I'm pretty curious about the motive. He killed only himself; I wonder if he meant for the bomb to go off at that time or if he was going to put it somewhere else and leave.

 

Seems his motive was to take out some AT&T infrastructure. The fact that it was on Christmas day when people are least likely to be around and that a recording was played telling people to get away makes me think he wasn't out to hurt people per se. Doesn't mean I'm saying he's not an insane asshole terrorist, though.

Police bodycam footage of the events prior to the explosion, and after. The officer walks past the RV at around 1:40 to 2:10. The explosion occurs at 3:50 in the video. 

 

 



Oh so the body cam footage works when you want to show officer bravery but somehow wasn't on or malfunctioned if a black person is killed by an officer...

Also that call for not needing fire on standby was just a little premature.

Welp. We eventually got there.

Nashville police got a report 16 months before a bomb exploded in the city on Christmas that a man named in the blast was building a device in his RV.

 

Quote

Sixteen months before Anthony Quinn Warner's RV exploded in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning, officers visited his home in Antioch after his girlfriend reported that he was making bombs in the vehicle, according to documents obtained by The Tennessean. 


In the aftermath, The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Warner was "not on our radar" prior to the bombing. But a Metro Nashville Police Department report from August 2019 shows that local and federal authorities were aware of alleged threats he had made.

On Aug. 21, 2019, the girlfriend told Nashville police that Warner "was building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence," the MNPD report states. Nashville police then forwarded the information to the FBI.


 

Throckmorton, who served as the woman's attorney, told officers Warner "frequently talks about the military and bomb making," the document said.

 

Warner "knows what he is doing and is capable of making a bomb," the attorney said to the officers, according to the report.

 

In an interview Tuesday night, Throckmorton told The Tennessean he urged police at the time to look into the woman's claim. He said she feared for her safety, believing Warner may harm her.

 

Police then went to Warner's home, but he didn't answer the door after they knocked several times.

 

 

The cops had a report about him from his girlfriend. They checked with the FBI. The FBI had no information on him. That was that. When the cops went to his house, he didn't answer and they left.

MNPD has held 10 press conferences this week and didn't mention this ONCE.

Back in the day, people would blow shit up for a political cause, or to bring attention to some injustice, or just as asymmetric retaliation in warfare.

 

In America, 2020, we now have domestic bombings because of uhhhh lizard people 

 

It's like these motherfuckers watched V for the first time and thought it was a documentary.
