Oooh! That’s the first theory I’ve heard that sounds plausible. (I won’t say “makes sense”.) Qanons that fancy themselves pro-life heroes could indeed set up a bomb like this for the purpose of attacking the 5G cell network while minimizing danger to human beings.
If it’s ammonium nitrate, it’s probably right wing gun nuts, too. Tannerite (ammonium nitrate + powdered aluminum) is a favorite compound, since it’s often sold at gun shows. There is a Venn diagram of Qanon and right wing gun nuts, with a fair overlap.
Well, it looks like you nailed it (assuming this DailyMail article is to be believed). It was 5G. The guys father had worked his whole life for BellSouth (now re-combined with AT&T) and died of dementia that it seems the son blamed AT&T for.
Yeah. Have you noticed that they’re still not calling it “domestic terrorism”?

I don’t think it would be a good thing if they did. I understand the impulse to point out the hypocrisy in the way the term is applied by the media. However I think we should use it less or best not at all. “Terrorism” has always been used to obfuscate. There are still people in Gitmo for “terrorism”, it’s just employed to drive people more insane and to support harmful policies. There are already people who want to designate Antifa a terrorist organization etc.
Apparently the explosion disrupted operations at Nashville Airport..

What’s the betting line on Cheetolini using this as an excuse for martial law?

Looks like ammonium nitrate
But the RV wasn’t covered in maga signs…

Google Maps has the blast location labeled. Across the street from the communications substation is fondue restaurant The Melting Pot.
One of the tabloids is suggesting the bomber was an antio-5G whacko, but I haven’t seen this in mainstream news yet.
Good news! It wasn’t a terrorist! It was a white man!

That comment wins the thread, quite decisively.

Lots of details in the story.
Nashville bomber Anthony Warner ‘targeted AT&T after his father who worked for subsidiary died of dementia – fueling his conspiracy theory that 5G is killing people’.
