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

I definitely smell no falafel here. A small part of me wants to say that a foreign state may be involved, what with the recent megahack and the lame duck timing. I’m surprised no one blamed this on Orange Man yet. If someone managed to successfully blame this either on antifa soy army or Trump’s proud fags, it’d make the political climate very... interesting. However, the location doesn’t work. No one cares about Nashville. If someone were to do that, they’d hit close to the seat of power.

Let’s be real, it’s probably just some faggot trying to get insurance money or a gang thing.

Pretty sure that's Terry Davis. His glowlust radiates beyond the grave.

 

[The Last Stand]

80% chance he's White. 15% he's Black n

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.

Well, most glownig-ops we know about were just the FBI setting up some moron with fake explosives and "preventing" things going further.
This one went through.

If it were a group effort, they'd have dropped a manifesto by now, or linked it up with simultaneous acts of terror (as recently seen by austrian kebabs).
This took time and extraordinary lengths to set up; the average nutjob probably won't show such dedication.
If I were to guess, I'd say it's some lone wolf with a grudge and way too much time on his hands. Another case like Metesky or Uncle Ted.

I’m putting 5 shekels on disgruntled autist who worked at AT&T.

How perfectly 2020 that something fucked up should happen even on Christmas, I’m just glad large numbers of people weren’t killed.

"Outsource this fags"

 

[Male Idiot]

Yeah this smells of a personal grudge.

The far right would target kebab or such, the kebab would target a lot of civilians, blm is way too dumb nigger to make a bomb they would just use torches to burn something down.

Most likely some guy who got fired unfairly or had an employee there caught with his wife.

Nah. If it's not terrorism, it's probably insurance fraud.

Something that's grandiose and will throw off any potential fraud investigations and ensure heavy payouts for multiple insured business owners.

I wish I had something witty to say about this but I was only just now able to get in contact with my parents because of it.

Clown world.

does anyone know where adam warski is?

So I have seen some stories that the police responded to reports of gunshots in that area and came upon that RV.

One group has already given their manifesto and threatened to burn it down if they did not get what they want they might have realized Biden is not the guy. BLM's leader is the protege of Weather Underground leadership.

Maybe they were trying to pull the cops in before detonating the device. Would not be the first bomb Weather Underground affiliated psychos botched.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

The gunshots could’ve also been the guy in the RV offing himself.

 

[Romper Stomper]

There was about 20 or so reported shots. Pretty sure it was played over the PA to wake people up before playing the warning.

 

[Jason Blaha's Hat]

There’s no fucking way this was insurance fraud, there’s so many easier ways to do that. It also has nothing to do with AT&T, the only reason people are mentioning it is because it’s a landmark and was nearby. IRA style terrorism seems most likely, but I feel like if it was the message would be played over the speaker or there would be a manifesto. Who knows.

 

[💗Freddie Freaker💗]

Weather Underground 2.0?

 

[Bibendum]

I think this is likely an attention whore suicide, possibly by a disgruntled former employee or tenant, or maybe even an unusually elaborate insurance scam. Terrorists almost always aim for maximum casualties, while this perp gave bystanders a long, looped, loud warning and considerable time to evacuate. No manifesto has been released nor have any groups claimed responsibility. Since I doubt any bystander would be foolish enough to stay on scene until the moment of detonation, I suspect the human remains found will belong to the perpetrator or perhaps his primary target. I'm looking forward to hearing what the investigation uncovers.

I share your opinion. Honestly, very few of the other theories in this thread make sense.

I think this is either a really elaborate, over the top suicide, or someone is trying to send a message. True, nobody has claimed responsibility, but it has barely been twelve hours since the bomb went off. Really, all we can do now is wait and see.

My bet it's a random 3th party nobody cares about.

 

[Gangster Talk]

I've changed my mind, I'm going with bank robbers, like this was phase 1 to knock off communications for some super badass Nakatomi Plaza type heist. I don't know what is of interest in Nashville, maybe some rednecks heisted the Country Music Hall of Fame.
