    1. @William Steed Also, I don’t google, they’re evil. Like your evil leaders, who rightly call them evil. All part of the same big cesspool.

    2. The government set this up the way they did 911. How tf you can’t find suspects unless they’ll blame and payoff a black man again saying he did it

    3. @Woo Cainwrong, this has Chinas fanger prints all over it. that voice on tha loudspeaker sounded like a chinese accent. Joe Byedone is a Chinese puppet

    4. @hillbilly beer dranker Wrong Chinese people can hardly drive a small car let alone an Rv. Definitely Trump-Russia-Maga notice Trump is MIA.

  1. The bomb exploded with police were surrounding the van…someone, somewhere, was watching them. Domestic terrorism. Again.

    1. The government set this up the way they did 911. How tf you can’t find suspects unless they’ll blame and payoff a black man again saying he did it

    2. We reap what we sow. The last many years I have seen satanic hatred spewed out from the mouths of most everyone in USA. Let alone your systemic racism and vile aggression toward all.

    3. I bet it was one of Trump’s GOOFY, DERANGED Supporters at it again. Can’t win an election, now they switch to blowing SH!T up. smh

  2. Wow who would ever be grateful for a shots fired call to try to Head this off. Good lord. What has become of our country?

    1. @Josh Young do they? That made the hair on my neck stand up like Pervy Joe’s on his legs…when he learned about roaches.

    2. c2itccase9: Russian state media (Putin) offered trump asylum if his charges with any crime. Sounds like his in the bed with a Communist leader. Russia placed boundaries on U.S. forces and Russians hack top U.S. governments departments computers and 45 is silent. However you can continue places it all on the Democrats or the fake media if that makes you feel better. But if trump placed one of his golf clubs up your behind you would still place the blame on someone else. Have a good life.

    3. It always WAS a shithole. Now you have woken up and seen it for the vile society that it truly is. No surprises anymore……

    1. @RocketmanRockyMatrix proud boys and bigot slime like you make me ashamed to call myself a conservative….. You’re the kind problem we helped the German people get rid of in WW2…..

    2. @William Condon the blackwater murderers were convicted for killing innocent children….. LOTS OF EVIDENCE….. Pardoning them destroys a decade of hard fought credibility….. Betraying our Kurdish allies destroys a decade of hard-fought partnership…. I have military friends that commited suicide after watching their Kurdish allies get executed by Turkish controlled ISIS forces…..

    1. @Frail Bones Biden umm right wing racist are and have been the biggest threat in america for decades. Literally. In the really real world, these people murder their fellow citizens. Its not a secret

    2. @Frail Bones Biden you been smoking too much kraken there boy. It’s turning your brain into meathead, dead from the neck up. Boy.

    3. @Tammatha Rogers you have been smoking too much kraken there girl. Turning you into a meathead, dead from the neck up.

  3. Intentional? You mean as in “the opposit of the accidental explosion of that bomb you were traveling around with”?

    1. In Washington d.c., two weekends ago the terrorist proud Boyz and Trump terror tourists burned property at 4 churches including 2 historic African American churches. We’ve already seen the maga terror tourists in d.c. These people will destroy America if they cannot have their dictator Trump.

    2. @Juan Conrad I wouldn’t jump to conclusions tho, as i’m from Europe, when i hear “bomb + christmas”, i’m like “hmm… is allah being great again?”. But i certainly am worried about the situation with your current madman in chief as well… For now, let’s just all be just happy that no human casualties were involved, building are just buildings, made and rebuilt; can’t rebuild people!

    1. @wild knights™ – The real domestic terrorists are the ones that are calling for martial law and the appointing of a dictator. Get real.

    2. @YouTube Moderator those guys you are referring to don’t have that much money to buy an RV, they also don’t HATE our Country. The Fascists are creeping

  4. Thank Goodness for our police officers. I hope those injured will be okay. Other should stay alert. These are not normal times. Thank you police officers.

    1. @Ahi viene youtube moderator is a GRU FANCY BEAR ACCOUNT. Russian military intelligence disinformation program bot.
      Report it

    2. @mark Evans you are even stupider than willy. I suppose you are a homophobe too! Trump lost. You have been conned by#donthecon. Quit smoking the kraken. It’s turning your brain into mush.

    3. @Squashed8Ball willy also goes by @thetweadles and just plain old @William H. The dude is a broken record. Copy and paste artist.

    1. @YouTube Moderator We want the military defunded as well, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want national defense. It means we want responsible military action that isn’t wasteful and doesn’t unnecessarily result in the deaths of American citizens.

    2. @YouTube Moderator Its not about the police they keep awarding. Who knows the cops probably did just to get recognition. Its there job to protect and serve anyway

    3. @NoneOfYour Beeswax Really? Officers were alert enough to choose to go into buildings warning residents to evacuate. They didn’t wait for other authorities to evaluate the situation. They went into harms way not knowing anything other than a threat of an bomb was made. They didn’t know if it was a prank, an M80 or a freaking dirty bomb. The officers, who started evacuations probably broke quite a few protocols doing so. Because, they acted quickly, lives were saved, injuries were kept to minimum.

    4. @YouTube Moderator You have no clue what defund the police even means. Coming from the county, which has been used as the model of defund the police. I know what I’m talking about. I know what my taxes are paying for. Defund the police does not mean get rid of police. It means the specific police divisions are so broken, they need to be dissolved. In Camden, NJ, there was corruption, lack of proper funding (80% of the city is in poverty) and police were ineffective. So the Camden City Police Department was abolished. The State police provided policing in the city until the Camden County Police took over. Camden County Police were funded, by the county, to be the police for Camden. They were able to create the programs necessary to become an effective police force. They even hired some of the Camden officers. They didn’t have to fight to change old, ineffective mindsets. It was set up to be present and participate in the community. Because of the new police force, crime has dropped dramatically. People cooperate with the police. There are still problems because we are talking about extreme poverty, which facilitates crime but it’s nothing like being considered one of the worst crime cities it used to be.

    1. I bet it was done by some very disgruntled AT&T employees.
      OR the msm because they knew about it 12 hours before it happened. I have the screenshots to prove it!
      Yep! Sure do!

    2. So many now with nowhere to live, showed young blonde girl got out with her boots and little dog so sad,, on Christmas Day

  5. We call events like this “terrorism” when it happens in other countries, here it’s called “intentional”.

    1. Your ignorance is showing. An incident like this would be deemed a terrorist attack if the motive was for political/religious purposes. We don’t know the motive behind this, and we don’t know who is responsible either

  6. There was a loudspeaker warning it was going to explode in 15 minutes. What makes them think it was intentional?

    1. The government set this up the way they did 911. How tf you can’t find suspects unless they’ll blame and payoff a black man again saying he did it

    1. Trump was doing damage to the potato heads just by mere playing golf ! Don’t need bombs just golf and heads explode

    2. @josh esquivel Trump was insinuating violence coming from the left if he were to become president. And he’s not wrong either, businesses didn’t board up because of trump supporters. They were boarded up because of Antifia.

    1. @Jarry Sciligo I agree it is amazing how history repeats it self when we are told to learn by its example 🤔

    2. The government set this up the way they did 911. How tf you can’t find suspects unless they’ll blame and payoff a black man again saying he did it
