Op Ed:
I doubt if the true motive will ever be revealed by the authorities. It seems clear that this was designed to send a message. One can only guess what to motive could have been. Some are speculating or spinning the idea that this was an attempt at an ambush. I call bullshit. This looks like an Oklahoma City copy cat job but with perhaps a slightly different motive. I suspect this will have a manifesto but I suspect the manifesto will be bullshit. People who do this sort of thing usually have a political motive. McVeigh's alleged motive was hatred for the US government and allegedly he wanted a high body count. That didn't happen here. Announcements were made from the motor home warning of an imminent explosion so it would seem a body count was not the aim of this probable terrorist act.
I'll speculate. I think it was done by a foreign government, probably Russia and designed to create chaos, finger pointing, and division. I suspect that this is simply the beginning. Other suspects would be Q-Anon or some right wing militia.
If the VIN number from the motor home is recovered, it will be easy for authorities to trace its history. If it is not recovered, the year and model will be ascertained so that the history of the vehicle can be traced.
The perpetrator or perpetrators will most likely be found in less than a month.
