Nashville officials believe this explosion was an intentional act. Say they got reports of a suspicious vehicle parked outside AT&T (batman building) before it happened. Hazardous devices unit was en route when "significant explosion" happened.

Whatever happened, it is not terrorism.
Muslims rarely detonate before noon, unless they are targeting another Church?
And this is not that. So, It's a mystery?

9/11 happened in the morning.
True. It happened at around 9am which would be the start of the business day.
Terrorists are always looking for maximum carnage, maximum deaths.
Setting a car bomb off on the street at 6:30am on Christmas morning would be a waste of effort.
Not enough people around unless it is someplace that would start early, like a Church.
Why not wait until noon when maximum traffic is on the street?
Can't say what this was, but it did not happen like a typical terrorist attack would.

Not confirmed, there was a 911 call to the police before the explosion. If true, someone was trying to take out the police as much as possible, but we should wait and see what happens.

YEP!
Nobody knows what this was, but, whatever it was it is all Trump's fault!
Liberals are amazingly ignorant of everything, including basic life and basic reality.
No wonder they elected a brain dead old man with dementia. Biden is their role model.
He is just like them.
