Well, if you’re being intellectually honest it shows that you still mitigate risk although you cannot prevent it. The city still floods, homes still get destroyed.

You seem to be an all or nothing type of person, risk mitigation isn’t about preventing every scenario

No but if I can see people getting ran over I can handle watching why this guy did it instead of the government censoring it and protecting this religion instead of exposing it.

Why do we "need" to do anything in response to a random act of terror? I'm more concerned that he was able to get bombs in place that would have been much more devastating than the vehicle was

FBI bomb technicians found ONLY 2 IEDs on burbon st that were functioning


How many did they find that were in the process of being made?

Use of the word "definitive" is very interesting.

Maybe not obscure but it's not as common as others.


350,000 active vehicles in the US. Hertz is like 450,000. It’s one of the most common car rental companies in our country.

It demonstrated a flaw in current preventative measures.

At the very minimum, fixing the flaw would mitigate that.

As well as mitigate other things beyond simple safety protocols.

Turo isn't obscure, anyone who legitimately travels has probably used it. It has been around for awhile.

It’s so commonplace that it’s already enacted in the area. Just updating the system, which already has been in place nearly a decade.


Plopping in like 6 extra bollards potentially is too far a bridge to cross here?

Hard to believe anything after the “not a terrorist attack” comment.

Anyone who cant figure out a simple way to keep cars out of an area is either retarded or stands to profit from a more complicated system.

sigh, again, just how far out do we fix the flaw? And why are you ok with risking other crowded areas where ever you decide to not protect?

And why let Mardi Gras happen at all? That's a way bigger risk than anything in the FQ

Or that were nonfunctional (i.e., built but built incorrectly).
