Basically it's deplorable country

And that's chock full of deplorables.

You guys need to think like a guy they just wants to blow something up while not killing anyone.

except you know, exploding literally parked next to the AT&T building.

ah yes

not a target.

Clearly not a Target...

just randomly exploding in the middle of the road.

this is fine.

He didn't even park on the side of the road with the Brazilian restaurant.

😄

Somebody synthesized a significant amount of explosives and created the primary explosives to detonate the aforementioned explosives.

They did this at great risk.

You think it's random?

That's literally a nutty concept

Look empty restaurants (that downtown don’t usually open till lunch time) to the left and a sturdy brick building that isn’t a apartment complex to the right. Low risk of hurting someone Christmas Day

You guys are not looking for the simplest explanation first

James.

So what is it,

He had a warning system to evacuate.

Right he wanted to minimize killing someone

He picked a time and waited until there was as little people as possible.

That was top priority for him

He shot a gun multiple times (most likely) to wake people up.

Thus he also picked a spot that would aide in that goal

Why do you think that is James?

WHY NOT BLOW UP IN A FIELD JAMES?

They were speculating on those newscasts that the gunshots were on the recording or on the computerized whatever..

Why circle the area for 4 hours.

Because a street is more dramatic

Maximize drama without killing someone

Then why not blow up next to a concert?

To make sure the streets are as empty as possible

Because that’s high risk of hurting someone

One of his primary goals was to make sure no one got hurt

I mean, you could blow up next to a concert without hurting people.

Thats too risky . Early in the day people will be around

That would be a lot more dramatic if there was thousands of people around...
