if its white , can't be called terrorism

So strange this. From the recording telling people to flee, to the fact that no message appears to have been left explaining it.

SUICIDE BOMBER.

How do you know that this bombing was not a black man. There was no Mug Shot used on the story. These are the systems that covertly program our society.

If the person responsible was a Trump fan it was probably a malfunction.

More likely he was already dead. A patsie that owned the truck. You should be focusing on what went on during the comms blackout.

DNA tests can't say whether 'suspect' was dead or alive at time of the blast.

Or... He was already dead.

There's definitely more to this.

& no manifesto or suicide note? Now we have to make conjecture as to his reasoning. My guess is, TrumpVirus stress. TermLimits KillTheCollege FreedomFromReligion NoQ

Or someone stole his rv, killed him and then blew it up with him inside.

I can ASSume this person IS WHITE, since zero photos have been shown of THIS terrorist! If he were black or brown, we would have known his face, complete arrest record & if he did drugs!

He Darwined himself

🇺🇸 Homegrown terrorists far outnumber foreign terrorists in the US.

A Trumpist domestic terrorist

Has it been long enough that we can start making jokes?

❤️BITCOIN !!!❤️ December 23rd at $23,000 December 24th hit $24,000 December 25th hit $25,000 December 26th hit $26,000 December 27th hit $27,000 What do you think is in store for tomorrow?!Bitcoin!!!

🤣YA THINK 🙄

So why isn't called a domestic terrorist attack.

Merry Xmas -2020

Maybe. Maybe not.

So we can assume the suspect was white.

What is this beam of light coming from the sky prior to the blast? What is that scorched mark at the same angle on the building? At what temp does hard steel/wrought iron grate covers melt away to nothing?

I’ll say again — I won’t be surprised to hear at some point that this was a trial run.

Let’s call it what it is (and what no one would hesitate to all it if the perpetrator were brown or Muslim) - terrorism.

I believe this person just wanted to make a point and kill themselves because of the terrible State our country is in.

Oh great now we have to deal with vanilla ISIS.

Who radicalized him?

The US is going to look a lot like Israel soon. MAGA is a cultish terror organization and they are radicalizing white nationalists. I suspect these types of explosions will become commonplace.

Seems like this might have been a test of knocking out communications. Suicide? He'd do it at home. Homicide? It would have been timed for afternoon/evening. This was about communication, and it worked. Now imagine simultaneous explosions in key areas... catastrophic.

Any word yet of the Trump administration has put out a statement or are we still pretending that it's no big deal that a bomb went off in a major city in the United States

I suspected this for numerous reasons. Anyone seeing this I’m sending you love and hope that you can find balance in the midst of this chaos.

A terrorist act.

where is a picture of the white bomber , typical bias media

On the plus side that's 1 less person in the US to die from Covid.

A “suicide bombing” in Nashville, Tennessee. This is America.
