Looks intentional. Religion of peace? BLM/Antifa? Right wing spergs?

God, I hope it's anti-country-music terrorism.

You mean freedom fighters.

 

[Wazzupnerds]

Fuck man.


I live about two hours from, Nashville, and go very often there. I have been down that street many, many times.
You never think it's going to happen somewhere you know.

This is a truly braindead terrorism plot if it is one considering there's fucking no one walking around at 6/7 AM on a cold Christmas morning (there's snow on the ground in Nashville...) in an area where most of the shops and bars are fucked anyway because of Chinaflu.

Either it was someone committing suicide (Christmas is a big day for suicides) in a way designed to get attention or even the Muzzies are on meth in Tennessee.

Right wing spergs probably wouldn't attack on Xmas day.

Depends which "right wing" you are talking about.

Some of them would totally attack on one of the infidel's most important holidays.

Giving a warning first is more of an Irish than Muslim thing

If I had to guess, probably insurance fraud by one of the bars.

 

[A Cardboard Box]

Lmao. Imagine scoring no kills while blowing up a VBIED.

Lmao. Imagine scoring no kills while blowing up a VBIED.

Truly, it was a truck bomb of peace.

FBI taking over the investigation

I hope they are as effective as they were in the Las Vegas Shooting...

Seems a little large of an explosion to be a meth lab even an RV sized meth lab

 

[ulsterscotsman]

Lmao. Imagine scoring no kills while blowing up a VBIED.

Depends if they where looking for kills, economic damage or to send a message.

Lmao. Imagine scoring no kills while blowing up a VBIED.

but what would the IRA be doing in nashville?

 

[DeadFish]

Was going to make a post about this. Someone beat me to it.

False flag or what?

Could have been a disgruntled worker or tenant who was sick of their boss's or landlord's bullshit.

EDIT:
Rumored it was the ATT building and there were loudspeaker warnings about an imminent detonation. If true, then it was someone trying to fuck with the internet and maybe government, since government data passes through there.

No wonder my meth's late.

I hope the Nashville building inspector wasn't planning on a long Christmas vacation.

It looks like one of those century-old brick store fronts down the road completely collapsed into the street.

Jesus, of all days. I just wonder what the target was since, looking through the pictures, it's in some random part of downtown not close to anything significant. I don't live in Nashville so that's all I can presume.
Ironically, it's a good thing this happened at 6am on a holiday like this though because it's practically dead outside so I'm glad no one was reported hurt so far.

This was in the heart of the tourist district. Not that anyone is out there at 6:30 on Christmas morning.

Now reporting gunshots were heard before the explosion.

It’s near the AT&T building but not in front of it. It’s a weird area since there are multiple government buildings and the AT&T building very close but it wasn’t parked where it would do the most damage to them.
Multiple sources say loudspeaker warning to evacuate the area and there is a bomb inside the vehicle. Some confused this as coming from the police but that’s not how police do evacuations. Probably insurance fraud from one of the bars that got hit by covid lockdowns.

So it's not a terrorist, it's a 1960's Adam West Batman Villain?

Meth Labs are technically more Combustible rather than explosive. When they go up it's impressive visually. But it's not gonna typically shatter windows and walls several blocks away.
