Interesting to see what the residue analysis turns up. Tannerite, or a few hundred pounds of something home made?

Seems like an attempt to minimize casualties. Very strange, unclear what motivation was.

Pure speculation - the person wanted to do maximum property damage - but not human casualty damage

This is a photo of the RV arriving (headlights on). Look at the driver - does he look like he is dressed as a swat cop with a helmet & plastic shield over his face? That’s one way to blend in later j/s

If you can see the driver you have a better computer than I do. Too much glare.

Any relationship to Devon Dalio’s Audi which drove into a Verizon store and blew up last week? https://news.yahoo.com/devon-dalio-son-billionaire-ray-031234980.html

If it was antifa it could be that they were afraid of actually killing somebody because they would end up going to jail for a very long time. Also, does Tennessee have a death penalty? They could be avoiding the death penalty.

Their lawyers could have told them that if they do a warning and somebody in the area gets killed or injured, they can have their sentence reduced from murder to a lesser charge.

Was Breona Taylor living in Tennessee or Kentucky? They might say it was justice for Breona.

the person wanted to do maximum property damage

They destroyed a major communications node between the coasts. The RV was parked directly over the main cable trunk leading into and out of the AT&T building.

It is annoying that there isn’t a thread linked in the sidebar. I guess it’s not NYC, LA, or DC, and no one died, so not worthy to be on the sidebar.

Santa gets a top billing sidebar. This story gets nothing. Pretty pathetic.

They have built a bunch of new new sky scrapers in the last decade and are in the process of building a whole bunch more the last couple years.
I've heard one suggestion today that probably some one with a lot of money or some very crooked like a swamp dwelling politician would have no problem secretly blowing up a few old building to declare them unsafe so they could bull doze them down and build a whole new bunch of sky scrapers down town.

Is there any significance about this location?

Yeah most of the building in this area are old 4-5 story building, I could see some one wanting to get rid of a few blocks of these old building to building a bunch of sky scrapers, or something like a gambling casino, or some small amusement park, anything for some crooked person to pocket a bunch of money while blaming some deplorable.

Taylor was in Kentucky.. Louisville is nearly a ground zero for the anarchist groups (Sunshine Network, BLM and Antifa).

And, yes. TN has the death penalty.

I am glad that Tennessee has the death penalty. I think that the warning was to protect the bombers from legal consequences of their actions such as long jail sentences or the death penalty, not out of concern for the nearby residents.

The bombers were probably lawyered up with the smartest left wing lawyers available who no doubt have warned them of the consequences. If the bombers are caught, the lawyers will drag the proceedings on for many months hoping the public will have forgotten about what happened. The media will barely mention it and when they have to mention it they will be sure to mention that the bombers took care to warn residents. This will be to make them seem to be caring people. After a couple of years the lawyers will make attempts to have them freed from jail on the excuses that they were young idealist who really meant to do know harm. This will not even make the television news. All forgotten.

Oh, I almost forgot, if they are shown being taken into court they will, no doubt be wearing covid19 masks which serves a double purpose, to protect them from covid19 and to cover their identity.
