re: January 1, 2025: Multiple casualties on Bourbon Street after terrorist attack..

Has no one thought about him hitting bourbon from the other end and making his way down. Down by Lafittes there's no cops or bollards of any kind and not even blocked off to thru traffic til you hit the hetero bar part of the street. Dude would have been at 120mph if he had blocks to gain speed

Yeah because saying you can hack the cars would hurt sales.

Being able to hack a vehicle was a thing long before CyberTrucks, does Elon think a CyberTruck can’t be hacked?

That makes sense. I was curious about that too. Didn’t think about what damage it had prior to hitting it. Feel bad for those people as their last thoughts were fear because of this loon.

---

Something either distracted him or he couldn't see as the lift was avoidable. Props to the baws for jumping on him immediately.

I am baffled as to why the lunatic didn't launch his attack at midnight when the streets were packed wall to wall, glad he didn't but still confusing.

Wondering if perhaps the street was blocked better at that time.

The driver could have mowed down people on Canal

He could have got some people but there way to many things to hit on the sidewalk and stop/slow a car. In theory you can go blocks down Bourbon without an impediment.

Update from the FBI on New Orleans terror attack:

"Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) personnel from across the country continue to work diligently to further this investigation and evaluate evidence, interview victims and witnesses, and analyze tips related to the New Orleans Bourbon Street attack. Two days into the investigation, the FBI has received almost 1,000 tips, and leads have been sent to FBI Field Offices across the country for investigation.

As of Thursday, January 2, 2025, all evidence recovery along Bourbon Street and a short-term rental home on Mandeville Street in New Orleans, used by subject Shamsud-Din Jabbar, has been completed. At the Mandeville Street location, bomb making materials, which were rendered safe, and other items were found and collected for further processing. FBI special agents located similar materials at the search of Jabbar’s home on Crescent Peak Drive in Houston, Texas.

On January 1 at 5:18 a.m., CST, the New Orleans Fire Department (NOFD) responded to a fire at the Mandeville Street location after the attack on Bourbon Street. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) has determined that Jabbar was the only person who could have had access to the residence when the fire was set. ATF also determined that Jabbar set a small fire in the hallway, and strategically placed accelerants throughout the house in his effort to destroy it and other evidence of his crime. After Jabbar left the residence, the fire burned to a point that it extinguished itself, prior to spreading to other rooms. The ATF investigation revealed that when the NOFD arrived at the scene, the fire was smoldering, allowing for the recovery of evidence, including pre-cursors for bomb making material and a privately made device suspected of being a silencer for a rifle.

Evidence collected from multiple sites are being evaluated to further the investigation. The FBI assesses that during his attack on Bourbon Street, Jabbar intended to use a transmitter, that was found in the F150 truck, to detonate the two IED’s he placed on Bourbon Street. The transmitter, along with 2 firearms connected to Jabbar, is being transported to the FBI Laboratory for additional testing as well as clothing and shell casings from the truck. FBI personnel are also evaluating terabytes worth of video and other data collected by street cameras monitored by the New Orleans Real Time Crime Center.

The FBI continues to surge resources from across the country to assist the New Orleans Field Office. In addition to FBI special agents and personnel based in Louisiana, more than 200 additional personnel have been brought in to assist in this investigation in order to process evidence, support victims, and investigate leads and tips. Personnel support includes, but is not limited to, special agents, victim specialists, evidence technicians, specially trained crisis management personnel, and intelligence analysts.

FBI victim specialists and special agents continue to interview survivors and witnesses. As of January 3, the FBI has identified 35 known injured individuals. The number of injured is expected to rise in the coming days as additional people either take themselves to hospitals with injuries or ask for assistance from the FBI. Fourteen innocent people were killed in the attack. Courageous New Orleans Police Department officers shot and killed Jabbar after he opened fire on them and the crowd on Bourbon Street."

If he walked the area placing IED's, I'm sure he did. My theory is his hood went up from previous impacts causing him to not be able to see,and run into the lift. Either that or there were people blocking his vision.

---

I think this too. Surely he would've walked the route - it isn't that long.

Footage from the Airbnb of the terrorist loading up. It’s tiktok, so not sure if you can watch it without the app.

Because they are blocking for crowd control and regular street traffic more than for terrorism.

which makes them look like bigger idiots for not blocking for terrorism...but I doubt you are correct. They bought those yellow barriers soon after the Nice, France truck attack that killed 86 people in 2016.

They knew about the similar attack in Wisconsin in 2021 and the German Christmas market attack just two weeks ago.

The chief even said they had a plan for an terroristic event like this and the terrorist defeated the plan...those were her exact words...so I think you are rather uninformed on this topic.

I'm telling you now, Mardi Gras is an easier target

no one is disputing that...that has nothing to do with how they screwed up blocking a vehicle from getting on Bourbon.
