Nashville police were warned in 2019 that Anthony Warner was making a bomb inside his RV — but nothing was done to stop him.
Warner’s girlfriend told Nashville cops on Aug. 21, 2019, that he “was building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence,” according to a report Tuesday in The Tennessean.
City cops passed the tip off to the FBI and ATF.
But when authorities showed up at Warren’s door no one answered, and a subsequent request to search the property was denied, The Tennessean reported.
Warner’s bomb-making then continued unhindered until Christmas morning, when he detonated explosives in the vehicle and leveled a stretch of downtown Nashville.
Records reviewed by the newspaper show that Raymond Throckmorton, an attorney for the woman, initially called police and said that Warner’s unnamed gal pal was concerned about comments he had made — and didn’t want two guns she said belonged to Warner in her home.
Throckmorton told police Warner “frequently talks about the military and bomb-making,” and “knows what he is doing and is capable of making a bomb,” the records said.
Police saw the RV in Warren’s driveway but it was fenced off so they did not enter.
“They saw no evidence of a crime and had no authority to enter his home or fenced property,” Metropolitan Nashville Police Department spokesman Don Aaron said in a statement to the newspaper.
Nashville PD forwarded the info to the feds, but “the FBI reported back that they checked their holdings and found no records on Warner at all,” Aaron said.

Re: 16 - Agreed. Sometimes crazy is just... crazy. No conspiracy needed.
The guy apparently believed in lizard people.
Probably figured if he knew about the lizard people that he was on the up-and-up.
Re: lizard people - maybe he was looking for a Gorn. Kirk had his hands full with that lizard.
It is possible!
Why not get a warrant? Had she told them he was building a marijuana grow house in there I but they would have done something more and he would already be serving 10+ yrs in prison.
Apparently, he did not want to injure anyone.
It's not that I don't believe he couldn't have had accomplices, but it doesn't seem to have played out in a way that speaks to that.
exactly!
See post 5 - it mentions he was hunting lizard people, etc.
No matter how nutty, how wacko, how violent, how schizo, the guy always has a girlfriend.
Girls...get a CLUE!
Lizard people.
I’m thinking James Carville is breathing a sigh of relief about now.
“FBI was keeping the guy in their database of patsies for just the right occasion.”
DING DING DING..... We have a winner. Nailed it.
Now THAT’S funny!
Or someone wants you to think that.
Cops these days are easily dissuaded from following tips and their hunches. They would have been severely chastised by the courts, the press, the politicians and their own bosses if for whatever reason they searched that RV and actually found the explosives but had “violated” the rights of that lunatic. Fact is that there are many lunatics out there who are operating without fear knowing that the days of the intuitive, effective cop are over.
Well he is a Mad Martian from Mars. Oh wait that’s Ken Starr. Never mind. :)
There are way too many things we don’t know, but I think we can safely assume any woman who would be dating this wierdo, probably has a few screws loose as well. I was simply caught by the language that concludes the cops didn’t do their job. Maybe they did, maybe they dropped the ball, but the article clearly wants you to believe the latter.
So I would need some Harris/Biden stickers If I had a gun safe?
We need to trash the FBI completely and start over from scratch.
The public has lost all confidence in their abilities and reputation.
When Obama politicized them for his pet projects like getting rid of Trump, his rotten apple soured the entire barrel.
?
Reverse psychology?
Or someone wants you to think he’s crazy.
I heard that too but this was just an average everyday suicide /s
