    My mom used to work at ATT (retired there). The first thing she said was - they were probably targeting ATT. She said they got bomb threats here in Houston all of the time. Not sure why. Didn't ask.

    Mr. Law and Order Trump has yet to even make a statement about a suicide bombing in America on Christmas Day.

    Or possibly a QAnon 5G conspiracy theorist.

    Nashville blast: officials identify Anthony Warner as the bomber | US news | The Guardian

    Steve Fridrich, a realtor who contacted the FBI after hearing the man’s name on a news bulletin, told WSMV that federal agents had asked him if Warner had a paranoia about 5G technology.

    Promoted by the rightwing cult movement QAnon, among others, the conspiracy theory makes wild claims about 5G, the next generation technology that delivers high speed internet access to mobile phone networks. As well as believing 5G is a spying tool of the deep state, theorists claim the technology causes cancer and helps spread coronavirus.

    You would have to blow up all the towers. Also the cell phones themselves transmit at 5g frequencies. If this guy had the technical ability to build a bomb I am guessing he had a basic understanding of radio transmission.

    Honestly, that was my first thought on his silence. Thought he was waiting to hear the skin color, race, or affiliation, even though a terrorist is a terrorist.

    IIRC ATT’s 5G is not real 5G.

    Just saying.

    I'm already seeing people posting conspiracy theories that this bombing was related to the election. Just saw this morning a Trump supporter on FB posting that AT&T was taking on the auditing of Dominion voting systems in GA.

    He possibly turned himself into a Qanon 5G suicide bomber. If he used his head for things other than selectively convincing himself Qanon is legit he would not have built a bomb and blown himself up potentially taking others with him.

    I am just thinking he probably had a beef with AT&T more than being a 5g nut, but I could be wrong.

    based on below, motive unknown but you probably can rule out disgruntled employee

    FBI looking at 5g paranoia and other leads

    https://www.fox6now.com/news/anthony-quinn-warner-what-to-know-about-the-nashville-bombing-suspect

    Sources say Warner was a computer consultant who worked as an independent contractor for Fridrich & Clark Realty, a Nashville-based real estate firm.

    Fridrich and Clark’s president Steve Fridrich told Fox News that Warner was never an employee at the company but occasionally serviced its computers. Fridrich said that Warner announced his retirement earlier this month and has had no further contact with the company since that time.

    "Upon learning that Tony is a suspect in the bombing on 2nd Avenue on Christmas morning, Fridrich & Clark notified the authorities that he had provided IT services to our firm," the company said. "The Tony Warner we knew is a nice person who never exhibited any behavior which was less than professional."

    A source close to the investigation told WSMV, Nashville’s NBC affiliated TV station, that agents were probing whether Warner was paranoid about 5G technology supposedly being used to spy on Americans.
