Large Explosion in downtown Nashville

[evillawyer]

So are people claiming this as terrorism?

I don't know, how would you describe an RV stuffed with explosives and a PA system telling everyone within earshot it was about to go off? A boom-boom party?

No matter who is responsible it is an act of terrorism.

 

[jaybird_1981]

Human remains have been reported to have been found at the site. No word if it was a bombing suspect or victim.

I’m coming in late here. I didn’t know about the shots being fired or the recording. Does seem like a strange place and time for a terrorist attack. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a terrorist that gave an actual warning. Strange times.

My theory is suicide and they didn't want to take anyone else out. Only thing that makes the heads up/ loud speaker make sense to me.

It's very strange...Strikes me as either a suicide bombing by someone who has a beef with AT&T or a tactical strike to knock out comms for a bigger job.

 

[USAFgolferVol]

I know right? I tried calling 911 on my neighbor for not taking their trash can off of the street in a timely manner and got nothing.

You're joking, right?

That’s certainly an interesting theory. People are damn crazy.

I’ve been thinking it’s something like your second option there. Seems something bigger could happen

The Democrat leftist Nashville mayor just laughing it off.

Meh, let's not be nitpicky and petty. Plenty of other things to roast him on besides this.

Sounds complex. At least we can rule some out.

 

[LampVol]

He'll run for governor?

His dad, Prentice Cooper was Governor and his brother Jim Cooper is a Congressman

Damn he’s an idiot. Can you guys go back to the chick that was shagging her body guard?

I didn't realize he was one of them.

 

[NorthDallas40]

I’d guess the dimmest bulb in the box from seeing that news clip

 

[LampVol]

I didn't realize he was one of them.

yes he is and also a Harvard grad.

 

[RavinDave]

yes he is and also a Harvard grad.

That explains a lot.

Maybe "terror" wasn't the desired outcome. Just physical destruction.

Sarcasm goes right over your roof doesn't it?

Now that I know who he is, there is a family resemblance. Before today, I had no idea who the Mayor of Nashville is. I'm neither surprised, nor impressed.

 

[dovervolz]

If I had to guess, I'd say boogaloo movement

Boogaloo movement - Wikipedia

Could easily been the antifa or blm. But I’m not one to lay blame without proof

Well, I haven't lived in Tennessee since 1976, and have had no awareness of its politicians except the clowns in the Senate.

The evacuation warning is creepy as hell. Then it blows soon after. Almost like the ass hat wanted to catch as many people out in the open as possible.
