Excerpts:

Who was Tony Warner?

Warner grew up in Antioch and attended Antioch High School, graduating in the mid-1970s before settling down in the same community and working various IT jobs. But in just the past month, Warner appeared to put his affairs in order.
+++
Yearbooks from Antioch High School show Warner, a short teenager with glasses, played on the school’s golf team.
+++
Steve Schmoldt and his wife have lived next door to Warner for 25 years. He described Warner as “low-key” and friendly, though “some people would say he’s a little odd.” “You never saw anyone come and go,” Schmoldt said of Warner’s home. “Never saw him go anywhere. As far as we knew, he was kind of a computer geek that worked at home.”
+++
The neighbors never talked about politics or religion. Warner never gave any indication of any closely held ideology. “I can tell you as far as politics, he never had any yard signs or flags in his window or anything like that. If he did have any political beliefs he kept, that was something he kept to himself.

The article also said Warner does not have a public presence on social media or other websites.

1. Not so lone.

There are thousands more likeminded whackjobs in these rightwing parlors and cesspools

[Miigwech]

10. Exactly. He is someone's saint, martyr ... he ihas a profile like

the Unabomber but he did not have the internet and was not an IT guy like this domestic suicide bomber, just saying.

[uponit7771]

15. +1,

[Arne]

2. Being into computers makes me think

he has some digital record, as we do posting here.

[joshcryer]

12. He almost certainly had a computer online history.

I hope we don't get a Kevin Loibl style memory hole where he just poofs from existence with no particular trail. I went down the Loibl rabbit hole and found nothing, absolutely nothing, regarding his internet history. He took his hard drive from his computer and tossed it somewhere. When someone suicides the investigation stops or slows tremendously and the information that an internet sleuth would use is lost to time. If we just had Loibl's IP address we could've messaged all the Grimmie fansites and had them look to see what user used that IP address, etc.

Sorry for this slightly off topic comment, just relaying how you can go down the rabbit hole trying to find someones internet history and find nothing. Even though it most likely exists.

Hope we find out more about this guy but he's likely that one user no one really talks to, who just leaves his opinion somewhere randomly, and isn't connected to his real life. The Swing person is the way you would look, but she's been deleting her online media so it's not likely we'll find him connected to her at this point.

[Thomas Hurt]

3. so apolitical and suicidal...

[Dream Girl]

5. That sounds really dangerous. Who gets to determine that someone is "strange"?

[Ex Lurker]

7. A lot of people would consider me strange

I have few friends and keep to myself. I don't plan to blow anything up.

[sarisataka]

22. The 'Government'

they will have everyone's best interest and be absolutely fair

[Midnight Writer]

27. Yeah, reading that I thought "Gee, that sounds a lot like me".

[WhiskeyGrinder]

6. Gross.

[happybird]

8. Sounds Orwellian.

No, thanks.

[ret5hd]

13. Would you like to monitor me?

I go out once a week for groceries, never have anyone over, no farcebook, no tweeker, etc.

If you do, bring sturdy hiking boots/food/tent. I go hiking/camping (alone) often, further away from people the better. And if you want to talk, bring someone with you, because if I hear you I will probably move somewhere farther down.

[jimfields33]

19. I wouldn't be deciding.

However, I do find it curious when a suggestion is mentioned, suddenly it is not a good idea. How are we to stop this then? Would it be so bad that once a month they give you a wellness check? I’d think it would be a good thing. We could even find out if anybody needs any medical treatment.

[ret5hd]

29. If you could find me I guess it would be OK...

or would I be required to "check in" with my current location?
Or, I know! An ankle bracelet!

[cwydro]

44. If someone came to my house for a "wellness check" once a month, I would be pissed as hell/

Are you being serious here?

Who is coming to the door? The cops? Social workers?

Would these folks you think need “monitoring” be allowed to move around at will, or if they go on a road trip or something...would they have to check in with “authorities” first?

Wow.

[former9thward]

48. Give 330 million people a wellness check once a month?

Wow....

[yardwork]

51. Are you serious?

Who decides who is in need of a "wellness check?" Who does the checking? What kind of questions do they get to ask, and of whom?

I'm gay. Should my wife and i get a "wellness check" just because we're different?

[Ptah]

16. Did you forget the sarcasm emoji?

Or are you serious?

[cwydro]

21. Seriously?

Anyone who’s an introvert should be “monitored?”

Sometimes I can’t believe what I read here.

[chowder66]

26. +1

[jimfields33]

34. Just a siggestion. Not everyone wants a solution. 100 percent never agrees on success.

Nobody said introverts except you.

[cwydro]

41. Well, as you can see, others took it the same way I did.

You pretty much described an introvert in so many words.

Not all of us are “hail fellow, well met” types.

[jimfields33]

45. I guess you must be right.

I guess we’ll never have another experience like that.

[GemState]

28. My neighbors would probably

describe me pretty much the same.

[Mariana]

31. Your proposed monitoring probably would have missed Warner.

Apparently he talked to his neighbors regularly, so he wouldn't show up on any list of people who "never have any dealings with the outside world".

[kcr]

35. I wonder if there's something we can do to monitor those

who can't mind their own business.

[cwydro]

42. Thank you!

Chilling to read things like that here.

[NutmegYankee]

36. That's a seriously fucked up response. nt

[jimfields33]

37. And your suggestion?

[NutmegYankee]

38. You already took care of it with self-delete. nt

[jimfields33]

39. Yeah only because I offer a possible solution.

It’d be beneficial if suggestions were made. Isn’t that what this is about? Most want to stop this from happening.

[Bluesaph]

9. I thought he was afraid we are being spied on?

I thought I read that here in a thread. He has to have a digital background. I’m sure FBI knows.

[LisaL]

18. I guess conspiracy nuts believe 5G can cause all kind of trouble.

NT

[happybird]

46. The thread I saw about that had a link to The Daily Mail

Which is definitely not a reliable source. It’s basically a tabloid.

[arlyellowdog]

11. He had cancer

He lost his father to cancer and blames 5G. He went after AT&T. He thought he was saving people from 5G induced cancer.

[TexasBushwhacker]

47. He told an ex-girlfriend he had cancer

and gave her his car. I don't know if that cancer diagnosis has been confirmed.

[UTUSN]

14. no "social media" - one of those background snoop sites shows FB and email handles:

FB: tony.warner.399

"Possible" e-addy: [e-mail]

Charges/Offenses: Cont.Sub.-Felony - Source DAVIDSON GENERAL SESSIONS COURT (Tennessee) - Location: Davidson, TN = Arrest date Jan 29, 1978 - Guilty, Nov 8, 1979 - Completed Court Process

[Sogo]

17. So there's no indication of him being a Trumpster,

as many have suggested?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

23. It only discusses what neighbors observed....

such as campaign signs, flags, etc. Like many people, he did not advertise his politics in his yard.

Investigators will determine that by his on-line footprints and documents they find in his home. However, it seems rare that a criminal's political leanings are published to the media. I think that often get sugar coated or just not discussed by investigators, especially if the criminal's leanings are the same as theirs.

KY

[sarisataka]

24. 90% of what was initially suggested

was wrong- as usual

But it was just "speculation"

[Mariana]

32. It was speculation, and no one pretended it was anything else.

I don't know why you put the word "speculation" in quotes. Courtesy of Merriam-Webster:

speculation n. : ideas or guesses about something that is not known

[Turin_C3PO]

40. It was just speculation.

Given that the biggest threat to the country is right wing domestic terrorists (according to homeland security and the FBI), it’s a fair guess. It could still be correct. More information I’m sure will be forthcoming.

[BamaRefugee]

20. "He was a quiet man." Hundreds of killers described this way in my lifetime.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

25. Yes, such as the Unibomber.

KY

[Mariana]

33. Yes, and it's pretty meaningless.

Most quiet men are not killers, and many killers aren't quiet men.

[quickesst]

30. just a general statement....

.... but I have never viewed unproven speculation as a legitimate investigative tool. It may just be me, but personally I have always found that relying upon proven facts are a much more reliable method in determining the truth.

[cwydro]

43. Yes, and I've found that "speculation" on DU is usually..."The right wing did it!"

And sadly, so often wrong.

[quickesst]

53. Ah yes.....

The " the right-wing did it" safety net. It's okay though because it sounds like something they would/could have done. No harm no foul.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

49. Something smells wrong.

[TexasBushwhacker]

50. Latest from Associated Press

https://apnews.com/article/ap-top-news-bombings-nashville-82e0cebe4cb3f16ab95ed4c506b2f7ab

Laude (Warner's neighbor) said he saw Warner standing at his mailbox less than a week before Christmas and pulled over in his car to talk. After asking how Warner’s elderly mother was doing, Laude said he casually asked, “Is Santa going to bring you anything good for Christmas?”

Warner smiled and said, “Oh, yeah, Nashville and the world is never going to forget me,” Laude recalled.

****************

Sounds like Warner's elderly mother is still living. Geez

[C Moon]

52. Yeah, some people feel sorry for the guy or say he was kind by giving warning...

I say he's an asshole—and LUCKY nobody was killed. What if someone had been unable to hear the warning?
