    That's about an hour away from me. Remember the member "Wolf 5.45x39" who got banned in the winter time? He lives there.

    My coworker was showing me the Facebook video someone took seconds after it happened. Body parts all over the place

    I was that in the news when it happened but after that, nothing. Probably one of the two M's: Mafia or Muslims.

    I had the exact same thought! Maybe it was him doling out some vigilante justice or maybe he blew himself unintentionally...

    I won't ask and I know that you can't answer.

    After seeing their pics and names I figured they weren't jihadists/ Costra Nostra soldatos / or DTO narcos. I was thinking they or at least one of them were some extremist about to carryout something and didn't know what they were doing and their device went off at an unintended time. Question is though, if they were ANTIFA types if this will get swept under the rug? I haven't seen a blurp about this in the national headlines. If it comes out they were right wingers with III% tats/window decals, #MAGA hats, etc. this will be sensationalized by the MSM.

    Knowing the general area I don't think it's Antifa. Possible of course but doubtful


    EDIT:
    After seeing the news video of one of the victims I don't know what to think. Certainly looks like someone who could be Antifa. Doesn't look like mafia type
