"Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said police received a report of a suspicious vehicle and upon investigating the report, officers called the hazardous devices unit. When the unit responded to the area, the vehicle exploded.

Witnesses told investigators they heard gunshots early in the morning and a message coming from an RV parked in the street warning anyone in the area to evacuate. Officers said they are looking into these reports."

This looks much worse than what is being reported. Cries of help are coming from what appears to be the remnants of collapsed buildings and under debris.

well it looks like the attack was directed towards First Responders now the question is who and what their motive actually was. I'm thinking maybe a conspiracy theorist attack first responders maybe in relation to the Covid vaccine roll out?

Sounds like some one is trying to attack first responders directly while possibly trying to follow some code of the report of the warning is true.

Of course with damage caused they’ve gone behind the at point if that’s what they where trying to do.

Sounds deliberate. I think there's a 90% chance it was either a far right winger or far left winger who did it.

Right now my feeling is that it’s an attack on the cops...or it’s really just a mentally disturbed individual..

Welcome to the Nekostan-e Gharbi. Our ancestors were a group of genetically enhanced Israeli cats raised by two Iranian Jewish women, Rachel Davidi and Esther Moshel. We are a constitutional monarchy where a line of benevolent and powerless feline queens “guide” the citizens or more precisely are the subject of their constant gossiping.

Current Queen: Sarah IV (House of Moshel)
Current Prime Minister: Dr. Elisheva Cohen (she is fine with Elizabeth for non-Hebrew speakers) from Likud

Well yeah, I'm just saying I doubt it was some guy mad that the pizza place ran out of parmesan. It was probably related to the absolute state of this republic.

This just seems to pre-planned for some guy who thinks aliens are spying on his brain. My guess is it either was someone who was pissed Trump lost the election or an antifa type who wanted to kill the police, but right now it isnt certain.

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.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.
