The original lady from the FBI who said it wasn't terrorism, or am I confusing her with someone else?

Feels like the bar is very low with the current FBI. They filmed the ISIS flag b4 having that presser apparently.

Yes, her.

possibly but they just need to see the video we saw here. he drove on a wide sidewalk around an active cop car. The situation would have been difficult to fully prevent without completely shutting down the street all the way to the buildings. Even then, a heavy EV can obliterate most barricades

There's honestly no reason to not have permanent bollards on the sidewalks. They put them up on all the walks around the capital building to protect legislators. The permanent ones are low maint and much less expensive as they are just posts.

With that a single squad vehicle could very easily block the street and maybe you don't even need those maintenance nightmare ones.

Not sure if it’s already been posted, but here is an article from CBS about who the victims were, what some of their hopes and dreams were in life, etc.

Victims of Bourbon Street attack in New Orleans include former Princeton football star, aspiring nurse, loving dad

At least 15 people were killed after a driver slammed into a crowd celebrating New Year's on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

Obviously the Vegas incident was to send a message. I’ve heard that the suicide bomber was a Pakistan immigrant on a work visa and also heard he had a military connection with the New Orleans attacker. Nothing confirmed either way. But anyway, the Tesla truck actually prevented that incident from being much worse. I’m sure the attacker thought the batteries would explode and cause much more damage. But they were protected and amazingly never ignited.

Where did you hear that?

Where did you hear that?

A station out of Houston said there were unconfirmed reports that the attacker served in same unit as the New Orleans attacker. It was posted about an hour ago.

The part about a Pakistani on a work visa was going around last night on parts of the web and live discussions. Most everything else from those places ended up being confirmed. But it could be false.

Yes, her.

I have no problem with the FBI waiting before announcing any sort of motives or classification of anything prematurely.

I dont know why folks have such a hard time with Federal LE claiming "terror" when they havent all the info.

They cannot, unlike anonymous folks on twitter, proclaim "terror" based on a curled up flag with one character showing in photo.

my word.

A Pakistani immigrant on a work visa, or indeed any immigrant on a work visa, can not serve in the US Army. The two cannot concur. Please think before posting such blatant disinformation which helps nobody.

Vegas perpetrator:

Wow. So how connected was he to the New Orleans attacker?

Or maybe the bar isnt low and they wanted to confirm identity and motives despite what things look like on appearance before making that announcement.

Still doesn’t take away from the grandstanding and absolutely buffoonery of the Louisiana politicians and the police chief during that press conference. Especially Kennedy.
