And they found some clown in Virginia with 150 explosive devices who had been using pictures of the current president for target practice.

Lots of people need a hug.

Considering what New Orleans has been through the past 24 hours, its not just a reasonable request but just being respectful.
 
Here's another, more detailed article about the idiot in Va with the explosives.

FBI says man had more than 150 explosives in his garage in Isle of Wight

Brad Spafford was arrested on Dec. 17 on Foursquare Road after authorities determined he possessed one of the largest caches of explosives in FBI history.
www.13newsnow.com www.13newsnow.com

Court documents filed on Monday say that Brad Kenneth Spafford, 36, was first investigated in January 2023 after his neighbor and friend reported that Spafford had lost three fingers on his right hand in July 2021 while working with a homemade explosive device and was stockpiling weapons and homemade ammunition.

Travers Mackel made that request as well as I was keeping up with this on local coverage. A lot of people were calling in concerned about explosive noises downtown.
 
Just to give an update. My brother is doing good. I was able to speak to him. He’s a little out of it but doing good. Still has a long way to go but he should get there. On a sad note my wife’s best friend for 40 years, her son was on Bourbon and was hit by the truck. He is in critical condition. Rough day for the Krodwhodat family.

prayers up friend
 
It bothers me that the talking heads on TV are saying this is a well orchestrated attack. So far a guy ran down people on bourbon with possible explosive devices. There are a few other suspicious persons possibly involved. None of this seems well planned. If this was their plan they are some dumb arse people. There were probably more people gathered at the clover grill, the Nelly deli and Verti marte at that time than on Iberville and bourbon

It seems like a guy lost his sheet and did a terrible thing.
