Car bomb exploded in Nashville

[FortunateSon]

If that was the thought process (I doubt) then it is a flawed approach.

Set off a bomb as big as this was, and it doesn't matter much if people died or not. Pretty sure the Feds are going to lock you up forever and ever.

That bomb wasn't weak. I'm sure the Feds would consider this a major bombing. I know there were/are bigger bombs, but once someone gets into destroying one or more buildings, they've pretty much crossed the line.

Yes, all of this is true. Flawed approach, definitely a terrorist act, a large enough bomb (certainly not a pipe bomb) so the Feds will have their way with them.

Regarding the bomb, in a vehicle that size you could pack enough explosive materials to rival the OK City bombing in damage. Just saying that if these were "professional" terrorists or even well trained and properly motivated whack jobs, they could have done much more damage and maximized casualties. They drove this vehicle into downtown Nashville and parked it.....

Terrorist plain and simple.
The act was meant to scare / terrorize people and it did. Someone needs to swing for this otherwise more will come.

Warning people a bomb is about to go off doesn't really fit the MO though, does it?

Maybe this will cause "authorities" to be less tolerant of all the RVs parked in urban areas?

It is still about terror whether there was a warning or not.

Terrorist groups are known to sometimes give warnings about bombings

Nope.

One would hope, but nope - they won't.

I understand where you're coming from. However, someone who is trying to create fear and terror by blowing up a downtown city block is a terrorist by definition. Trying to minimize loss of life, a kinder gentler version? But does kind and gentle really fit this act? My comment is based on the bombers intent to destroy and cause fear.

Did you find this - or an assumption?

Because the details are sketchy - and perplexing.

Link to this? I've been reading a bit about the person of interest, but haven't seen indication he was in custody or even confirmed alive. Thanks much.

Didn't really read the whole thread but sounds like someone had 10,000 and one primers.
pretty simple really

AFIK, it was a 63 year old white guy at the time of my writing. The rest of it was meant to be facetious. Here's one link https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nashville-bombing-person-of-interest-identified/

I guess I should have used a tongue in cheek emoji next time I am trying to be clever.

Some talk somewhere is that the AT&T building and vicinity is also where there's major NSA data going through, and this was done deliberately to target that specific type of infrastructure (internet, comms, that sort of thing)... not sure this is needed? . Supposedly its in "response" to our supposed stoppage of cyber attacks from certain places?

Let's hope this isn't an FBI Richard Jewel fiasco. The Fed never admits mistakes and they make plenty.
