A few years ago a car bomb went off near a local community college and most people were afraid it was terrorism.

It turned out to be a guy trying to kill his wife by planting a bomb under her car. Thankfully she survived,and he wound up in prison.

Maybe someone didn't want their spouse getting impregnated, for all we know.

The big concern is if it was an attack by an anti-reproductive rights nut job, and the Trump administration refuses to investigate or prosecute. Let's hope the local authorities will.
