    1. Explain the ‘hypocrisy’ from your point of view then, I would love to argue it if you just inherited it from a 2 minute youtube clip from a leftwing news source

    1. @Banned for Telling The Truth My comprehension is just fine. Why don’t you clarify the point? The original person to post is a troll, kind of like you.

    1. @midgetydeath I work in the medical field. you have the right to refuse any medical evaluation (the includes psych) unless you are psych petitioned or have AMS. That is the law. You can’t force anyone to have a psych evaluation for no legitimate reason, it can be denied by the psych center.

    1. No. A suicide bomber has to blow themselves up intentionally and we don’t know anything about why this guy did what he did.

    2. @Hudson Donald By definition they have to do it with the intention of taking other people out

    3. @Banned for Telling The Truth right because it makes total sense for someone to say it’s BLM about this Qanon, lizard people believing nutjob.. yep

  1. Let’s not forget the woman that reported it because he threatened her. She was considered ‘crazy’ and sent off for psychological evaluation.

    1. While I take your point, she may well have had a legitimate & urgent need for psychiatric care. The flipside, of course, is whether others with a legitimate urgent need receive care? Best wishes to yours.

    2. When she was talking to the police.. she said he believed that 5g murders people, as well as saying that he believed there are lizard people.. I’m wondering if they want her evaluated because of how crazy she sounded.

  2. I’ve noticed that in interviews, they are pushing the “He was a really quiet guy” narrative.
    Call him what he really was, a domestic terrorist!

    1. @Ricky Fontaine agreed.. I believe there are 2 Qanon members in Congress now.. and who knows how many are undercover qs

    2. @always banned what same thing?? The guy in California was a suicide bomber too?… Just curious why you felt the need to bring that into this.. are you trying to say, what exactly?

    3. @OnTheLake I have tried looking for the original article, but there’s a whole new cycle now, but you can check this out.. oh isn’t Qanon conspiracies about trump saving the country from a dem cabal who eat babies and pedos?

  3. I thought so and mentioned it in previous post that there was something awfully strange about the reporting in the investigation of this. It turns out that once again a concerned Citizen notified law-enforcement, and they dropped the ball. The FBI was notified and the FBI dropped the ball. Fortunately only this guy was killed but it could’ve been much more catastrophic had he said his bomber during a busy time of the day. We were also told a lie because either the police or the FBI said this guy was not on their radar. We were lied to.
    The important thing we have to remember here is that the police were informed by a concerned Citizen and nothing was done until the bomb went off.

    1. They just gently tapped on the door and was like “no one here” and just left. Never to do anything about it again.

    2. T.R. Campbell *” The important thing we have to remember here is that the police were informed by a concerned Citizen and nothing was done until the bomb went off.”*
      This isn’t true and it isn’t the issue at hand. The police _did_ in fact follow up. They _did_ report it up the chain and to the FBI. However their own rules, dictated by “muh freedoms”, meant they couldn’t go on to his property or detain him without evidence…

      HOWEVER, if he were brown or black or had a name like Hassan, then the gloves would have come off. All procedural rules would have been tossed to one side and the cops would have jumped the fence in a heartbeat.

      I do agree however that the cops lied about having this guy on their radar. Either they lied or whatever internal rules they have meant that he dropped off the radar after a time with no evidence supporting the initial complaint.

      Either way the system failed, but it’s not true to claim the police did nothing. They followed their procedures which require them to err on the side of “muh freedoms”. But let’s not kid ourselves: if the guy were black or brown “muh freedoms” wouldn’t have stopped them going after him immediately.

      TL;DR – it’s complicated and completely f**ked up

    3. @Aj Meyers the police officials talked to the man’s attorney and he told them that his client wasn’t fond of police and didn’t want them searching his RV… Well that’s not at all concerning.. the system has indeed failed.. Nashville police said they did not have a terrorist task force and would rectify that.. they definitely failed

    1. Probable cause was not obtained. If they went in without permission, anything found inside would have been inadmissible in court… and he wouldnt have been convicted of anything.

  4. this is why the police force is ineffective. we do not need double standards within a force that is here to “protect and serve.”

  5. So a black man gets shot dead in the driveway because of reports that a car is being run off and on on the property, and white man here don’t even get his door kicked down after being reported he was making 💣 in his rv… how much more intel do the cops need???

    1. Of course the cops never do their jobs. Yet our politicians will say we need NEW laws to stop this from happening.

    2. Exactly, Nashville police officials said that they didn’t have a terrorist task force and are rectifying the situation.. I feel safer already 🙄🙄

  6. Here’s where we lose the freedom from illegal search and seizure by the police under the guise of “protection”.

  7. Notice how he’s being referred to as the “Nashville Bomber” in the media but NOT a “Terrorist”… -__-
