Pennsylvania car bomb victims include father, 2-year-old son
As investigators combed the wreckage for clues, a father and his 2-year-old son have been identified as the first known victims of a car explosion in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night that left a downtown street strewn with parts of cars and human bodies. Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin said investigators believe one of the three dead males was a suspect in the explosion.
I live in Allentown area. I know guys that were there with first hand info.
I don’t know what I can or can’t say but I will say that Darwin thwarted a very bad thing…
After seeing their pics and names I figured they weren’t jihadists/ Costra Nostra soldatos / or DTO narcos. I was thinking they or at least one of them were some extremist about to carryout something and didn’t know what they were doing and their device went off at an unintended time. Question is though, if they were ANTIFA types if this will get swept under the rug? I haven’t seen a blurp about this in the national headlines. If it comes out they were right wingers with III% tats/window decals, #MAGA hats, etc. this will be sensationalized by the MSM.
Knowing the general area I don’t think it’s Antifa. Possible of course but doubtful
EDIT:
After seeing the news video of one of the victims I don’t know what to think. Certainly looks like someone who could be Antifa. Doesn’t look like mafia type
There’s a heavy population of Sovereign Citizens and lots of left wing protesters in this area. Tons of anti-police uprisings lately too. Many lawsuits.
This explosion was a premature detonation. It was just blocks away from the PP&L Center which is home of the Phanom’s hockey team and there was also a large festival called Celtic Fest a few miles away. Who knows where they were going. It’s unfortunate for the child…
That’s one hell of a murder suicide, who was the 66 year old to him? Typically people take out their spouse and or children in such murders. Never heard of someone taking out a friend, especially with a VBIED no less.
I’m the first to crap on conspiracy theories, but this would definitely be one of the most bizarre methods of murder/suicide I’ve ever heard of, if that’s the case.
