Remember, there was a secondary explosion heard in the video I sent. I think this may be the beginning of a series of bombings.

It only came up on Reuters an hour ago, and it's Christmas Day so not many journalists are on duty.

[edit] I totally got the Reuters time wrong.

I see so many people talking about civil war in America because of the election, well this is what it looks like. Outside their heroic and delusional fantasies (whether they are Trump supporters or left wing or whatever), it's horrific. There's nothing heroic about bombing a residential block. I really hope no one died from this.

I don’t think this attack is actually something of that kind.. More like Austin bombing or Las Vegas shooting. I mean we can claim that one person is waging war on humanity which is political in that sense but other than that..

At this point, can't claim anything other than an RV went boom and we are pretty sure it was somewhat intentional.

These are the two most likely scenarios. But there are other ones too.

I think we should be patient and let more info come out.

Well that is just fucking lovely. A potential bomber on the loose who seemingly has access too or capability to make some powerful explosives. Definitely a bad day for Nashville.

I am sure there are, and it may have been targeted at first responders, it may have been intended for later in the day, and the bomber blew it up remotely when it was discovered. Lotta maybes still
