She said, and I quote, "This is not a terrorist event." She announced prematurely that it was not terrorism. She didn't wait to declare or classify anything accurately. She got it 100% wrong, and did so prematurely. She made a mistake, or was given bad information, but let's not act like she and/or the FBI had all her/their ducks in a row.

She did not get it wrong. She announced it appropriately according to the FBI's guidelines. There are certain things that have to be established and confirmed before the FBI, or any agency can say it was a terrorist attack. As pointed out yesterday.



That first PC was only a few hours after the event, if that, while evidence was still being gathered.

"Trini Lopez. Stop it. Oh, god, I loved that movie".

are you suggesting a polycule? I already indicated I wasn’t ready for stuff like that

Now that I've looked up "polycule", isn't that what the EE is?

Sounds like they are putting lipstick on a pig

Yeah, but she sure is a pretty pig.

From what I thought I heard, the money they're spending was money they specifically got to fix things up in time for the Super Bowl.

I think it probably is. Just saying they are doing all this work in the tourist areas while the rest of the city falls apart.

All part of the plan to keep the Northshore people out.

No doubt. That has always been the case.

I'm still not sure it's what most would consider a "terrorist attack" rather than a mass murder. He had the ISIS flag, but he appears to have no connections to the actual ISIS organization. No contact, no equipment, nothing from ISIS. Seems like he may have been a deeply disturbed person who seized on ISIS as justification to kill others because he snapped.

Maybe they find more and it turns out he had those connections, but it doesn't look like it at this point.

But, in the end it doesn't matter what you call it. 15 people are dead and many others are injured. That's what's important.

They don't call it The City That Care Forgot for no reason.

 

[Madmarsha]

So there's surveillance that shows him placing the IEDs at those intersections where they were found. What time did he do that?
