They have been so completely demoralized and radicalized that they create their own reality, and they believe it all without question and even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Yeah, for the record, a certain portion of men have known how to blow things up for centuries now, long before “I.T.” or the Internet.
Now any guy with just a little curiosity can learn how to do things ranging from black powder pipe bombs to pressure cooker versions up through truck bombs like the first WTC attack and Oklahoma City. Honestly the things are not that complicated. It’s really about the will to do it. And if a guy has decided to die in the blast the complexity of remote detonation or trusting timers and fuses, well he makes sure it works.
I am actually surprised we haven’t yet seen more sophisticated attacks. It’s not that hard to fly drones with pipes. The software for a sentry gun (demonstrated multiple times with paintball “markers” as proxies) was freely available for a while.
The think about destruction is sometimes guys follow a script that has so imprinted on their consciousness that they don’t actually accomplish anything at all. Remember the guy who flew a Cessna into an IRS office building? Sheer symbolism.
To make one of that size, you have to really, really know what you are doing. And to get the materials without showing up on a thousand lists you have to really know what you are doing in that respect as well.
Not necessarily true. Plenty of code jockeys out there who learned how to program in CS programs or bootcamps who don't know jack about wiring or hardware.
Unless it’s corporate IT. Some of those guys only know how to send emails and reply “have you opened a ticket?” yet you can’t fire them because diversity quotas.
to make a bomb that you suicide in, literally one button, a battery pack, and some kind of heat element or fuse. I can think of one extremely easy possibility but i'm not going to say it and wind myself up on a fbi watch list. If you want remote detonation, it's not that much more complicated, any rc hobby shop would have the necessary supplies or could probably get off of amazon. We aren't talking about some kind of hollywood style, 800 wires inside, bomb. Does not take an electronics engineering degree to make these kind of circuits, not that much knowledge at all.
Yes, in fact any curious man of average or above intelligence can make explosives. You don’t need formal training to learn much any longer. And basic explosives are really simple. Plenty of YouTube videos walk you through things like making your own black powder or rocket fuel. Well if you have enough of such material in a confined space when it ignites the difference between rapid burning and explosion is really just a question of pressure and speeds. Pipe bombs and pressure cooker bombs force the chemical reaction to reach a much higher pressure until they finally fail rapidly and the very vessel becomes shrapnel sent flying by the blast wave.
Did you know gasoline has an energy content approaching TNT? In a car’s engine a tiny amount of gas is sprayed into the cylinder where it is mixed with air and ignited for an explosion that drives the piston. We call them internal combustion engines, ICE, but at some point rapid combustion is explosion, hence fuel air explosives.
Don’t get me wrong, advanced explosives are beyond the capacity of most individuals, but you don’t need some amazing shaped charge with lensing and an EFP to do some damage.
I would not encourage anybody to start learning this stuff now because of what’s coming, but I think it’s fascinating and part of basic knowledge of chemistry and history. You don’t have to plan on being a mechanic to take a few minutes to learn how cars work.
But like sufficient that it would be easy to make a bomb?
Yeah for sure...
Every computer repairmen could double as a bomb manufacturer with a few extra steps of training?
In shitholes they train people who don't know how to do much more than pick shit out of fields to make IEDs... so yeah I think an educated person could make do.
Excellent points all. One thing I have noticed with family members who had mental health challenges is that the internet can make them far, far worse. Instead of the mitigating influences of family, churches, real friends, etc. they immerse themselves in social media where they hook-up with other crazy people and they all tend to reinforce one another.
The guy was dying of cancer. His father had been an AT&T employee who passed away with dementia at age 78. He blamed 5G from AT&T for causing his dad's condition and thought that this attack would rally the public to oppose 5G. Going out with a bang as it were.
It may be but it seems unlikely. The capitol building is nearby so that's a potential but it's hard to see a motive for the location otherwise unless he had an unrequited thing for one of the Hooters ladies.
Maybe he had a good paying IT job, maybe even worked in the AT&T building at some time. Got laid off or outsourced, did odd IT jobs to get by. COVID hit, he's 62, savings gone, not getting business, isolated, locked down and alone. Gives his house away to some internet babe in CA and ends it angry at the world.
IT is one of the most stables jobs in covid from everything i've seen, demand is up for technology and therefore support of that technology, they are almost universally considered essential workers, you can do many parts of the job without contacting people in person.
Have a couple of friends go through the layoffs in the last two years, both from corporate buyout and consolidation. One gave up and retired early the other was 14 months between jobs. You get to a certain age and they don't want to hire you because they think you won't be around long.
Well, waiting to see if they need to lie....
Always need to lie, it's just which lie and how loudly.
All eyes should be on michelle swing
this is the lying piece of shit that claimed she didn't know the bomber had moved two properties into her name
there is more to this than meets the eye
LOL are they past caring about any appearances at all now? Just make shit up, period? Not even bothering to make it remotely believable?
Everything has worked so far why change now? Just getting more brazen
And the more that I look at the info put out by our digital warriors, the more that I realize Trump's team is controlling what they can report on.
As more time passes, it seems like a white hat operation to me. Nice that they gave everyone a warning to leave the area. 😁
when you don't believe in truth as a concept, it really frees up your creativity
They have been so completely demoralized and radicalized that they create their own reality, and they believe it all without question and even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
This is the suspect
Looks like Jeremy Irons to me
Some dude on social media says this was clearly done to scare Georgians into voting Republican.
And I kek
That dude is probably late 30s to late 40s
That is a given
He had an IT background, but there's no indication he had an electronics background. All kind of weird.
idk, in all my experience if your in IT, you also know how to make basic electronic circuits and wire up basic electrical shit..

Why are u being down voted for this?

He was an alarm installer so I'm wondering if he got stiffed by AT&T at some point.
Don't know how good his sources are but Dan Bongino is claiming this.

And you believe that bullshit?
Kind-of plausible but 5G is a bit recent for that to seem to be a good motive.
It may be but it seems unlikely. The capitol building is nearby so that's a potential but it's hard to see a motive for the location otherwise unless he had an unrequited thing for one of the Hooters ladies.

If it's another rACIST incel tRumP SUPporTer, I swear I'm done with everything and I'm believing every single conspiracy theory from now on.
Well you should probably start going down that path anyways...
