I would be checking cameras at Bucees in Baytown, like I said earlier they have by the far the largest bank of EV chargers

We have people slamming the postponement of the game as “rewarding the terrorists” in the same thread people are slamming the governor for calling the city resilient and promoting the game continuing. Just shows how dysfunctional S La is.


I get what Landry is trying to do: reassure New Orleanians the city is safe and the game will be safe tomorrow.

However, this was a really dumb way to do it that makes himself the topic of discussion. Optics are awful.

I had heard reports of that possibility but didn’t know if it was confirmed or if those reports were just due to the shooting at the end. Sad for the guy to dodge the car but still get hit with gunfire.

You know as someone who rents anywhere from two to three cars a month, I’ve never heard of Turo. What are the odds that both of these guys rent from Turo yet they’re not connected?


I've known about Turo for at least 5 years, and I don't rent a lot of cars. You're going to need more than that.

Not terribly difficult to shoot a gun while driving, regardless of speed.

Not like he was trying to snipe.

In the video OMlandshark posted that was pinned on the first page of this thread. When the shooting first starts, it looks like a civilian is shot and falls backward and then everyone bolts away.

Don't search for it if you don't want to see it. It is the aftermath of the poor girl in the middle of the street on her phone.


Poor girl never had a chance

I don’t know all the details but I assumed he had shot after crashing the vehicle while also combating with police before eventually getting killed

Turo is by far the #1 app for car share.

would venture to guess they dropped them off. No real need for the plane to stick around.


I’m by no means an expert but for a group like these are described, easy access to a plane would be a need - right? Weird all around. Who knows….

Oh MY God!! The bar?!? The GAWD DAMN BAR?!? Would a table be alright in your book? The bar sits 40 people and is the center of the restaurant. .

Some introspection might have been good:

- ISIS terror attack in your city
- Mass casualties
- HUGE media presence
- You’re the mayor of the city

Do I :
A) ask a staff member to pick up a sandwich for me
Or
B) The driver was from Houston? Oh I love Houston’s. They have awesome chicken wangz. Now I’m hawngry. Somebody take me to Houston’s and les go chill out and sit at that bar.
