Apply Hanlon's razor. There was zero shrapnel and most of the force blew upwards. It definitely could've been a really poor use of judgement of storing flammable gasoline and fireworks in a confined space that then found an ignition source in the piss-poor-designed back of the CT.

have you seen the photos? this wasn't a box of basic fireworks and a can of gas. the bed was loaded with a huge amount of camp fuel and large fireworks mortars.

considering that it was rented in Colorado, parked right in front of the trump hotel lobby with the trump hotel sign right above it, and exploded right after, the simplest explanation seems to be that it was intentional and that causing a scene was more important to them than killing.

Still not proof of terrorism. That's only evidence of bad judgement.

What about the "detonation system controlled by the driver in the Tesla Cybertruck" as reported by the FBI?

Is that bad judgement too? I swear to God the mental gymnastics to blame Tesla...

That's not a fact. I just watched a reputable report the morning after that also reiterated the FBI's position that there was still uncertainty if it was intentional or not.

Had a gun shot wound to his head before the explosion. Your explanation isn't making any sense.
