Huge explosions involving 20 buildings and several city blocks in nashville

Maybe someone is just pissed off at AT&T.

AT&T Helped U.S. Spy on Internet on a Vast Scale (New York Times; August 2015)

The documents, provided by the former agency contractor Edward J. Snowden, were jointly reviewed by The New York Times and ProPublica. The N.S.A., AT&T and Verizon declined to discuss the findings from the files. “We don’t comment on matters of national security,” an AT&T spokesman said.

… according to a report by the NBC affiliate in Nashville.

seems as likely a reason as any with the QAnon crowd.

Are you suggesting that Mr. Warner is involved in QAnon?

 

[rareboy]

No. Just blithely branding him with the same brush as a conspiracy addled nutcase who has been convinced by the same people who create and spread all these baseless theories.

There seems to be a lot of overlap among the QAnoners and the New World Orderers and the anti-vaxxers and the 5Gers.

It will be interesting to find out if he actually blew himself up for his 'cause'.

 

[rareboy]

Apparently he did. And he was apparently an IT specialist....although from a lot of those I have met or read....that can mean a lot of things.

One correction though....the first pics that went out of AQW seem to be someone else?

There are many possibilities still out there.

It's not surprising that it was a suicide bombing. With the warnings, that seemed even more likely.

Wonder if he had a terminal illness. There doesn't seem to be any job firing or romantic relationship tanking, etc.

The AT&T angle may be the too easy angle. Considering that he deeded his home to a friend in California before he blew himself up, I can think of a couple of other less menacing angles for his explosion.

Wonder if he knew any of the small business owners on that street, the ones they don't seem to be voicing opinions about. As bizarre as it sounds, he may have primarily been intending suicide, so using it to help a business challenged or teetering on bankruptcy from the pandemic. The insurance and rebuild break could be a boon. I know that's crazy, but he's already crazy by definition.

I'm just not sold on the 5G story. It's convenient, but they should have found corroboration on social media before now, and that hasn't come out, has it?

When you first posted it made me think of the Atlanta Olympics bombing.

Apparently Trump still hasn't bothered to call the mayor of Nashville?

^ With Trump, that's par for the [golf] course.

Oh, you mean the one that went out with "him" wearing a Trump hat?
Just another effort of the crazed left to brand all Trump supporters as crazy.
One would think that "they" might put out a fake photo of someone in a Biden hat

Haven't they suffered enough?

They're very good at doing that all by themselves.

He may have been a believer in the Lizard People conspiracy that a number of QAnoners also have latched onto.

Effective as propaganda, but not accurate. Once the FBI determined that the bomber was the remains they found, the major news outlets did refer to it as a suicide bombing.

Again, one of the fuels of the reactionary right is the propensity of lies on the left. Of course, that's usually a domestic issue before foreign actors begin pulling strings in American media.
