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...

He didnt want to hurt anyone @busillis

How do you terrorize people without hurting them?

Minimize that risk as much as possible

So the next time you're near an RV and it says get away this is a bomb everybody runs away?
