Nashville: A bomb blast unlike any other on American soil

  Andrea Widburg 

At least three people ended up in the hospital. The police also announced that they’d found human remains, although they have not stated whether they were from a victim or the bomber.

 ..."Speculation, of course, is always enjoyable. And until the police and FBI investigate more (video cameras, debris, witnesses, etc.) or until the bomber makes a statement, all we’ve got is speculation.

"What’s not enjoyable is realizing how seemingly easy it was for someone to do this – and again, I wonder if that wasn’t the message: Americans are vulnerable. This year has shattered their confidence. They are vulnerable to disease; to “fear itself;” to malignant and tyrannical politicians capitalizing on disease and fear; to the disruption of its political systems; and now, with the year almost over, there’s a stunningly competent bomber out there toying with us.

"Along with everyone else, I am looking forward to 2020 ending. I am dubious, however, that 2021 will be any better – and today’s bombing in Nashville gave the nervous and paranoid among us one more thing about which to worry."
