I'm not sure if it's only anti government militia. Another possibility could be a heist/digital raid and that this bombing was there to prevent offsite backups of a secure data facility. Nonetheless this seems too coordinated and well executed to be some random hate group, so I agree with you there. Especially with the evacuation messages. Anybody know if e.g. the Nexus group or similar SSAE data centers had some issues?

Militias are not (all) hate groups.

  You're "countering" an assertion that was not made.

    You're racist.

        Racism is not acceptable on HN. You have some kind of beef with the DOJ indictment I posted here? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25542215 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25542215 I don't think the DOJ was trying to start a flamewar when they filed that brief.

      You've been posting a ton of flamebait and unsubstantive comments to HN. If you keep doing that we will have to ban you, so please stop. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

        Dan, your "flamebait" characterization is grossly unreasonable. Nobody's flaming me, so if it were flamebait I'd deserve some kind of award for most astonishingly-ineffective flamebait in history. You ought to call it what it is: dissident speech. Dissonant, too. Does dissident speech get people banned from HN? PS, I admit that the (one) ascii-art text banner was silly and inappropriate.

        I use the word to mean provocative/inflammatory comments that don't contain enough information to outweigh the provocation. Such comments tend to lead to flamewars. Definitions aside, please don't post any more comments like that. We want substantive, thoughtful conversation on HN. Comments like "racist racist racist Fascist racist" are obviously not acceptable, quite apart from ascii art (though what you did with that was also not cool, and you did it at least three times). Please don't post any more unsubstantive comments like these either: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25435883 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25435883 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25428670 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25428670 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25427868 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25427868

  In the US there’s a LOT of overlap.
