Think it’s pretty much been confirmed as a bomb, but it certainly doesn’t seem to have been placed to target killing many people - if any. That stretch is pretty much uninhabited at that time of the morning - especially during Christmas. Makes me wonder if it exploded before getting close to the courthouse which is about 300 yards up the hill.

Ugh. So discouraging to see Nashville this last year starting to head down the road so many of our great cities have headed. I hope the good people there can stop it or turn things around and kick the detractors to the curb. What a bummer. And on Christmas morning.....
Glad no one was hurt.

I'm just reading the story. It's chilling. A bomb announcement with a countdown... That's a complete mindfuck.

It seems someone may have been killed. Just read something about potential human remains found nearby. WTF is wrong with people?

Starting to wonder if it wasn't a heist.. it would draw all the cops, it knocked out power and communications for a few blocks, it would set off a lot of alarms in the surrounding areas that would mask the real alarm..
They chose a day where nobody would be at work and a time when nobody would be out in the area. They made an audio announcement to make sure people were warned and the cops would be called..
Wonder what's valuable in the general area..?

I think it’s some Ted Kascynski type. Anti technology. Took out a major regional ATT hub. But who knows. Could be a disgruntled Spaghetti Factory worker from across the street. Someone mentioned it’s like the plot of Mr. Robot. And I think they’re thinking the remains might be from the perpetrator.

I just saw some things that said a major part of what happens at that ATT center had to do with NSA Surveillance.

There are more homeless people as a result of this. Very sad.

Heard there was a music studio or two + a famous tattoo parlor that got demolished on this street. Is this true? Does anyone know the studio owners? I’m not too familiar w/ Nashville but I do know they call the music areas “ Studio Row & Music Row “ . Was this area affected at all by this bombing? I am a very positive person 95% of the time but this has me wondering what’s next Def hoping there isnt any further aftermath.

Could be a disgruntled Spaghetti Factory worker from across the street. Or a patron. I won't discount these theories.

This was on second avenue right in front of an ATT hub and if memory serves correctly, a spaghetti factory is right across the street. This most likely has something to do with ATT/communications.

I’m a Republican and I don’t believe any of these conspiracy theories about this having to do with the election. All the rumors are crazy.

The question and danger of these conspiracy theories is what did / does the bomber believe? In trying to understand my own attacker, and his mental illness, I learned that god, the devil, aliens and secret government technologies are the most often rationalized sources of the voices in ones head ( did you know I was the devil? It was news to me). The thing is the more these conspiracies are given any weight in reality it’s more likely someone with severe mental illness will take them seriously and act dangerously.
