Another talking bomb:
1959, Starship Troopers
This was a special bomb, one issued to each of us for this mission with instructions to use them if we found ways to make them effective. The squawking I heard as I threw it was the bomb shouting in skinny talk (free translation): “I’m a thirty second bomb! I’m a thirty second bomb! Twenty-nine! Twenty-eight! Twenty-seven!..”

That’s a profile, but it doesn’t explain the motive
I still don’t understand what either of these guys were trying to accomplish

As I recall, there was birthday cake involved.

the one thing i pause at, especially with the “editing” done to the headline, is that i would like better confirmation that the guy who died was also the builder of the bomb as well as the one who put in place to explode. possibly i haven’t dug enough or missed the article but were there signs of bomb manufacture at the guy’s house or some space he owned or rented?
i’d like to know what level of involvement he really had in the bombing because based on the information i have encountered so far, the spectrum of anthony quinn warner’s possible involvement ranges across:
victim (murdered to provide a patsy and steal rv) --> stooge (hired to make bomb and provide rv but killed to provide patsy) --> mastermind/victim (ramrodded the process but killed in order to provide patsy) --> suicide bomber, either with or without associates.
there may be other possibilities. i’d like to think with the loss of time lost looking at richard jewell which let eric rudolph get away and conduct 7 years more terrorist attacks that law enforcement is checking into and eliminating those possibilities but i haven’t heard of anything definitive yet.

Suicide by Bomb - Non-political
If he did it where he did it because he was paranoid about 5G, that’s definitely political.

Well I read that the guy who did this killed himself in the act. Suicide bomber, basically. Who knows why people do stuff like this as there isn’t a clear motive. Wanted to just be remembered, I guess? Really hated AT&T? (I mean, I’m an AT&T customer, I get it…). Maybe he decided capitalism was bullshit and hit as many businesses as he could. Unless he left some notes at his house, we will probably never know.
At least he tried to give fair warning and allow people to evacuate. I guess that is a silver lining? (I guess that video with the warning was from the RV, vs a PA system. I came in really clear on that security video.)
Left: 5G kinda sucks. It doesn’t have very good range and it kills your battery.
Right: OMG 5G CANCER COVID CONSPIRACY SOROS

I thought that one was obviously because his father, Chromedome, had lived a life of crime.
When the story hit, I can’t remember if I made the connection myself, or a story had to mention the father, but I immediately remembered seeing the wanted poster printed in a magazine.
But was it suicide, or did he misjudge something?
People have blown themselves up by accident when building bombs, so it’s possible they can blow themselves up when planting bombs.
And awaaaaay we go…

From reports, the recording warned of a bomb for at least 20 minutes before the 15 minute countdown started, so I don’t think it was a case of accidentally triggering it. If anything, I would wonder if he were restrained in the vehicle, but we just don’t know.
And I know it’s more nuanced since we don’t know the circumstances, but…
