Amazing. Seems like this should be all over the news.

Sounds like a random crazy and not particularly news-worthy but you know if he was "right-wing" crazy the media would be all over the story. Curious what that CFIUS thing is about.
Sounds like a sino lobby group
Tried to destroy evidence by starting a gasoline fire with a flare gun, then panicked when the cops showed up with a warrant and just blew it all up out of desperation ?
Straight to the gallows.
All joking aside, blowing your house up as the feds come to kick your door in is incredibly based. Remember to trigger it after they get over the treshhold though.
Leftists can't ever be based. They're always going to be useless faggots.
True. But trash taking itself out is welcome.
it is my god-given right to turn my home into a tomb for federal agents
I've got an odd habit of storing my tannerite in stuffed dogs, near doors.
They've already scrubbed his linkedIn page. It was full schizo posting, the guy was absolutely fucking unhinged. Was convinced his neighbors were spying on him and he had several postings about Black and White people conspiring to oppress Asians. I saw consistent mad person ravings posted as far back as March of this year, so he was cooking for a while before he went off.
Ah yes, White people randomly bashing Asians in the streets is totally a thing too. Stop Asian Hate guize!
That was gas or dust, probably gas. It was fuel rich, that's why it flares up as soon as the pressure wave blows the house apart. Happens too slow for there to have been an oxidizer.
Reminds me of a guy who took videos of people stalking his house, until one day a fake cleaning company van parked outside, he posted to YouTube saying "I think I'm about to be murdered." And then his house burned down and he was found stabbed to death, official cause was suicide.
You think he was a preper with info on the Clinton's and decided better to go out this way if they came knocking? /s
Yeah that was way too big an event to not cover, a house no longer exists after 1 second and there was a shootout before. We'll probably get independents mentioning it but if mainstream refuses, I'd dig into his past as this might be a failure at a quiet hit.
So, the explosion might have only come from one side of that building (depending on the layout). And it looked like a brick exterior (edit, maybe just the color). What is the likelihood of a bomb here?
Low to zero. This was deflagration, not detonation.
Here is another gas explosion for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWAui49J1mM
I'm really surprised by the power of the blast. Could it be explained by something like a gas being more concentrated?
I'm guessing you've probably never seen a grain elevator explode in person. I have (although it was a looooooong time ago).
Anyway, the difference between a fuel air explosion (deflagration) and a detonation is that a detonation produces an omnidirectional overpressure wave. A confined gas explosion in a house won't. It is creating pressure; it will push on the walls and ceiling but as soon as the pressure finds an outlet (usually by ripping the roof off the walls) the acceleration stops. In this way the house is behaving more like the cylinder of an engine and the roof is acting like a piston.
This is why a bomb in a house tends to leave a crater (or at least, a cleared area surrounded by debris) where a fuel explosion tends to leave a big pile that's fallen in on itself. A very, very small bomb might produce the same effects, but it won't flare up as soon as it gets more oxygen.
This happens in reverse during hurricanes, and it is the typical reason for failure because contractors use as few connectors as possible to hold the roof to the wall.
Probably had some information that could lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.
