Federal authorities say a 63-year-old Antioch man was responsible for a Christmas morning bombing that left the suspect dead and captured the nation’s attention over the holiday weekend as officials worked to determine who parked an RV downtown to detonate.
What motivated him is still unknown.
But there are clues. Like his RV bomb taking out an AT&T switching station.
Me? My thoughts run to tracking down the Apple engineers responsible for disabling the "not now" box on the "Apple account login required" window that pops up on all of my devices 24/7, requiring me to remember (incorrectly, apparently) the name of my best friend in high school after learning that "for security reasons, your account is locked". But I digress.
Maybe you have to be over 65 to relate to frustrations with a technology company pushing a man over the edge.
Even more intriguing, during the last several minutes before the detonation of the RV bomb - that exploded with said Boomer, Anthony Warner, inside of it - a hit song from 1963 blared through the RV's loudspeaker system.
When you're alone and life is making you lonely you can always go downtown,” blared Clark’s voice through the speakers. “When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry seems to help, I know...Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again
Was Warner being ironic? Did he find special meaning in the lyrics? Or did he just like the song?
