Wonder if he worked from home full time in his occupation.

After browsing facebook of the deceased these were good young innocent people who had their life taken. So sad and tragic. May they RIP

Looks like they cleared everything they needed and left it as is after the raid. Trust me the government isn't worried about replacing your door after raiding your house. Ask the Jan 6th grandma's

I don't think he was going to leave his kids money considering he thought this was the alternative to just straight up killing his family.

They beat the police there My bad. Video from after police were there. In that case, I have no idea.


I mean surely their investigation of the property would last more than a few hours, and certainly wouldn’t allow anyone in to potentially mess with any evidence right?

Maybe I’m reaching but definitely seems weird to me.

I mean it is entirely possible he was normal and met some radicals at the Mosque he attended. They had him move from his apartment to the trailer park and continued to radicalize him. Easier to manipulate him than doing the deed themselves.

Does this seem pretty strange to any of you baws? How TF did NY Post get access for this so quickly?


Frankly, someone should be raising hell that lives in the house about it being left unsecured and/or pressing charges for them entering it

Setting the standard that news should race to the house to knock on doors before the fbi does and then bust in to broadcast the home immediately upon departure is not great

Fair enough - I was just spitballing without much analysis there. Though a year ago his plans may have been different than last week

The other temporary bollards that mount into the ground (metal holes in the ground) are under where the cop car is.

Those little tracks got full of Mardi Gras beads making them difficult to operate. They quit using them. These would be better.

Yeah this guy drove on the side walk and accelerated, where he ran over people before finally hitting something that caused him to stop. If the barriers were up would they have stopped him from going onto the sidewalk?

As I’m sure you have been informed about, he’s has three divorces and is paying child support and probably court cost, lawyer fees, and a lawsuit or two. Probably been out of work some as well.

2 divorces and child support will do that.

Squeezing between the white barricade and the wall would be really tight. Would need a tape measure to know.

The sliding bollards are gone at this end of the street now.

The slip in bollards under the police car would have been no different, I think.

It would’ve been much more challenging to make it several blocks swerving to avoid them, if he would’ve fit at all once on bourbon and not out on the sidewalk on canal

At the speeds he was going? Absolutely. The lift that he ran into was in the middle of the road. He couldn't avoid that.

Even without one in the sidewalk? Would he have fit using that truck?
