Tennessee authorities release the photo and name of Anthony Quinn Warner as the suspected suicide bomber responsible for the explosion in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, last Friday, December 25.
The explosion, which caused extensive property damage and injured several people, occurred at 166 Second Avenue North.
Following the bombing, Nashville Mayor John Cooper said that at 6:32 a.m. Christmas morning, the city's Police and Fire departments responded to the scene of an explosion on 2nd Ave, approximately one block north of Broadway.
Authorities describe Anthony Warner as a lone male computer repairman about whom his neighbors knew very little.
While authorities recognize Quinn as the person allegedly responsible for taking his own life by blowing up his RV in Nashville, with the goal of causing major harm to a section of the population.
However, neither the authorities nor the corporate media in the United States use the term terrorist to refer to Quinn, a fact that has attracted the attention of a large number of users on social networks.
AP [Associated Press] is actually deploying phrases like 'the man behind the mysterious explosion in which he died' to avoid the term suicide bomber," the @southpaw account commented via the social networking site Twitter.
According to users on Twitter, what Quinn did was an act of homegrown terrorism but authorities and the corporate media are not calling it that because it was a white man.
Anthony Warner was a suicide bomber. when does the travel ban for white men go into effect? when do we start profiling and discriminating against trisst white men in motorcades like we have been doing to our Muslim friends and neighbors since 9/11?" said @ImSpeaking13
