So he wasn't after causing human casualties, but apparently did cause destruction on purpose. At first look parking in front of the AT&T building was a deliberate choice. Perhaps he was motivated by a personal grievance or a conspiracy theory. 5G is just one off the top of the list.
No reason to award him Mr. Congeniality, however.
Nobody did that. I just pointed out that we needed to look for another motive than killing.
Well, perhaps. Perhaps not killing the public so much as -- wait for it -- attempting to lure first responders onto the scene and put them (undertatement) manifestly in harm's way by imagining them soldiers in an ongoing conflict -- a tactic the IRA used to use to lure British LE to bombings: the IRA didn't care so much for sparing the lives of punters down the pub in Birmingham as they did wanting to execute police personnel when they phoned in warnings beforehand.
Yes, but why the countdown? That would keep everyone away. Unless there was a deliberate delay in detonation (admittedly a delay was reported) I don't see it as malicious.
I understand your point, but detonating an RV full of explosives in downtown Nashville is in fact malicious, no matter if only the bomber himself expires.
I meant that the countdown likely wasn't included to cause more harm. That's just MO.
It looks like the final recipient of the first house (mentioned in the article) might be a close relative of his, so perhaps there's nothing weird going on after all.
He’s probably related to this lady, closely or not. The not telling her about the second house is really weird though. Why her and not someone else?
IMO he's related to the other lady, but maybe not a blood relative to the younger one. Obviously he trusted her. I can understand not telling her the second time - she would have been asking questions.
