Been watching the news about it. I'm thinking it was a dry run for something else.
It taking out some Communications, the time done, the recording, I think they got the specifics they wanted. Add to it that Tennessee is a Red State, they really didn't want to hurt their own.
I can't shake the feeling that it was practice for a Blue Target. I hope I'm wrong.

Minimize collateral damage, sensationalize the coverage, the one person gets disappeared & the evidence is really hard to collect.
It's long been a suspicion that this was the method used in the Tylenol poisonings.
Except in that case, the collateral damage was part of the cover up.
Have LE looking for a serial killer, when it was really a mass murder with one specific target.
Even the FBI brought that hypothesis forward.
Not saying that's what happened here, but I wouldn't put it past a hitman to do it.

Street cameras everywhere, cell phone cameras, receipts digital and otherwise, today's forensics ... on and on and on ... especially for something happening downtown in a major city. If whoever did this is not caught in a very short time then I would go into more sinister speculation. But now is not the time. Peace.

Cannot afford to say a word until perps dead or apprehended.

I'm sure the FBI is investigating all possibilities.

(6,268 posts)I think they are planning a bunch of these at the same time all over the country and political assassinations.
Which is why t pardoned the murderers from Blackwater.
I think that you are correct and that it is a rehearsal.
It is the endless idea that these people are stupid that puts us at a disadvantage.
There are very competent people planning a takeover. They have infiltrated the military and many police and sheriffs offices.
I am hoping that I am wrong. But knew t would win when Brexit passed.
