The Nashville bomber was apparently a suicide — 22 Comments

  1. Rather clearly planned well in advance since he had given two houses to the woman in LA.
    I wonder if she has any insight into what drove him to it; and would we ever be told if she does?

    There was some reference to an obsession with 5G, which implies some emotional instability. (Since about 11/4 I have had experience with obsessions/conspiracy suspicions, and how they affect emotions)

    I read somewhere that his father had worked for AT&T. I don’t recall reading what his own profession/employment was. Nor have I seen anything about family other than the reference to his Mother supplying DNA; and to his Father’s (presumably deceased) employment.

  2. It’s amazing what the FBI can do when there’s no Russian collusion angle or Biden laptop.

    Years ago, I would have seen this headline and thought, “Well, good. They got to the bottom of it.” But the FBI has destroyed its credibility to such a degree that I no longer trust their pronouncements of guilt, innocence or culpability.

    Once credibility is lost, it can’t be easily regained, if it can be regained at all. At this point, it’s just as easy, and plausible to believe a conspiracy theory as whatever the FBI tells us is the truth.

  3. “Some people who commit suicide want to send a message.”

    Indeed. There’s a saying that “every suicide has an element of revenge.”

  4. So Stephen Paddock 2.0. We got the guy, he executed well, but who knows what it was about.

    I figure it’s 50-50 we find out. Or … ominously … they let us know.

    At least Warner tried not to kill others.

  5. Yes, apparently it was a suicide. Not that we can trust the FBI. But there is enough collaborating evidence to indicate it to be a suicide.

  6. So Stephen Paddock 2.0. We got the guy, he executed well, but who knows what it was about.

    We have a fair idea:

    1. He was a 63 year old childless bachelor.

    2. There is reason to believe he was having trouble earning a living

    3. His proximate relatives were his mother, his sister, and a nephew. If you didn’t grow up with your cousins, building relationships with them as adults can be very hit-and-miss. And if you have only three relatives, there’s a certain probability that you don’t mesh well with any of them. Every see the film About Schmidt?

    4. Not a gregarious man. He had two near neighbors who’d lived cheek by jowl with him for > 25 years. By their description, he was transactionally pleasant, and that’s about all.

  7. People still claiming they don’t believe fake news while believing fake news. Learn.

    Once credibility is lost, it can’t be easily regained, if it can be regained at all. At this point, it’s just as easy, and plausible to believe a conspiracy theory as whatever the FBI tells us is the truth.

    How did the FBI find the passports in hours, and how did they survive the explosion, 2001?

    Counter: News reported it to be legit.

    Y: STOP BELIEVING IN FAKE NEWS.

  8. Yammer is back indeed with a rehash of the 9/11 theme “the passports.” Another conspiracy for little q?

  9. RE; the credibility of the FBI and it’s “investigations” and “explanations.”

    Of a myriad of recent examples, I offer the “mysterious” unsolved case of the October 2017 Vegas massacre which killed 58, and which has plenty of weird pieces of information, lots of strange goings on, but no known motive or resolution of the case.

  10. While I’m at it, Trump has been the rock upon which practically every contemporary institution of power–and a whole host of major figures in our society as well–have foundered, have revealed themselves to be a bunch of poseurs, as Leftist ideologues, and nowhere near as benevolent, glorious, intelligent, and informed institutions and figures as they have been, and liked to be portrayed as.

  11. In fact, once you start to doubt the competence, objectivity, patriotism, dedication, and loyalty of the FBI to our Republic, to our political system, and to our Constitution (and, then, start to have creeping suspicions about other parts of our government and other major institutions), and start looking backward in time, the number of high profile cases over the last several decades that then come into question just keeps growing.

  12. In fact there are conspiracies and there are folks that think everything is a conspiracy, and in fact there is a difference between the two. But why stop believing that everything is a conspiracy? Rationality.

  13. Immediately labeling something as a “conspiracy theory” (while usually offering no actual evidence to show why what is being asserted–and summarily dismissed–is actually a conspiracy theory) is just one easy way for people to dismiss something, rather than to spend some time actually investigating it (often, I suspect, because they don’t think they will like what they will find out if they do).

  14. Where did he get a large vanful of ammonium nitrate? I thought that was pretty much verboten to non-farmers after OKC.
    Can any one go out these days and purchase several tons of the stuff these days? You know, to grow grass and all?

  15. Of a myriad of recent examples, I offer the “mysterious” unsolved case of the October 2017 Vegas massacre which killed 58, and which has plenty of weird pieces of information, lots of strange goings on, but no known motive or resolution of the case.

    We have a satisfactory knowledge of what happened. What we do not know are his motives. One curio is that the media never tried to run with it to advance a gun confiscation narrative, SOP in other cases. Since the media is an extension of the DNC press office, I’d have to conclude that people like John Podesta and Debbie Medusa Schultz didn’t want to use it for some reason.

  16. Immediately labeling something as a “conspiracy theory” (while usually offering no actual evidence to show why what is being asserted–and summarily dismissed–is actually a conspiracy theory) is just one easy way for people to dismiss something, rather than to spend some time actually investigating it (often, I suspect, because they don’t think they will like what they will find out if they do).

    People are inclined to label things ‘conspiracy theories’ because they’d prefer to discuss how the pieces of the puzzle fit together, rather than someone else’s imaginary scenarios.

  18. Has anyone considered as a possible motive, having to deal with AT&T’s customer service department?
