Wow it’s almost like they blew it up on purpose, and gave people minimal time to get out so they wouldn’t be killed.

A cop noticed the suspicious vehicle and what he suspected was a bomb. The appropriate specialist were on their way and a warning was broadcast to keep civilians out of the area before the bomb squad could arrive. It went off.

a warning was broadcast to keep civilians out of the area before the bomb squad could arrive.

The police news conference just said the recording was coming from the vehicle that exploded.

Several witnesses have stated the warning was coming from the vehicle. Weird that we have no video of it yet.

The only reasons I can think of that an event would explode in the middle of the night with a warning so no one is injured:

  • It was a warning. Very likely the warning was also communicated to someone else prior (possibly police chief or fbi, or whoever this terrorist is communicating with, maybe civilian).
  • It was a test run, more to come.

What did that warming say? I can't hear what is being said.

Nashville police news conference is the source.

Uh, big if true, but otherwise rumor got lost in translation and is bullshit.

I know right wtf, especially when nobody does the ol expired plates windowless white van trope anymore.

That’s the witness report. Gunshots followed by the RV announcing that it was about to explode.

Could easily be a paid actor ‘witness’

Stop spreading misinformation. I am going to assume it's willful.

The police, themselves, at their own press conference, are saying that it's from the RV itself.

Wait, was this a warning from the police, or was it being broadcast from the RV itself?

Because the former makes sense, the latter makes this some sort of limp-dicked soy-filled terrorism.

Of course, I've been expecting Antifa to progress to pipe bombs ever since they started trying to murder federal employees without punishment this summer, so...

The recording sounds to me like Alexa has run out of patience with us.

Quite seriously wondering if they used a text-to-speech converter.

I don't think that's the takeaway you should get from a warning on the RV.

Bombs target casualties or people. If it was broadcasting a warning, then people were not the target.

That leaves a property as the target, where was it detonated?

But there are better ways of targeting buildings while reducing casualties. Broadcast that the van is a bomb is going to increase the likelihood of it being defused before detonation. Far better to call in a bomb threat at the location to trigger an evacuation without specifying where.

So logically it didn't appear to target people or infrastructure. Then it most likely is a warning.

And it was done with a level of competence and planning that you don't generally ascribe to the left.

Or they tripped it accidentally, or a booby trap, or the owner suicided, or it was remote detonated.

There is a lot of reasons this could have gone down the way it did. All this confirms is that Bomb Squad was either there or on the way. So this likely was not the intended target.

Minimizing casualties almost confirms that it wasn't a deep state op, imo.

Speculation and assumption like this are counter productive.

All detective work uses speculation and assumption to test possible realities.

What, you mean where I listed off a dozen different things that it could be to keep people from jumping to specific conclusions and assumptions?

Are you going to copy past that comment for all the other speculations on the board or was mine special somehow?

CA4Newscum -3 points ago +2 / -5

Your comment is particularly asinine because you go beyond other speculations of whodunit to theorize about the intended target, for which you have extraordinarily little information to base any of your assumptions.

And no, we're not in kindergarten. I don't have to hand out a stick of gum to everyone in the class because I threw one at one kid. Grow up.

Respectfully disagree. The news isn't going to tell us what will happen, nor will the police who've been busy making us all wear masks. We need to figure it out for ourselves based on whatever information we can get. The process involves a lot of speculation and theorizing to play out all the possibilities. This is how the sausage gets made, and if you don't like it, I further respectfully suggest you watch the stickied posts for conclusions, and watch the news a few days later for confirmation that we were right.

If you throw enough spaghetti at the wall, something might stick, it doesn't make you a great chef. Saying you were right afterwards about 1 of 15 things that were theoretical is a bit of an ego-dellusional post hoc fallacy.

One local guy put up a post about how this might be related to a very recent real estate deal between the city and a developer, and how this was the last part of downtown to get renovated - and that this parcel is near some prime waterfront. Removing these buildings or giving owners a reason to sell cheap with an insurance claim would help things a lot. I can't find that post anywhere now, but there's hundreds of posts about false flags, 3 letter influence; parroting nonsense ad nauseam. In an emergency, well trained Pedes ought to know to calm the fuck down. Keep a cool head and properly investigate - like the election fraud. Offering copious volumes of speculative bullshit helps no one.

I would tend to not let it have any effect. We have no idea what it was or was about, could have just been random. Without any useful information it's just a random event with no real bearing on anything. Random things happen.

Still yet. We are clearly at Zero Hour, and it’s not a bad thing to not let complacency become the norm in our current situation. Stay alert, stay alive
