Nashville Bombing

[Back]

If you hadn't heard a bomb in a recreational vehicle went off 6:30 am Christmas morning in downtown Nashville. The explosion was preceded by a computerized warning to evacuate the area. Police responding to a shots fired at 4:30 am heard the recording and evacuated the area. No one was killed. Damage was done to an AT&T station.

The AT&T site had to have been the target. The bomber attempted to reduce the number of casualties. What gives?

Why do you believe that the AT&T site was the target? Just because it was damaged?

[caelric]

Current theory is anti 5G paranoia.

[Maerit]

Human remains were found in the exploded RV, and a 60something year old man is suspected as the son of a former at&t employee.

You might want to get off the Internet for a while. Maybe get a 2nd job to take care of your wife and kid for a change.

Three things.

The Michigan Militia is the appropriate terrorist organization to reference, Fierna.

Antifa would have been more appropriate than BLM given the difference in their views on violence.

No way I believe PB is only in his 60s.

You've stalked my underage girl for 15+ years... you probably know all about me.

Maybe it's the math that has you confused?

All because I told you no one wanted you in the World of Warcraft guild anymore because you are a toxic piece of shit.

So sad.

It's interesting to note that even though this guy died in the attack, the media isn't describing him as a suicide bomber. Presumably because he was a white guy.

and yet when I read articles on the Nashville bombing they're still not calling it that. I feel certain they would if he was brown and Muslim, but white grandpa RV bomber just gets a free pass as Nashville Bomber.

SPOILER: NO ONE HAS SAID HE'S NOT A SUICIDE BOMBER. NO ONE. BECAUSE HE USED A BOMB TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

Protip. Still no terror label for the Nashville bombing.

"The FBI investigation into whether the Nashville bombing was a terrorist act has sparked criticism about a possible racial double standard and drawn questions from downtown business owners whose insurance coverage could be affected by the bureau’s assessment."

For something to be labelled terrorism, they have to have a specific motive. They don't know what his motive is yet. If you know what his motive was and can firmly label it terrorism, let the FBI know.

[caelric]

For some to be labelled terrorism, they have to have a specific motive. They don't know what his motive is yet.

And here, I'll help, for the crazed time4bhaalizmo persona:



the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.


That was from dictionary.com.

There needs to be a motive. A random bombing is not terrorism. A bombing with the intent to pilictally motivate people is terrorism. What's the motive, here?

Or can we just start crying about how the white man committed a terror bombing (even though he took pretty significant steps to ensure no one was killed, only property damage) and thus, white men are bad.

So you go from "OMG NO ONE IS CALLING HIM A SUICIDE BOMBER!" (which was proven false) to now "OMG NO ONE IS CALLING IT TERRORISM!"

Do we know his motivation for the ZOMG SUICIDE BOMBING yet? That's the key there.

Protip: Just blowing yourself up doesn't make it terrorism. The motivation is a key component.

Bhaalizmo doesn't understand that kind of stuff until he switches over to his time4fun personality, where he might be slightly less stupid.

The tim4fun part of his brain, while still terrible and batshit, is noticeably more functional overall.

Protip: Being able to find a link that supports your point of view, doesn't equate to proving something false. This is a small part of your problem.

In my opinion, blowing up the downtown of a City is a terrorist act regardless of motivation. Regardless of his attempt to spare life. He caused millions of dollars in damage and destroyed network infrastructure, during a critically contested election. It was a terrorist act, and if he were brown and wearing a turban nobody would have any difficulty calling it that.

Your opinion doesn't decide what the definition of terrorism is though. There is a strict definition of the crime and they haven't proven the motivation yet. The color of the perpetrator doesn't matter.

[drauz]

The color of the perpetrator shouldn't matter.

Fixed.

We both know for a lot of people it does matter though.

[Gelston]

It doesn't as far as what the FBI is going to classify it as. I couldn't give a shit less what some random neckbeard thinks it is.

[Bhaalizmo]

Oh I'm definitely not under the impression that that the opinion of a citizen affects what a security agency defines as terrorism. We can agree on that point. I have federal law enforcement in the family, I'm clear on how it works. But my statement stands. If Nashville downtown had been blown up by a brown guy with a turban but no motive was found, I have little doubt it'd be labeled a terrorist act with ease.

[caelric]

Not by the FBI, it wouldn't. Not until there was a terror nexus with a motive. When the asshole shot up Fort Hood, it wasn't labeled terrorism for a long, long time, even though he was a devout Muslim, and had brown skin.

But don't bother letting facts get in the way of your feelings.

[Gelston]

I think due to the warnings to get people away, he obviously wasn't going for a body count. With no manifesto, it is going to be hard to really label this as terrorism. It is hard to prove terrorism if no one knows wtf the guy was trying to do.

[Parkbandit]

Protip: Being able to find a link that supports your point of view, doesn't equate to proving something false. This is a small part of your problem.

Protip: Being incapable of understanding a simple definition doesn't equate to proving something true. This is a small part of your problem, but the bigger problem is you are just too fucking stupid to know much of anything.

Notice how the definition of terrorism doesn't take into account what your personal opinion is?

That should have been your first clue, you clueless fuck.

It's painfully clear you don't know how it works.

It's painfully clear you can't read and understand the definition of what determines terrorism.

This isn't a difficult concept.. yet, here we are...
