O.K.. I値l say it.

The fire bombing of a Trump Headquarters in N.C.? Was perpetrated by crazed Trump Supporters in order to deflect the issue of the current Trump plunge into the sewers.

I don’t give a shit either if I have no factual evidence.. Day after day for a fucking year, Trump supporters have been physically threatening people who dare to confront Trump’s lies, bullying anyone who questions Trump’s ugly rhetoric and attacking anyone who shows up at a Trump Rally who does not look american enough.. well i say fuck em!

It sounded like something I'd write. Except I'm not into bombs and stuff, too scary.

We have no idea who did it, and making accusations based on no facts is what the other side tends to do.

And I consider the OP speculation at its finest. But I think it neglects the very real, and very strong anarchist presence in NC, particularly around Carrboro and Chapel Hills. There are a lot of hippy-anarchist types around there. They have an annual book fair and do Occupy protests. All it would take is a few idiots to do something monumentally stupid.

Part of me hopes they don't get caught because they were idiots and no one was hurt, but another part of me wants them to get caught so it absolves the Democrats. No Democrats did this. And that's not speculation, a Democrat is a person who doesn't want to fuck the image of the party up, they would never in a million years do this. It's either a false flag (meh) or apolitical/anarchist types (likely).

Disclaimer: I have anarchist friends in Chapel Hills. No word from them or rumors or anything, but yeah. Really strong feeling about this. Ideally, and I know it's a tough prospect, they turn themselves in and realize what dipshits they were. Would clear the Democrats pretty good. Maybe someone will have a guilty conscious and come forward.

It was widely speculated for a week after the OKC bombing that it was what used to be called "Middle Eastern terrorism". Then they arrested McVeigh.

I'll wait for the facts.

it wasn't really a fire bomb at all. Trump headquarters in N.C. simply imploded, just like Don the Con's campaign is doing.

The term "Reichstag fire" is used by some writers to denote a calamitous event staged by a political movement, orchestrated in a manner that casts blame on their opponents, thus causing the opponents to be viewed with suspicion by the general public. This is sometimes known as a false flag attack when the event itself is caused by proponents of a political movement to falsely accuse their opponents. (From Wikipedia)

First thing I thought about was how Karl Rove developed this tactic back in the day. I'm with you buster b - all the way.

On the one hand, such a destructive act seems to be right up the average Trumpeteer's alley ~

On the other hand, all the words were spelled correctly so it could have been our side

Trump followers who did this, suspicion is not the same as proof. We need to wait for the investigation.

Who wanted to send a message. Carrboro and Chapel Hill are hotbeds of anarchist activity.

It wasn't a false flag.

It was stupid people doing something utterly despicable.
