With all of this bombing nonsense going on, I would like you remind you...

1 2018-10-25 by snallygaster

That you should NEVER bet on the identity of someone committing a politically-charged crime until the identity is released, unless you're dismissing some pizzagate-tier conspiracy nonsense with a premise that isn't based in reality. Even if you believe that the crime that seems likely to have been committed by a certain type of person/people (and actually would be likely if you're using clear reasoning that's unaffected by who you want the criminal to be), there's always a chance that you're wrong, and if you were circlejerking as if you already knew who the criminal is then you'll end up all embarrassed and everyone who thinks differently will laugh at you because they were circlejerking in the opposite direction and were correct and you were not.

It's best just not to play that game. Sure, the signs point to the bomber being a right-wing nut, but until we know more there's a slight chance that it was a crazy dem trying to help along the blue wave. Think about all the times when /pol/ was 100% SURE that a violent criminal was a leftist or PoC, then it came out that they were a young white man and they had to scramble to do damage control. It's not a good look.

This also applies to elections. That's all I had to say, thanks

ive said this before but those furry cons and anarchist protests ruined you snally, but in reality it was probably just reddit

Who said it was a right winger, I want to shake their hand and congratulate them on graduating from University of Mongoloid.

1 snallygaster 2018-10-25

Fringe right-wingers are claiming that they KNOW that it's a false flag by a dem or the Deep State while moderates + the left seem certain that it's a right-winger.

1 Starship_Litterbox_C 2018-10-25

Intelligent people see the hand of the radical anti-centrist in this. The Antichrist to our Radically Centrist Christ.

1 trilateral1 2018-10-25

whether it was a false flag or not, clearly those cartoon bombs were never intended to explode.

1 Etsuko1 2018-10-25

Holy shit you've been posting about "cartoon bombs" non-stop. Are you a NPC?

1 trilateral1 2018-10-25

:v|

got me!

no but seriously, look at those ridiculous things. like from an ACME cartoon. and they can't even explode.

1 snallygaster 2018-10-25

Even if that's true, people send things like "white powder" to targets fairly frequently. The point is to send a message.

1 LightUmbra 2018-10-25

I'm still hoping it's a militant Vegan

1 wewladin 2018-10-25

That Iranian Vegan strikes from beyond the grave.

1 LightUmbra 2018-10-25

A boy can dream.

1 -absolutego- 2018-10-25

THAT's why the bomb had a timer on it! It all makes sense!

1 _narrows 2018-10-25

I think it’s celebrity chef Bobby Flay

1 uniqueguy263 2018-10-25

It's obviously the Zucc. He's lost $30 billion and I just don't like him, which is basically bulletproof evidence

1 -absolutego- 2018-10-25

The Zucc is exacting revenge on everyone who made him go to congress and out himself as a Lizard-American.

That's how CNN got on the list.

1 serial_crusher 2018-10-25

All the NPCs have been saying it since the latest patch came out.

Asking people to be reasonable

1 snallygaster 2018-10-25

fair

1 Abu_Ivanka_alAmriki 2018-10-25

I actually just assume the bombs were sent by a liberal and the migrant caravan is being organized by a conservative. I’m probably giving too much credit all around.

1 AnnoysTheGoys 2018-10-25

That you should NEVER bet on the identity of someone committing a politically-charged crime until the identity is released

Hey now. This is the best time to bet on it for money.

1 snallygaster 2018-10-25

Are there any websites where you can place a bet? asking for a freidn

1 Psych0Fir3 2018-10-25

Betdsi.com if ur a cumboy you get more money to waste.

1 DoctorFahrenheit 2018-10-25

A man after my own heart. The NPC money has really skewed the moneyline.

1 GuillotinesNOW 2018-10-25

I called my bookie to see what odds I could get on (((you know who))) doing this, but he said it was way too obvious for him to offer any action.

1 Neon_needles 2018-10-25

Anyone who isn't a complete retard already knows Gamergate is behind it.

GET OWNED BY GAMERGATE BITCH!

1 none_to_remain 2018-10-25

I seen speculation of the double false flag, that is the cons trying to make the libs look bad by making it look like the libs trying to make the cons look bad by making it look like the cons trying a bombing.

1 Imperial_Sardaukar 2018-10-25

That’s the move you use to checkmate your opponent in 4-D chess

1 trilateral1 2018-10-25

Far fetched, but a lot more likely than snally's theory.

1 snallygaster 2018-10-25

My theory is that a Q boomer did it. Especially now that the pipe bomb was shown to have a mock-ISIS 'git er done' flag wrapped around it- can you imagine a younger person doing that? But it could be anyone, within reason.

1 better_bot 2018-10-25

Truly you have a dizzying intellect.

1 TheColdTurtle 2018-10-25

Aw that's sweet granny. Here is your sewing needles back.

1 Van-Diemen 2018-10-25

In this world of vegan shooters and incel van attacks, a lot of people end up looking so fucking stupid to the point of shameful account deletion.

I no longer make comments about terrorists while it's unfolding.

1 Titan_Transcendent 2018-10-25

Are people being extra stupid over this one or is that just me? I haven't been around a lot lately

1 snallygaster 2018-10-25

It's true. Everybody's pretending to be a bomb, USPS, and terrorism expert rolled into one.

1 youcanteatbullets 2018-10-25

I think they're being the same amount of stupid, just louder

1 Redactor0 2018-10-25

I've probably spent too much time lately on Arab politics where they actually do play 3D chess, but this is one where I would just keep my mouth shut. If anyone is boomer enough to remember what a min/max strategy is, or anything that Sun Tzu taught you, or what your jailhouse lawyer told you, or anything that anybody ever said: Just don't talk. Let your enemies walk into the trap. If it turns out to be Nazis, you lost nothing by being cautious about it.

I am leaning slightly toward this being a real right-wing attack though just because they're hitting the people real right-wingers would. If it was lefties doing a false flag, they would hit a lot more black targets, because that's what they imagine the right cares about.

1 KingWayneX 2018-10-25

leaning slightly toward this being a real right-wing attack though just because they're hitting the people real right-wingers would

Im leaning the other way, because I dont think this is who right wingers would attack. Soros, sure. But hillary and obama are not particularly hated by the right in comparison to the dem socs. And wasserman schultz is not even on the hate radar. If anything, her incompetence helped get trump elected. Everyone targeted is an enemy of the bernbots though.

I would expect a right wing terrorist to go after media companies, an antifa rally or maybe a berkley/oberlin type college, not has been neoliberals.

1 rabiiiii 2018-10-25

I'm not so sure about that. I mean I'm not jumping to any conclusions either. And you're right that a certain type of Bernie to Trump supporter might target people like this.

But there's also a lot of Great Awakening type right leaning boomers out there that still have a raging hate boner for Hillary and Obama. This would fit their profile too.

1 trilateral1 2018-10-25

literal cartoon bombs LMFAO
sent to famous retired politicians from yesteryear, rather than to current candidates.

how do right wing extremists benefit from hand-delivering obvious fakes in this manner to those people?

1 PeskyPapaya 2018-10-25

Might be a right wing nut job, there's no shortage of those. Might see Clinton and Obama as important figures in the vampire- pedophile deepstate conspiracy.

1 rabiiiii 2018-10-25

Great Awakening people blame stuff on Hillary and Obama all the time. Whoever this is, we can probably agree that they've got a few screws loose.

1 trilateral1 2018-10-25

yeah probably

1 pisserpatterwater 2018-10-25

Anyone who does try to identify the bomber's identitity will be banned.

1 serial_crusher 2018-10-25

While we don't know much about the bomber yet, one thing we can reliably assume is that he's probably the sort of asshole who would seriouspost on r/drama.

1 CholentPot 2018-10-25

Can I axe why I don't see anything about this bombing stuff on Reddit?

I'd think it would plastered in bright pink glitter letters all over the front page. Reddit's gone full silence on this thing. I'm fish.

1 snallygaster 2018-10-25

The perp hasn't been caught yet, which means that the topic isn't as popular because people can't smugpost about how the group the perp belongs to is violent.

1 CholentPot 2018-10-25

Because it looks kinds of stupid when someone is targeting De Neros restaurant with ISIS dildos?

1 SwiftOnSobriety 2018-10-25

I'll bet it was some tone policing sardine.

1 wewladin 2018-10-25

Snally did it, confirmed.
