Why will you post it on Twitter but not here?


This was initially and nothing that compromised any investigation.

I simply didn’t post it here. Go look at the time stamps. It’s all stuff that was released a few hours after.

And again, I’m probably full of shite. No one on the internet has a life outside of the internet.

erious question, If the fbi waited this long to speak of another ied location then what benefit is there for them to ever come forth with this information?


It’s not a public accessible location. It may be something that comes out much later, like when they do a full roll up.

Uncle Marty is a resilient man as is every other Bech I have ever met. They are a loving family and one that welcomed me in well before I ever officially married in. It's a family that repeatedly and constantly gives without asking in return. While this is a very difficult time for all of them, I confident they will support each other, lift each other up like they always do. It breaks my heart for the entire family.

Whatever it is is not enough. Brains were literally scattered on Bourbon Street with mangled bodies of recent high school and college graduates for crying out loud. I'm getting all worked up right now just typing it and thinking about it. frick this guy, frick ISIS, and frick anyone who doesn't want to run through a brick wall right now for America. I'm shocked at how angry I'm getting over this.


You should probably direct some of that anger towards the US government. Specifically, the CIA. They funded ISIS in Syria to overthrow Assad. Once again, we helped create the monster.

Still doesn't make much sense why he chose to do it at that particular time, though.



We don't know if he drove by earlier and didn't think he get through or something

My sources say that when he hit the guy on the scooter, it threw the truck off kilter going at that speed and that is what caused him to hit the crane.

Yeah I'm assuming he thought he could get around it somehow. Still doesn't explain why he chose that odd hour to do it

Homeland Security source told another co-worker (not at the scene) that he may have been circling around the area. Apparently, around midnight, there were two NOPD cars blocking off Bourbon at Canal. I suppose as the crowds thinned out after midnight, one of the cars left. That is when the terrorist made his move.

This is nothing verified; only "talk" amongst LEO associates. I would think this may come out later on after camera video is reviewed.

If true, what value did those 2 organizations add to what appeared to be a primitive operation that anyone could pull off without any semblance of specialized knowledge?


ISIS is only interested in the headline. They want a very soft target, some shock value, and the flag.

AQ is far more interested in economic impact, something much more long term.

Their common goal is the caliphate. ISIS provided and the plan is to again provide Ruqqa. Without Ruqqa, their “book of revelations” can’t occur.

AQ provides far superior training and they bring in over 1B a month in funding. Their intermediate goal is two recognized Islamic states that declare jihad on the west. Two recognized states triggers a holy obligation by all Muslims. It’s why they even bothered supporting al shabab. AQSL has never been a fan, but because they had AQAP in place, and Somalia was right across the straits, it was a potential 2 Islamic states, governments, etc., if successful.

Of course Al shabab was far more interested in tribalism and the relationship was fractional, at best. They offed Omar Hamami and harun fazul, two very good and competent guys, all because of tribalism.

This is a part of a wider swath of attacks that very well could
Continue to unfurl.

If you really are interested in the inner workings and why this aligns, the things that point to a larger picture, I’m more than happy to share some of that stuff.

I’m not interested in some jack arse thinking everyone is full of shite, lol.

Wasn't he photographed putting out the coolers sometime between 1 am and 2 am?

I had been waiting to see confirmation on who was actually responsible (whether NOPD, State Police, combo). Good for NOPD.


The news was reporting that the terrorist got out of the truck and opened fired on the NOPD officers. This is not accurate. He fired while still inside the truck and was shot inside the truck then pulled out. Friend saw it happen.

Friend said if you see the video with the gunfire in the background, you hear a few pops and then a bunch of rapid gunfire. The pops came from the terrorist; the rapid gunfire was NOPD unloading on the guy.

Possibly. Can't say.

The part about him circling is the only thing I've shared that wasn't relayed to me by a first-hand witness. That's why I said it is only talk.

If y'all could have heard some of the stuff he told me...the types of injuries encountered and the condition of some of the deceased....it makes you sick and pissed off to no end. I guess it hits harder because you are hearing it from a first-hand witness and it is local. New Orleans may be a shithole, but it's our shithole, damn it.

The only comfort I find in it all is that the guy is burning in hell.

I've seen that one video that was particularly graphic so I believe you there. Bodies were mangled into contortions a human body isn't supposed to be in and brains were on the street. Just unfathomable. I hope those poor souls died instantly.

Many did, some did not. There is one thing in particular he told me that I think he'll be seeing in his dreams for a long time. It was bad. This guy was a Marine who did stints in Afghanistan. He doesn't bullshite.

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


His plan was probably to detonate them as he passed by them on his drive. Seeing as he only got three blocks he probably never got close enough to them to trigger detonation. Likely using short range RF transmitters.

This has been my thinking as well.

So if he planted another bomb in a non-public location, either he evaded some type of security to do it himself or he had help.

If you aren't bullshitting us, which I suspect you are because anyone with inside knowledge of an investigation into a fricking terrorist attack would have to be retarded to post it on a public forum, then there's way more to this than what the public knows.

The crane was another block or two down from where the bombs were. Perhaps didn't walk that far.

Possible clipped one of the bollards that were still in the street and just lost control into the crane as well. Perhaps was shot/incapacitated and lost control.
