Per Google: F150 curb weight: 4,000 - 5,000 lbs F150 Lightning curb weight: 6,500 lbs This would be a LOT of thought involved.


Yep. Weight distribution very different on EVs. Makes them significantly more lethal.

I'm not sure what exactly qualifies as "terrorist" attack, because any attempt on any number of lives should be considered an attack of terror, regardless of motive. It was fricking dumb for them to say it wasn't at the start.

some kind of flag that was covered in the back


The flag is not covered, it appears to have never unfurled.

- 26 injured.
- on-going sweep of the french quarter and downtown. Potentially doing controlled explosions out of an abundance of caution.

I've been waiting to hear this from someone. I wonder how packed the streets still were at 3am. On New Year's Eve, it likely still has huge crowds.

Islam is not compatible with modernity. It needs a reformation. Wherever it thrives, things move backwards. If we open our borders to people who hate Western democracy, “ infidels” and modernity, this is what we get.

Seems the most likely. There were plenty of law enforcement out and having an ISIS flag flying would have made you stand out. Making your efforts harder.

Perhaps they took the armor off of him to give CPR, which they are clearly doing in the overhead video

Islam, at its most essential core is a CONQUEST religion. The violence within it is inherent in a way that it’s not in any other religion. We can call it “ radical” Islam but it’s really just part of what comes with Islam. It cannot ever be a truly peaceful religion in the way Buddhism is for instance. It values and teaches an entirely different lesson.


Back when the GWOT was fresh and people were trying to wrap their heads around Islamic terrorism, I used to try to explain this to them.

One of Islam's main tenants is conversion of the entire world. Convert, pay the infidel tax, or die. Those are your 3 choices.

The people we refer to as "bad" or "radical" Muslims are actually the ones following their religion.

"Good" or "non-radical" Muslims are the ones who aren't.

Good/better people, sure. But ISIS/AQI/Taliban/Etc. are the ones who are the "best" followers of their religion.

The Ford Lightening is heavy, fast and with its batteries could have become a bomb itself.

Props to the responding officers who ended this quickly as they could.

Sucks so much this is how 2025 has to start for so many families

I find this strange also. People post plates on Facebook community groups or the Nextdoor app and the vehicle’s owner is usually identified quickly. There are plenty of folk with access to the database.
