my wifes cousins facebook post on it being a conspiracy.

[Flasch186]

Qanon followers, even those just dabbling with it for the first time, are so dangerous.

[GrantDawg]

Now the belief is the bomber also believed in the lizard people conspiracy.

Have a feeling the police would have handled this differently if he was Muslim.
