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

According to the press conference, police were called around 5:30 am regarding gunshots. They then encountered the RV and the loudspeaker message and started evacuating residents.

Starts around the 16 min mark:

They is a recording of it actually, both of the loudspeaker and the explosion itself.

Notice around 3:11, after the explosion, a man is just walking his dog. Just strolling.

Politely announced they were going to bomb a location so civilians would run away first?

I this this might be actual-honest-to-god political terrorism then, of the Domestic/European kind, since Islamic attacks usually go for mass casualties if possible. This reminds me of what the IRA did.

Rather eerie and suspicious that there was a WARNING, yet nobody evacuated. Or that gunshots were in the vicinity of the impact.

Insurrection 2021 getting a week early start

At Proud Boys Volcano Island HQ "haha they'll never figure it out, we started Insurrection 2021 in 2020! wow such clever much deception"

I wish we had a "confusion" rating for posts like this

Part of me instantly went "false flag!" But idk glow niggers usually go for mass casualties or creating irl straw villains. Like where they arrested that guy mailing pipe bombs and he had that van plastered with pepes and other hip dank maymays to seduce little Timmy into Nazism

tfw when it's actually just some disgruntled ex-AT&T employee or some guy with AT&T Wireless who they throttled for watching too much 4K porn on his phone

This makes the most sense based on the timeline of events and the warning, and honestly would be the least surprising imo

Why is the mayor of Nashville laughing this off? What's his endgame?

I think the real question is how the fuck does Nashville have a lispy queer for a mayor?

The guy is opposed to sanctuary city laws so he's pretty alright for a democrat

I wouldn't read too much into it. The video doesn't really show him "laughing off" the bombing- he made a stupid joke to lighten the mood and he had a quick chuckle over it before moving on. Odds are he's not used to dealing with problems of this caliber.

See Kiwis? This is how you do a terrorist bombing: give adequate notice and polite instructions.

8/10 - Only pirate if you're unsure but I strongly recommend you buy.

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

If it were some typical far right false flag to whip libs into a frenzy, they would have already deployed all their messaging towards that narrative. It's either fairly mundane (for a bombing) or complex enough that revealing the information complicates any narrative politicians would want to push.

Because Nashville and Memphis are blue tumors on an otherwise deep red state.

Regardless, the first responders are doing their jobs beautifully.

They should be with their families, but instead they're dealing with this. THAT'S dedication.

Hope they get paid overtime and recognition.

Legit feel bad for all the cops, firemen, and FBI guys who had their Christmas ruined.

He probably shook so inappropriate joke and nervous laughter

I this this might be actual-honest-to-god political terrorism then, of the Domestic/European kind, since Islamic attacks usually go for mass casualties if possible. This reminds me of what the IRA did.

If it was political terrorism then they would've bombed a police station, the federal courthouse, city hall (which got vandalized by BLM earlier this year), the state capitol building, or another government building. Unless this is a "far-right terror attack" in which case it's guaranteed to be a false flag.

I suspect it was some insurance fraud scheme or a suicide. If it was a suicide, that explains the gunshots, and it would take a while to find out since the bodies are blown to bits.

I think the real question is how the fuck does Nashville have a lispy queer for a mayor?

Because his brother has been in Congress for decades and his daddy was governor of the state back in the good ol' days when colored folk knew their place.

I can see it being a disgruntled former AT&T employee.

I'm leaning towards suicide or insurance fraud.

The dog walker seems like a person of interest.

Looks like a bunch of 911 services in TN are having some issues because of this

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - Murfreesboro, Mt. Juliet and La Vergne Police departments reported outages to their 911 and non-emergency lines.
The departments have set up alternate lines for people needing to call the police.
...
Sumner County ECC is experiencing a phone line outage as well. 911 is still functioning at this time. People trying to contact Sumner County ECC can dial 615-561-2080 or 615-561-2308 in the meantime.

The Bowling Green Police Department reported a widespread problem to their 911 emergency line as well. They say 911 is working but is very slow.

I can see it being a disgruntled former AT&T employee.

I seriously doubt that's the case. This was a very sophisticated attack that featured some sort of automated loudspeaker and an explosive powerful enough to have been felt miles away. It's highly unlikely that some random AT&T worker would have the knowledge or intelligence necessary to pull this off. Even if they did, why would they decide to commit a super elaborate no-casualties car bombing instead of just shooting up the office?
