this is fucking nuts, i lived not far from that area for years and went to that mcdonald's a block or two away a few times. details are scarce, but here's the local news article
- “I think it blew up the entire duplex,” one neighbor told ARLnow in the immediate aftermath. “I’m sure the family next door was evacuated before it blew up but they lost their home.”
  A man named James Yoo, listed in public records as the resident of the address to which police were initially dispatched, has been repeatedly posting paranoid screeds on his Linkedin account. One post from three days ago rants against his neighbors in the adjoining duplex unit.

  This is how the 'Ruling Class' stays anonymous using buffers and handlers to absorb 'digital ID'.
  So for every citizen they have multiple people assigned to spy on them?
  Exponentially this idea just can’t work.

  Can confirm. I rarely ever see my neighbors, so I'm certain they are spying on me.

  I wonder if we'll find him on LinkedIn lunatics....
  
  Mental breakdown due to undiagnosed mental illness maybe?
  
  or the predictable degradation of someone with an industrial meth hobby
  
  "Jamie/Rosemary and 'Lance' got heavy especially during the last several months"

  Would be ironic if they actually were spies.
- After the home was listed for sale a couple of years ago, Yoo chased would-be buyers off with a knife, according to Wilson. Real estate records show the home was taken off the market on at the end of 2021.
  ?????? Um… what???
