Horrific mass murder/attack in French Quarter

In the context that I used the word sick, there is not a whole lot of difference.

 

It happened for the same reason they all happen, from Columbine to Vegas to Sandy Hook to OKC to wherever. A disaffected or disconnected male got angry and lashed out. The excuse they use for their barbarism changes, how they got to their final state changes (and this idiot may have been radicalized), whether their excuse is political or personal changes, but the underlying psychology on these guys usually doesn’t.
I will say though that if it turns out to have had a larger orchestration, that’s a different discussion. I am sure that’s why they postponed the game, until they can be sure he is or isn’t working with someone or there isn’t another shoe to drop, they erred for caution.

 

Only report I have seen that said anything about him shooting into the crowd. That says witnesses reported he was shooting into the crowd. The report also says he got out of the truck and shot at police while other articles I have read said he was shooting from the truck. Again the statement the original poster left did not match the link he posted and that is why I questioned it. I am always suspect of the media trying to weave the "gun" part into a bigger part of the attack than it was. I have seen no mention of anyone being shot other than the two police officers. It may turn out he shot 30 people but so far that has not been reported. If he did shoot into the crowd he would have hit a lot of people I would think.

 

Not at 3:15, he wouldn't necessarily. He likely chose to go later because the people would be a bit more dispersed by then. He wouldn't have been able to develop speed with his truck due to the wall-to-wall people from 12:10-1:30 or so. The vast majority of injured people appear to be due to his use of the truck (and that has been the focus of the media coverage that I have seen), but he was certainly shooting at some point as well.

 

Authorities have found other IEDs scattered around the area. Unsure if they are the same type as the one found in the Ford F-150 Lightning. Also, authorities believe this was not a lone-wolf attack.

 

Local fox is chyron saying fbi reviewed footage of 4 people placing explosives. Haven’t seen discussion of same

 

Texas born dude was an isis fighter who crossed the border into the US? Ok.

 

wow
Why was someone filming that particular truck like that?

 

that is strange

 

Maybe it was a regular recording and then edited after the news came out?
Dunno.

 

I think it’s a fixed street cam and someone was panning across a screen playing the video with their phone to follow the truck while recording. I’ve seen the fixed street cam video itself somewhere (likely Twitter?) but can’t find it again right now.

 

You can see the video monitor with a list of feeds at the start of the video. The phone was following the truck across the screen after the fact.

 

I also put this on the thread about how Biden is such a liar ...

Biden had a sober, reasonable response to the New Orleans attack. Trump, of course, had to include falsehoods and accusations.

What Trump, Biden and Louisiana officials are saying about deadly attack on Bourbon Street

 

I am not sure I understand.

 

I was listening to a news report and Senator John Kennedy just said there were 4 to 5 others involved in this attack

 

Did they ever verify that the “other” devices were legit vs just suspicious

 

University of Georgia confirmed one of their students was injured.
