Nashville Bombing

[MetalMamaRocks]

This is a sad situation. I'm 40 miles north of Nashville and go there all the time to dinner, concerts, shopping you name it. It's such a fun city with great people. My heart goes out to them.

Why would anyone do this? To damage the infrastructure? Our phone service has been down since yesterday, and there are reports of Sprint/T-Mobile also being down. ATT internet is also down.

I decided not to post this in the politics thread because there are so many conspiracy theories going around, and this might have nothing to do with politics.

Anybody else out there from around the Nashville area? Are you doing okay?

I read in one of the articles that the RV was broadcasting a message that it was going to blow up in 15 minutes, which is weird as f.

The whole situation is weird as f. I feel bad for all of you on edge down there.

[MetalMamaRocks]

That recording with the timer was so creepy. They obviously were trying to limit casualties but why? The whole thing is so weird. They damaged 60 plus buildings, most of them very old.

I'm thankful no one was seriously injured.

Wife and I watched it happen in real time as we were up with our newborn and the situation just becane more bizarre as the day went on

We were watching channel 5 news and breaking news came on around 6:30 AM.

I just saw on CNN they're pretty sure it was a suicide bomber. They're at the guy's house in Antioch searching through it for more evidence.

It happened next to AT&T, the message was not to harm, because if people die, who ever set it up will be investigated and no one wants extra attention. AT&T antenna's or what ever was on the building went offline and there is tons of people complaining not getting service. Why someone would do this, no one knows. If they can disable service by doing what they did, they can disable it anywhere. According to some youtubers, they think it was a test run, so this can happen again if they decided to do it. The Message is to make sure no one gets harmed. Because why else you would do the message for? Suicider's usually never warm people with a message, they just go and do it.

Give youtube a rest. It's an echo chamber of nonsense.

Lone suicide, non-registered voter, no record of voting in any election, gave his house to woman in Cali for free, woman claims she didnt know he did that (not sure what their connection is), not married and kept to himself, apparently worked with computers/IT, fact that he gave 20 min warning makes me think he did not want death/injuries (enough time to clear people from area but not enough time for bomb squad to stop the bomb), was most likely inside RV at time it happened, they must have footage of him inside it, they believe human remains found were him, wouldnt surprise me if this was just his way to leave a mark (so to speak) and go down in history books, if he had killed himself in "normal" fashion then no one would ever know about it or talk about it. My guess is this is a one-time event and there will be no furthur threat. There were no bombs or traps set at his house so obviously he had no desire to kill LE or any neighbors, clearly he would know that if he did the bomb LE/FBI would be combing his house for evidence/clues.

This is all based on what i have read about him & the situation today. I could be wrong about his motive, just my uneducated opinion. Some people think there may be connection to AT&T so I can see how that would be possible. Will be interesting to see details emerge next few days.

With ATT cell phones and cable internet down in 3 states, this affects stores, ATMs, hospitals, emergency rooms, 911, government offices, businesses, and no telling what else. I can see a direct link between the bomber and ATT.

He might have been trying to damage the infrastructure, but then again, maybe he didn't know he would cause such widespread damage?

https://youtu.be/RmXm-t2PgrI?t=320 now we know it was not RV explosion, so what was it? mail box? It's hard to see what it was since video is kinda far away.

[SanPedroLover]

The amount of BS conspiracy theory and delusional paranoia that floats around this country is both absurd and frightening.

[MetalMamaRocks]

The FBI is currently looking at another suspicious vehicle. The area is blocked off.

There was some discussion at one of the van living subs yesterday wondering if this was going to cause even more issues for people trying to survive living in their vans/RVs/cars.

Youtube is not a credible source. It was an RV, police have confirmed it and used the RV license plate to identify the bomber. There are clear images from CCTV nearby that show the street before and after the RV pulls up and detonates.

The amount of BS conspiracy theory and delusional paranoia that floats around this country is both absurd and frightening.

Amen.

So have we figured out what sort of bullshit AT&T pulled to drive a man to blow himself up in front of their building? I'm half expecting a manifesto about how they raised his monthly bill or screwed him over with some hidden charge.

I hope they can figure out what his motive was. They may never know.

The only thing i could find that would be a possible connection is that his dad worked for a telecommunications company BellSouth that merged into AT&T in 2006.

Some people think he may have had issues with 5G technology, but i'm not sure what he thought he'd accomplish by destroying a small part of their building. That would do nothing to stop 5G tech but maybe he wanted to draw attention to it?

I have a feeling they will find some evidence from his house (computers/files or any writing he did) that will help explain it. Neighbors said he kept any political/religious opinions to himself apparently.

[StinkBaitNate]

AT&T was involved with the FBI or CIA years ago. They could just walk in, they had keys to a room, and they were infringing on people's rights, listening to and scooping up everyone's comms. Anyone else remember this? Probably 10 years or longer.

[Playerpiano72]

The bomber had a relative that worked at AT&T at one point, not sure if that is relevant. I've also heard it mentioned that AT&T is the parent company of CNN, which has been a target for domestic terrorism pretty recently, as well as a target for hard right wingers eager to accuse them of bias.

[MetalMamaRocks]

It sure does seem like he wanted to hurt ATT for some reason.

Now, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but Nashville has been going through civil discourse since the mayor started shutting down bars and restaurants. People like Kid Rock and John Rich have threatened to sue the mayor for putting restrictions on their bars and enforcing a mask mandate.

Could it be the bomber was trying to get back at the mayor by damaging infrastructure and destroying buildings? It seems like he did what he could to not hurt people, but damage the area.

This is interesting:

Explosion around the 3:50 mark

That is so creepy. Where are they at the start of the video? That area with the Christmas trees doesn't look familiar to me.

[IndelibleDotInk]

Any new info?

[MetalMamaRocks]

I haven't heard much else about it. Not a motive, anyway.

[IndelibleDotInk]

Not forgotten.

[StinkBaitNate]

So, I wonder why a man would want to bow up an AT&T building? What happened to AT&T years ago?

[IndelibleDotInk]

There's some conspiracy theories that are pretty convoluted at this point, but nothing substantial.

[mivanqua]

.......

[mivanqua]

Conspiracy or not, they are leaving some VERY important details out. As it stands now, it makes NO sense, even a month later, and the breadcrumbs they have tossed us leave more questions than answers.

What details are you looking for?

[mivanqua]

What really happened, was he a patsy, why, apparently just before the bomb went off, did a couple of cops walk by it talking about how it's the hub of ommunication for the whole area, why did he give his house away, why was he painted as a "radical conspiracy theorist?" Why did the message played backwards say "Merry Christmas?" I could go on all day. I don't accept the official narrative and can assure you that there is more.to all of this.

Played backwards it said merry christmas?? Gotta do some fact finding, thanks for that. The reports I've read just say things have to be analyzed, could take years, guy was an enigma, seemed to have done it on his own, not linked to any particular organization.

I looked for one of the backwards videos on youtube last night but couldn't find any. Quite alright though. When I get my room cleaned I'll flip it myself for you on four track and upload it somewhere. I'm pretty sure I'm going to use that message to open a set so it will be there anyway, why not just flip it? It's true though. I heard it myself. I feel like this will be like Las Vegas "the worst mass shooting in US history" (that they never talk about and was likely an assasination attempt of an Iranian national who was staying on the top floor(s) OR gun deal gone wrong. Lots of theories and few FACTS but it appears that Stephen Paddock was a gun runner for CIA. This is with digging, I'm not just saying that. Again, nothing like the full story there either and it's been YEARS now.

[StringThing]

There's no conspiracy. The guy was involved with the Q conspiracies online. He was after the media.

Eh...says who? The MEDIA?

[StringThing]

His girlfriend, who reported he was working on making a bomb a year ago.

But yeah, I guess the globalists are all working together to push out fake info, right?

It's not the "globalists" or the 1% or whatever you'd like to refer to them as so much as...i look at it like this : I can't speak on other countries because I've only lived here, but I consider the media like CCTV for America. Its written and conceived and presented as such to manipulate our feelings/opinions. In China, they don't even watch the news because they know its propaganda. Why cant people understand that here? I know you were trying to out me as a "crazy conspiracy theorist" there, but I would just more aptly be called "someone who wants to be manipulated as little as possible." I've not had an easy life, man. I don't need more lies. They lie and have proven it time and time again and will continue to so. There's your crazy conspiracy. Think what you'd like, I'm just saying.
