So, why didn’t he detonate the bombs before he turned?


Could be that they didn’t work and running people over was plan B and C.

Maybe Plan A was…

1. Blow devices

2. Shoot as people run.

The remote for detonating these bombs was supposedly in his truck. He had to know when he pealed down Bourbon, it was a suicide drive and he was going to die. So, why didn’t he detonate the bombs before he turned?


He likely didn’t expect to culminate with hitting a lift at high speeds and knocking himself silly and anticipated having a chance for a standoff/shootout/maybe even running away in the chaos

I mean I don't really want to go look again. I searched "New Orleans" and clicked on the video tab. But that was hours ago. Here is one of the less graphic ones LINK

It's a restaurant you Puritan. Everyone eats at the bar in this city. You'll be shocked to know people eat at the bar and don't drink.


You are correct, I stand down. The proper place to be today for the mayor was at an upscale restaurant sitting at the bar for lunch.
Carry on champ.

Certainly isn't an improper place to be.

You can always bank on some great PFG’s at any post-emergency press conference.


It’s always funny to me how politicians dress up at emergency press conferences like they’re about to take down the perp themselves or start pulling people out of floodwaters

Everyone here would need a drink in her situation today. I sure as hell would.


Probably the most normal thing she's done as Mayor.

CNN reporting police are hours away from entering home in Texas due to waiting on fed govt.

wtf this can’t be serious they’ve been there for hours and still don’t have permission to enter?

It’s the bar where they had the shootout and killed him. I can tell you when I left there was three NOPD cops standing in the street next to the bar.

I have seen reports that say his truck was seen leaving Beaumont earlier in the day, last scanned at Baytown, heading I 10 east. But then I have also seen reports that have said that that truck was parked at the Air BNB for the past two weeks.


Could be both. Maybe he’d been in Nola for 2 weeks and returned home for some reason.

Another kudos to the officers in the quarter last night. Very quick to respond with lethal force. Cheers

Someone then says: "I don't get it".

Kennedy dead-pans: "You wouldn't".

Boom! Roasted!

Maybe a press conference over an ISIS terror attack is not the best environment for roast humor.

But I guess it was worth a try. It took a while for 9/11 jokes to take off, so I guess somebody has to go first.
