More evidence of a false flag and that these were not intended to be functional bombs.

Anyone considered that this might also be the work of a left wing extremist trying to damage the repub’s chances on the election?

Not a false flag per se, but just another looney.

Not discounting the (high) possibility that this is likely a right wing nut job, but I feel like the circumstances are just too stupid for this to be an intentional attempt at mass murder.

The timing, the impotency of the attack, the pointlessness of the targets (why Clinton and Obama? they have no real power anymore) the obvious reaction of the public (this would drum up sympathy and not fear).

I mean, I get it. This could well be a right wing idiot. Good chances of that, too. But personally, when weighing in possibilities, the chances some right wing guy picks said powerless targets using said awful methodology where there was 0% chance of success using (allegedly) bad equipment during the worst possibile timing because Trump said something that made them mad (?)... I dunno. Must be a completely mentally retarded individual.

Or can it be a left wing extremist who saw the elections coming and wanted to drum up up sympathy for his political party? So he chose highly visible targets that will get the most sympathy and coverage (the media, a black former president, a former female presidential candidate, a philanthropist at the heart of many right wing conspiracy theories, etc.), an easy to catch and very newsworthy method, an ineffective weapon during the most effective time to do it (close to the election where chances are he won’t be caught until after, if even at all). One cannot look at those facts and think it is impossible.

Personally, I’m waiting til the FBI catches the guy til I have any real thoughts on it.
