FBI: "This is an intentional act of terrorism".

[mobeau69]

Is there another kind?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

1. Wow!!!

Patel's FBI doesn't miss a thing.
No fucking shit it's an intentional act, vehicles don't normally just blow up.

[mobeau69]

2. And if it did it wouldn't be terrorism.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

3. Correct, in fact, if it did blow up by itself without the help of a bomb,

I would venture a guess that it was a Tesla Cybertruck.

[mobeau69]

4. My first thought.

[GP6971]

6. Or a Ford Pinto!!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

7. LOL.

Are there even any of those still around?
Had a friend way back in the day who stuffed a 351 Cleveland engine and a 4 speed trans in it, it was a butt ugly car, but it was FAST.

10. I saw one at a car show not too long ago. I had a 74 wagon...

POS. Got rid of it after 2 years.

[DENVERPOPS]

16. LOL good one

MCE

5. Who ever said it was an act of terrorism at the FBI will be looking for a new job soon.

9. Only if it was a white male

Then the motive is white washed. Only brown skinned people are called terrorists in Maga world

[live love laugh]

8. Using extra words makes it sound more "official like".

[nilram]

11. There's the domestic kind, too

If they're referring to the Mexican ship crashing, it seems like it's too soon to know. But Patel is a pretty big ass, so maybe that's what they're talking out of.

On edit: I read "intentional" as "international." Oops.

Wonder if they can provide an example of accidental terrorism?

14. Reproductive Center in Palms Springs blown up. . . .nt

[Polybius]

12. What is?

The ship hitting the Brooklyn Bridge? I'm stuck at work and that's the only alert I got all day.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. The Reproductive Center in Palm Springs blown up. . . nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Looks like pro job: shaped charge into clinic, vehicle blown back to garbage bins at back, not much sideways force. nt

[NBachers]

17. Margie finally got one right

[QED]

18. Nope - terrorism is shooting a health insurance CEO

Bombing of reproductive care clinics and school shootings are just garden variety killings.

Just in case:

[Jack Valentino]

19. is that from the "real" FBI, or the "Trump FBI" ???

Of course your post lacks any information than some alleged unidentified quote,
so I have no idea WTF you are talking about....

20. They haven't said anything yet about the suspect, but I have my suspicions.

If it is what I think it is (a right wing-terrorist), then I don't want to hear the right bitching about 8647 when one of their own bombed a fertility clinic. Again, I am not saying that is what occurred, but I am very cynical about what is going on. Now the FBI, headed by an insurrectionist, thinks this is terrorism? I don't believe a word they are saying. This isn't the first time we have seen people do violent attacks something like this. The cynic in me really thinks there is something going on behind the scenes. I don't believe their hypocritical messaging when they say, "Oh this is terrorism" while at the same time they are trying to cut women's care.

22. If he was in the truck when it blew up,

he's probably just a fine coating of greasy ash in the immediate vicinity. This wasn't a little bomb.

He might have used a fuse like McVeigh did, in which case he's long gone and will have to be traced through seriial numbers and/or VINs on any piece of metal they can find. It will take a while.

The dead person in the parking lot might not have had anything to do with it, it could have been someone having a very unlucky day and cutting through the lot on the way to the hospital.

We're not going to know much for a while, so expect people who are expected to say something when they can't possibly know anything for sure (unless the bomber mailed a manifesto to the media) to make silly statements like the above.

[tornado34jh]

25. Well, considering that this isn't the last time we have seen people attack clinics that deal with women's care

I have to be suspicious of what is going on. Again, maybe it isn't a right-wing terrorist, but history tells us that we have seen people attack abortion centers and other similar things, and many of them are on the right, so I am not leaving anything out.

26. I was first thinking that this was the work of a MAGAt...

…who was stupid enough to think “reproductive services” meant “abortion clinic.” However, it appears that fertility clinics like this are also on the far-right target list, because they’re supposedly helping LGBTQ+ couples have families.

21. Face-Palm Springs.

[IronLionZion]

23. So no "mental illness" or "typical tourist behavior" excuse this time

[Mountainguy]

24. One dead and FBI says

they have a person of interest, but are not searching for a suspect.

Sounds like they think the bomber died in the car.
