New Orleans Terrorist Attack

Surprised no thread has been created yet but as I am sure everyone knows 10 people killed by in a New Orleans terrorist attack.

The press conference going on now has been bit fiery. Usual questions from the media that cannot be answered right now.

Governor Landry is handling it well but Senator John Kennedy sounds a bit unhinged compared to the governor and seems to be hamming it up.

I had a few old school classmates who went to New Orleans for new years celebrations. Thankfully they are all safe. But that had to be terrifying.

That sucks.

Looks just like the attack on the German Christmas Market attack.

“The suspect has been preliminarily identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, according to four senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter.”

And now a Cybertruck has exploded outside Trump Tower Las Vegas killing 1.

Only till tomorrow but it does suck. Part of me wishes it had still gone ahead but I understand why they postponed it.

Senator Kennedy sounded fine to me.

I came home this morning and new orleans police chief was giving an interview. If anyone saw her will understand when i say someone gave her a hat way too big for her head. Somebody should have helped her out with that. I posted an pic of her with a hat that fits her and she looks way better.

I am sure he did. To me sounded like he was trying to sound tough and playing to the cameras. The governor came off as very calm -and professional.

Bit no idea which idiot thought it was a good idea to have so many people answering questions. Should have been the governor, the mayor, chief of police and FBI. No need for anyone else.

“Video surveillance from the French Quarter show three men and one woman planting explosives at multiple locations, a federal alert to police departments around the country said.”

Seems the FBI is useless. I bet they still have everyone looking for “White supremacists”.

This white supremacist reportedly had an Isis flag in the truck.

Who is calling him or did call him a white supremacist?

No one. But that’s probably what the FBI was working on instead of finding these guys…

So have we figured out what Jihadi John’s motive was yet?

That is a reference to Wray saying at a hearing that white supremacy was the greatest threat of domestic terrorism. You probably are familiar with that reference already and know what I was talking about.
