Police now believe it was intentional. 

Come on, people. Really?

Is "intentional act" the new PC way to say "terrorist act"?

They don't want to jump the gun and label it that way if it turns out to be a right wing group.

I assume they say that because they don't know- it might be someone trying to murder someone specific.

Why Nashville? Without an obvious intended target, what does Nashville represent besides its established notoriety? Strange.

According to the article, it was in front of the ATT Building (before the update it said ATT)........ Could have been a disgruntled employee
Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

AT&T? It would more likely be a disgruntled customer.

A terrorist act is a terrorist act regardless of who did it.  Republicans would condemn it openly too.

It's not even that.  James Holmes wasn't a terrorist, but he had no idea who he was killing.
Fortunately it sounds like no one was hurt with this bomb. Pray that doesn't change.

It's interesting that the RV was rigged with a loud warning device telling people to evacuate. Not a typical terror action.

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds, glad nobody is at risk of dying.

I wonder if it was only meant to target police. This is a weird scenario.

Not with a warning. 

I’m thinking it was someone who wanted to go out with a spectacular suicide. I bet they’ll uncover a rambling diatribe denouncing the mean ol world that conspired against them once they find out who it was.

And now they're reporting that human tissue was found, possibly someone who was right next to the bomb when it went off.
It's all sketchy.  Let's at least be nice to each other as the details come in.
The target seems to be a big communications hub? A place with a lot of electronics but only a few workers? Are AT&Ts services disrupted there now?
