There's been an intentional explosion in Downtown Nashville on Christmas day. What the hell is wrong with people?

[front2back]

Here is my analysis based on currently available information:
(1.) What was the VBIED (Vehcile-Born Improvised Explosive Device)?
-RV filled with at least a couple hundred pounds of ANFO (Ammonium-Nitrate) - attached was a loudspeaker attached to a recording telling people they needed to evacuate.
(2.) What was the target/goal?
-To take out or at least disrupt the AT&T data center, which is a major switchboard for the Southeast. They succeed as Emergency Services and Internet/Phone was down for nearly the whole day. The goal was not to have human casualties but to destroy critical infrastructure.
in my opinion: This was a "dry run" and most likely not the first bomb attack, the goal was to see how much damage they could actually do and the next explosion will likely be bigger.
(3.) What is suspicious about the AT&T building and why does it matter?
-The AT&T data center attacked has been revealed in the Edward Snowden leaks to be one of the NSA's surveillance nodes, used to track the communications of both foreign and domestic people. Not only that, but the AT&T building has a hazard diamond which shows an unknown chemical is used within, likely for refrigerative cooling of the servers. (4.) What are the possible people who would commit this attack?
-First, a disgruntled current or former AT&T or Government employee who knew that this facility was highly important or hiding something and they wanted to destroy/disrupt it, and possibly bring attention to it.
-Second, a political extremist of an anti-government nature who wanted to disrupt communication infrastructure or destroy the AT&T data involving peoples' information.
-Third, a legitimate wacko who wanted to blow up an RV and has little connection to the AT&T building.
in my opinion: It is likely the first person, maybe the second.
(5.) Where do we go from here?
-Remain vigilant, if something doesn't seem right it probably isn't, and if you see something say something. As I have previously stated, this likely will not be the last bomb attack or attack on the communications grid.
in my opinion: I would start to get into Handheld AMateur radio (HAM), as if the internet and phone services go down, 2-way radios will be the only form of communication still working and will allow you to contact others and emergency authorities.

I'm not surprised someone did this on Christmas. If you're a big enough jerk to cause a perilous explosion near people, you are probably not the type to care about ruining Christmas, lol.

As for what's wrong with him: he doesn't have a conscience.

Its obviously a diversion what is planting a bomb and then telling everyone going to get you other than all the cops screaming towards it and away from other places, then you blow it to slow response times and let you escape. it litterly the plot to die hard with a vengence and they did it on Christmas because there will be minimal or no people in the atnt building so minimal collateral damage and no people and the other location

Mental healthcare isn't free, unfortunately.
Healthcare in general isn't free.
We have a ton of misinformation being spread.
We let everyone breed.
Half the population is severely lacking in cognitive faculties or functional thinking, that includes empathy. Then another half of that is even worse.
People are in fact fucking crazy.

That's terrible 😔 but I guess it sadly makes sense... To catch people off guard when they are least alert. It's sad that it had to be Christmas when they chose to take advantage of people 😔

Probably just a bit of DIY gas work, due to Trumps pandemic putting a lot of small businesses out.

Can't be a religion of peace thing because there was a warning.

Most likely Right Wing Domestic Terrorists. Law enforcement indicates the biggest terrorist threats to the US come from the right wing fringe groups. Trump's rhetoric has them thinking their hour has come.

[CaptainSmartass]

Whoever did this is clearly sick in the head. Their ass is worth 5 million dollars, though, so we need to get the transit van ready.

Simples...

[NorthwestRider]

Was it a right wing terrorist still mad that Trump lost?

[Red_Arrow]

Someone doesn’t like Christmas music. Or they are just plain evil. Trump will pardon them.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes people are crazy I don't know what to think when they do these things especially on Christmas Day

[navyrobin]

Sick people tryna stir shit up

[Jamie05rhs]

I second those sentiments!

[KyceG]

That’s crazy as hell. People are idiots.

[jimmy2]

[Sweetheart666]

[Marriedwith2]
