It seems like Warner was into computers:

"Fridrich said that for four or five years Warner had come into the office roughly once a month to provide computer consulting services, until this month when Warner told the company in an email that he would no longer be working for them. He gave no reason, according to Fridrich."

"He seemed very personable to us – this is quite out of character I think," Fridrich told the newspaper."

That probably explains why nobody has found his internet presence yet. He was probably savvy enough to use a VPN and burner e-mails, if he used social media at all. I'm sure the FBI will find his accounts soon enough, but even a small amount of tech knowledge is enough to make things hard for internet sleuths.

This also, in my mind, almost guarantees he was a QAnon follower. Some anti-5G types are just general technophobes, but if he actively worked with tech on a regular basis I'm guessing he got indoctrinated into anti-5G stuff from somewhere. QAnon isn't the only group pushing anti-5G conspiracies, but they're definitely the biggest.

The article says that police pulled the truck over. Thankfully in the middle of nowhere from the looks of it.

Could be the truck was on its way to the target when the evacuation message accidentally played and driver couldn't turn it off so abandoned it? Such a weird location to park it if not.

Hard to tell but is there a driver in the truck? They sent the robot in and it poked the truck a few times and then they pulled it back. Now they've driven a SUV closer and taken something out of the back.

I was just thinking the driver must be in custody or they think he is down, because they're being super nonchalant about walking (the authorities).

Now they are suiting up someone it looks like

Yeah, I watched the windshield for awhile and nothing is moving inside. They must have him already.

When it's a white guy, they report slowly and never say terrorism.
But if it was a Muslim, they would call him an instant terrorist.
Fuck American News Media, trash ass.

Wait, so do they have the driver in custody? Was this just a dumb copycat?
CNN says the remains at the first explosion were the 63 year old.

The violent explosion that rocked downtown Nashville on Christmas morning is believed to be a suicide bombing by Anthony Q. Warner, 63, U.S. Attorney Don Cochran said Sunday.

Authorities continue to ask those who knew or encountered the suspect to contact the FBI. The agency is still investigating, but there is no indication that anyone else was involved, Cochran said.

Officials said DNA testing of human remains on the scene matched to Warner. They said no other threats were known against the city, but wouldn't comment on possible motives for the bombing.
