Girlfriend warned #Nashville police Anthony Warner was building bomb a year ago. #NashvilleBomb

tennessean.com/story/news/cri…

"Sixteen months before Anthony Quinn Warner's RV exploded in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning, officers visited his home in Antioch after his girlfriend reported that he was making bombs in the vehicle, according to documents obtained by The Tennessean."

#NashvilleBombing

"In the aftermath, The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Warner was "not on our radar" prior to the bombing. But a Metro Nashville Police Department report from August 2019 shows that local and federal authorities were aware of alleged threats he had made.'

#Nashville

"No actions appear to have been taken to stop Warner, a slender 5-foot-8, 135-pound man who died in the explosion, which injured three others."

#NashvilleBomber

"On 8/21/19, the girlfriend told Nashville police that Warner "was building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence," the MNPD report states. Nashville police then forwarded the information to the FBI."

#Nashville

"Police were called by the woman's attorney, Raymond Throckmorton III, who was concerned about comments she had made. When they arrived, they found her sitting on the porch with two unloaded guns nearby."

#NashvilleBombing

"[The bomber's girlfriend] related [over a year ago] that the guns belonged to a 'Tony Warner' and that she did not want them in the house any longer," MNPD spokesman Don Aaron said in a statement to The Tennessean."

...

#Nashvillebombing

"[OVER A YEAR AGO] While at the house, the woman told police about the BOMB comments Warner had made.

Throckmorton, who served as the woman's attorney, told officers Warner "frequently talks about the military and BOMB MAKING,"

#NashvilleBomber

"Warner "KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING AND IS CAPABLE OF MAKING A BOMB," the attorney said to the officers, according to the report."

#NashvilleBombing

This lady did EVERYTHING SHE COULD to alert #Nashville PD that this man was going to make BOMBS.

She even enlisted her lawyer's help...

"In an interview Tuesday night, Throckmorton told The Tennessean he urged police at the time to look into the woman's claim. He said she feared for her safety, believing Warner may harm her."

JFC. #NashvilleBomb

So, what was Warner's girlfriend's REWARD for alerting #Nashville PD to a potential BOMBER, A YEAR AGO?

....

#NashvilleBombing

"....the woman was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time. [WELL, DUH!]

Officers called their mobile crisis division, and after talking with the woman, she agreed to be transported by ambulance for a psychological evaluation, Aaron said."

#Nashville PD TOOK HER AWAY!

"Police then went to Warner's home, but he didn't answer the door after they knocked several times."

OH WELL. #NashvilleBombing

"Officers saw his RV behind the house, but the vehicle was fenced off and police were unable to see inside of it, the report said. While there, police noted that there were "several security cameras and wires attached to a alarm sign on the front door."

THIS WAS AUGUST. 2019.

"The officers notified supervisors and detectives about the incident.

"They saw no evidence of a crime and had no authority to enter his home or fenced property," Aaron said of officers' unsuccessful attempt to make contact w/ Warner or look inside the RV."

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

IMAGINE A EXTREMELY DISTRAUGHT WHITE WOMAN AND HER LAWYER REPORTING A BLACK MAN BUILDING BOMBS, IN NASHVILLE, TN.

AND HOW THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED.

"The department's hazardous devices unit was given a copy of the report.

The next day, Nashville police sent the report and identifying information about Warner to the FBI to check their databases, Aaron said in a statement to The Tennessean."

WELP, NOTHING MORE TO DO HERE...

"Let's head out and find us some aNtiFA and BLM asses to kick."

Just kidding.

"Later that day, Aaron said, "the FBI reported back that they checked their holdings and found no records on Warner at all."

[UM, THE RECORD OF BOMBS?]

"a spokesperson for the FBI, told The Tennessean Tuesday night the inquiry was a standard agency-to-agency record check."

At least JUST THE REPORTS OF A MAN, MAKING BOMBS, warranted further investigating, at least surveillance, NO?

"Then on 8/29/19, the Department of Defense reported back that "checks on Warner were all negative,"

During the week of 8/26/19, police called Throckmorton, who declined to allow police to interview Warner or go on Warner's property, the FBI told The Tennessean."

WEIRD.

CONFLICTING STATEMENTS.

"In a statement Tuesday night from Aaron, he said officers RECALLED Throckmorton saying Warner “did not care for the police,” and that Throckmorton would not allow Warner to give consent to officers to conduct a visual inspection of the RV."

"Throckmorton [the lawyer] told The Tennessean while he represented Warner in a civil matter several years ago, Warner was no longer a client of his in August 2019. He DIPUTES that he told police they couldn't search the RV."

*AN

"I have no memory of that whatsoever," Throckmorton said of MNPD's claim that said they could NOT inspect the RV. "I didn’t rep him anymore. He wasn’t an active client. I'm not a criminal defense attorney."

Why would he support the victim who called, then deny a search.

Doesn't make sense. Someone is lying. A lawyer can get in a lot of trouble lying; they can lose their bar card.

"The lawyer, Throckmorton] believes law enforcement could have done more to prevent the bombing.

"Somebody, somewhere dropped the ball," Throckmorton said."

Aaron said police at the time had no proof of wrongdoing by Warner.

"At no time was there any evidence of a crime detected and no additional action was taken," he said. "No additional information about Warner came to the department’s or the FBI’s attention after August 2019."

Can't find evidence of wrongdoing if you fail to even bother to go back and talk to a man accused of being a potential BOMBER.

Again, just imagine if this was a Black or Brown person and someone said they were building bombs in their RV. That person would be surveilled as they should.
