First off, I hope nobody was hurt.

Secondly: Nice reference to the movie Christmas Vacation!

Well, that might give a new meaning to “country music.”

I know that. But will it make a difference? The evidence suggests otherwise.

The FBI has EARNED Americas distrust.
The less they are involved the more I will trust the outcome of any investigation.

Were there gunshots at the scene prior to the explosion?

“Ever hear a country song about a cat? Me either”

LOL. Nope....but this excerpt of one by Carrie Underwood is a little unnerving:

“I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
I slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats”

You know what they say....hell hath no fury...

Yes, right in front of an AT&T building. Building is not marked. Contains IT equipment. Has been there for years.

Police were called at 6 am due to shots fired in the area. Police saw RV, called bomb squad and went door to door to clear apartments/hostel in the area. One policeman knocked to ground and one lost hearing because they were in the area.

My theory. Someone fired shots to get police in the area to kill police with a bomb. Thankfully failed. So far only hearing about 3 minor injuries.

What did you do? Call out the 11/03 election fraud and predict the same in Georgia on 01/05?

Exactly. I'm think the BLM faction that hates police did this. The police were called to the scene to investigate shots fired just before the bomb exploded.

This is the opening shot of the Kamala Harris presidencies war on America..

A first impression if timer worked as intended... bombing is an act of revenge (with casualties being a lesser goal).
Revenge against an employer.
Revenge against a corporation.
Revenge against a business.
Revenge against an individual.

If not an act of revenge, definitely an intentional act of terrorism (with casualties a primary goal).

Odd location, considering the timing of the bomb’s detonation if intentionally set to go off at 0630 local time.
Unless the timer malfunctioned.
Mass casualties highly probable if the bomb had detonated earlier (6-12 hours back in time)

Odd timing of bomb detonation, unless the timer malfunctioned.

Or, unless the bomber was attempting to keep the number of casualties to a minimum.
Which would point to a targeted location.
Which likely means a domestic bomber.
Which likely means a local bomber.

Bomb compound(s) TNT vs plastic explosives or two-part liquid design.

TNT based bomb... more likely domestic actor.

Plastic explosives or two-part liquid bomb design... leaning towars international terrorist or ROP actor, but not ruling out the use of TNT by same.

Bomb energy / violence / damage- portends two-part liquid design, which points to an international terrorist or embedded sleeper actor- ROP.

RV is an open space / “soft” container that would absorb some of the bomb’s energy vs a more compact container like a cement truck or other piece of heavy equipment where the bomb might be hidden deep within the frame / engine compartment, increasing the bomb’s power. Greater masses of shrapnel ejected from heavy vehicle / confined steel compartments.

Also, the use of a dust initiator like 100 lb bags of cement or flour surrounding the bomb can amplify the bomb’s force.

Wrapping the bomb with gas bottles like oxygen, acetylene, propane, etc. can amplify the bomb’s power.

Mentioning these options because they would be available on the local market. International terrorists AND local yokels alike could use these tools.

Good job to local police for alerting on the RV and then evacuating as many local residents as time allowed.

Interesting street view on Google maps.

Plug in 176 Second Avenue North, Nashville Tennessee to Maps. The big brick building is clearly marked AT&T, but the occupant to its right (facing the building) has the second story blurred out, straight on, where from either side, it just shows the same blank brick.

Hmm.

Thank you for posting serious news/information images instead of idiotic humor memes.

Odd timing of bomb detonation, unless the timer malfunctioned.

Busy area, but not at 6:30am. Odd that it blew 30 minutes after it was identified, almost as if it was remote and they wanted it to at least blow and not be found intact. On a nice day the block with the wild horse saloon, one block away has hundreds of pedestrians. Other clue, Christmas Day, a religious Holiday.
