4. This makes me rethink it was just a right wing wanker scenario.

Taking out a 911 link is much more major.

6. I still don't have AT&T phone and text here in Huntsville.

I'm 100 miles south of Nashville. We're having to connect to wifi and use email to communicate.

7. Car? I've read that it was a motor home, plenty of room for a lot of explosives.
