If you were doing a false flag domestic terrorist operation just before an election for maxiumum effect (without actually killing one of your own, so not THAT ‘maxiumum’) what would you do?
Bombs to as many on the enemy’s enemy, not just one so it looks like a random one-off
Make it late before the election for largest possible media furvor and largest political impact
Make it late before the election a so that evidence and a suspect are not out yet poking holes and adding question to motive
Don’t actually hurt or kill your side, because well, your trying to win elections, not kill your representatives
“Don’t actually hurt or kill your side, because well, your trying to win elections, not kill your representatives”
Based on what I’ve observed in liberals, they’d have no problem sacrificing a few from their side if they thought it would create a win. As it is, the bombs look like something Willy E. Coyote would cobble together from parts bought off eAcme.com. And, like in The Roadrunner, it looks as if they have gone off humorously in the builder’s Facebook.
