Pointless speculation does not help!

OK, listen up you primitive screwheads.

There was a bombing in Nashville, Tennessee this morning. A rather odd bombing that involved a potentially false report to draw police to the scene, a suspicious RV that began blasting a warning and a countdown, and then a powerful explosion.

That's all we know for a fact. No one, at this point has claimed responsibility. There have been, as I write this, no arrests.

I am going to suggest something radical: what for more information before blaming the bombing on anyone. We do not know who, how, or why. We don't know if there was anyone in the RV when it exploded. We don't know if there was a target. The FBI is on the scene, and the crime scene covers several square blocks.

Finally, I shall remind you that on April 18th, 1996, 90% of Americans were absolutely certain that the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK, had been bombed by Arab terrorists. The facts showed otherwise. Wait for the facts.

Human remains have been found near it. At the moment, the cops aren't even certain that they have any connection to the bombing. . . .

There's also the example of the Atlanta Olympics...

...and how that essentially destroyed the life of Richard Jewell.

I see they know now, but my first guess was one or more middle-aged white guys. I was pretty sure it was a white perpetrator because the government wasn't calling him/them terrorists.
