Nashville Blast: Of Course It Is Not Terrorism

Why is it that even before the echoes of any blast or boom subside that the authorities are rushing – before they have any facts – to say that something is not terrorism or that terrorism is not suspected? This story is a good case in point. The police and others freely admit that they don’t know much at this point, except that all them are dancing around like five-year-olds needing to go potty to say that it is not terrorism. Quite frankly, I am getting very tired of this lie, and it is a lie, from the authorities anytime something happens. They don’t know what it is, but the rush to rule out terrorism at all costs does not inspire confidence in me about their objectivity, investigative skills, or basic competence. Yes, it may not be terrorism, but until you know what it is don’t try to tell me what it is not. Admit that you don’t know, that you are investigating ALL leads and not just headed towards politically correct and expedient conclusions, and I might have a tendency to believe you. To the government: Grow The Frell Up, start treating us as adults, and DO YOUR JOB. Your job is not to lie, it is not to give false assurance, it is not to do what is convenient. It is to investigate and go where the investigation leads you. Nuff said.
