Def intentional. Bomb squad was on way when it blew and they evacuated apartments in the area about an hour before, so they knew it was gonna be bad. I've watched too much 24 and Homeland to think we'll ever get the real answer.

That's awful. Silver lining is it doesn't look like any fatalities so far. Still going to ruin a lot of Christmases. Those businesses have struggled through so much, and now they just get blown up. Can't imagine.

If my revenue was way down I’d take having my business blown up to collect on insurance any day of the week. Which is probably what this is about.

*Thank you Anthony, I see. I thought that might be what he meant, but the reference to the singer threw me off and I thought I was still missing something.

So, Joey, point taken. I’m sure the Apostle Paul is hard to beat, and calling Francis the best Pope in the history of the church was hyperbole.

Still love me some Pope Francis though!

*Boy, sure would be great if this group of rag tag basketball players in UK blue could manage a win tomorrow. I honestly can’t see it happening, but maybe a Christmas miracle will occur! Goooooooo Big Blue!

That message to evacuate is eerie. Seems unlikely to have come from law enforcement. Evacutate from where to where? "Evacuate now" could have sent people running toward danger.

There was an active shooter to lure first responders to the scene before the bomb went off.

The evacuation message was warning people to get out of the area from the shooter.

I was wondering the same thing. If it was from law enforcement then it would appear they had some kind of advance warning. If not from law enforcement then why warn people unless the motive wasn’t to kill only to destroy.

We briefly sold the systems that detect gun fire and are direct linked to EMS. The units can identify caliber and numbers of rounds fired so police have it in advance. Pretty sure Nashville was one of the first to adopt this for their downtown area public spaces.

Cool tech and yeah, that warning made the hairs on my neck stand up.

- Merry Christmas, GYERO.

- Was drunk heading back from a friends the other night in NC...got a message from a buddy in South Beach. Had the Uber swing by my place to pick up my one still packed bag and went to the airport.

Fun 48 hours in Miami.

- Vegas next week for New Years.

- Dino on the playlist all day.

- Nice buzz already.

- Been on a nice little hot streak. Hoping to keeping it going tonight.

Speculation is that ATT was target. This thing blew up right next to a major ATT network/data center on literally the least busy day/time all year for that area.

With as many resources and cameras there are downtown now, they should at least know who did it soon. If the public ever get that’s info, now that’s a good question...

Police just made statement confirming that the warning/voice was coming from the RV.

Yalls mayor sounded/acted like a complete moron earlier. Laughing/giggling, "it's just 2020 being crazy," non sequiturs...might as well have had catsfanbgky give an interview off the street.

Paul wasn't a Pope. Also, only kinda an Apostle. Peter.

Hahahaha! I do have a talent for making things worse! 🤪

Right you are once again! In my defense I am having some tough disc issues in my back and I am taking pain meds until I can get my MRI after New Year. I’m not the sharpest tool in the drawer right now.

Merry Christmas, anyway!

Wife and I are on AT&T and don't have cell service -- possibly because of the Nashville bombing. Odd. Be curious to know if that is true for other GYEROers in these parts.

My sister-in-law is so pregnant her shoes don't fit and she has a go bag with her at all times. They also have a special needs child. Her cell service is AT&T. Thankfully my brother has a Verizon phone through work he can leave with her if she's alone or he would have to stay with her every second until she starts labor to make sure she has the ability to get care.

Good times!

Or he could buy a prepaid burner phone on CDMA network for a cool $15. His contingency plan sounds good as well though.
