I wonder if the actions of the 6 officers will change the minds and hearts of the 'defund the police' proponents. Ha, ha! I jest of course.

I think we already forgot him. His RV will be remembered - but he will quickly fade into obscurity.

Outside of Nashville he is not even known in the first place. a blip on the nightly news.

What do you all think of this ?? Could it be a Tomahawk Cruise missile which is designed to fly subsonic and low to avoid radar and detection ?? There are several military bases around Nashville. God Bless

Unfortunately not much. The first video was edited for your conspiracy theorist's viewing pleasure. Here's the whole thing. Note that the "chemtrail" initially shoots upwards, then trails off downwards as chemtrails do. Someone simply cut off the beginning to make it look like an aerial attack. (What was it? I'm guessing a propane tank that went ballistic.)
The second vid is harder to explain, but my theory is that the blast occurred in two parts. The initial detonation propelled the main charge, or even the entire RV, across the street, where the main blast went off. Sort of a "bouncing betty" effect. With a bomb of this size, that would be more than possible. This message has been edited. Last edited by: kkina, December 29, 2020 08:25 PM
A standard TLAM (Tomahawk Land Attack Missile) Carries a 1,000 pound HE payload. Honestly, I'm not a BDA guy, but that RV bomb "looks" more like around 500 or less pounds.
^^And the RV may have had quite a bit of propane on-board, as well as fuel.

That (trail) is what is expected if an explosive propels an object, the "vapor" trail, much like the vapor you see when an object is near transonic, creating a pressure/vacuum wake and condensate will appear.
That is why it "goes up" and then "appears" to go down.
The "up" is the trail being formed, and the "down" is the dissipation of the trail.
During many years in weapons development and testing at Eglin AFB, I knew some guys in the explosives' lab that set up and set off explosives, and guys in the photo lab, both still and high speed motion. And I got to see some pretty interesting effects from various blasts.
As for the "explosion happened over here away from the RV", that is possible to either the blast wave, just before the fireball is caught on film, propelling mass to the point the fireball is captured. There is frame per second issue here that does not capture the event and its propagation fast enough.
The lengths people will go to buy into some of the silliness, is amazing.
This was a guy, that had some beef, and decided when he realized (in his mind), he had nothing left to give, nor get in life, that he would try and "memorialize" himself.
Just like hundred of other desperate and depraved people.
(does not discount that his beef may have been or seemed of merit, but that is a whole different issue)

And now that the lab results are back, it's probably been ruled a COVID death.

The body cam footage is fascinating. As the cop walks by the RV, he says something to the effect of, "that building has all the hard lines for the southeast..." I was a network engineer at AT&T for 14 years, and while I actually do know that, I am amazed a cop on the street does.
I also kept wondering how the damage was severe enough to knock out the network for so long, but I am now wondering if he parked the RV over a telecom manhole and the blast damaged the cables directly in the underground conduit.
Finally, it is interesting he was responding to a "shots fired" report, but does not put on his vest until after the explosion. But that is Monday morning quarterbacking at best...

According to AT&T, it was a power issue. The explosion knocked out power to the building and its equipment, and the explosion and subsequent fire and water damage took out their backup generators too. The systems were able to temporarily limp along using battery backups until those batteries ran out, resulting in the outage.
It then took time to get new backup generators in place and hooked up in order to bring the systems back online. And it was only today that external permanent power was finally restored to the building.

Most good cops know their beat...I knew where BB&T sorted checks, which building housed their credit card processing and sundry other things to include the location of a mummified cat carcass on the second floor of an abandoned building one block from the courthouse , and that the white marble water fountain at the corner next to the courthouse used to say “whites” and “colored” in each side but that they had been scrubbed in the 60s and a marble topper placed over each side...
