gowlerk 2,249 #1 Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Most likely terrorism of some kind. Although it is always possible that it is mere criminal activity with other motives. So, let the guessing start. Is it a right wing attempt at throwing shit into the fan, or is a left wing Antifa attack? I considered starting a poll of our guesses, but somehow that seemed a little too flippant, even for me. Edit, I completely forgot about honouring those who live in fear of other religions with a consideration for the possibility of some kind of Islamic, Hindu, or even Buddist conspiracy being involved. It appears there may have been an attempt to lure first responders in before the blast. Thankfully none seem to be injured. https://us.cnn.com/2020/12/25/us/nashville-explosion/index.html Edited December 25, 2020 by gowlerk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,534 #2 December 25, 2020 I heard about it on my class B RV group as well; only there, they were bemoaning the likely new issues that people will have with long-term parking their RV's in town... Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For sure it wasn't roaming bands of rogue Amish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sort of like a neutron bomb, wipes out economies, jobs, ethics, etc. but lets some people live.

Correct As trump stated so succinctly “some very fine people,” Odd that a full day has passed yet no statements from trump condemning the terrorism. Its been 25 years since the Oklahoma City bombing. The warning this bomber made aside. Vehicle bombs like this set very dangerous precedents for the deranged.

Now you know damn well what the differences between Clinton and Trump are so please don't play it that way. I don't know who, why or what was behind the Nashville bombing. It could have been some poor bastard that went low on a 100-Way and just couldn't live with it if we're guessing. But in this environment it's no surprise many suspect that President Insurrection was the inspiration as he is to others who are raising hell and causing grief. And all because because Trump is a moron, a liar and a poor loser. And that is why I wonder if you've started feeling regrets. After all, if only 3 or 4 million like you would have voted for the nation instead of your personal wealth the spread would have been too great for any of the bullshit he's been heaping on the nation since election day.

gowlerk 2,249 #13 December 26, 2020 Christmas morning and a Friday. In front of a major ATT switch facility. Communications in large areas knocked out. Perhaps part of a major theft attempt while alarm systems are down? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil1111 1,149 #15 December 26, 2020 (edited) A single man,Anthony Quinn Warner is a 63-year-old Tennessee resident, self employed in IT and described by neighbors as a "loner". Who recently " transferred the home to a Los Angeles woman a month before the blast." Is described as the bombing suspect. "A quit claim deed available through Davidson County records shows that on November 25, 2020, Warner, for unclear reasons, gave the property in Antioch to an unmarried Los Angeles, California woman named Michelle Swing for zero dollars. The deed confirms that Warner was unmarried. Michelle L. Swing has ties to Tennessee and is 29 years old, according to online records. Her Facebook page is deleted. Daily Mail reached Swing and says she claimed she knew nothing about the house, but they called her “Lisa Swing.” She told Daily Mail: “In the state of Tennessee you can deed property to someone else without their consent or their signature or anything. I didn’t even buy the house he just deeded it over to me without my knowledge. So this all very weird to me, that’s about all I can say.” According to Daily Mail, Swing declined to say whether she had ever met Warner or had family ties to him, saying, “I’ve been told to direct everything else to FBI.” Edited December 26, 2020 by Phil1111 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
