It is much easier to process that it was a jihadi border crosser just out of ISIS training than the guy you like in the gym who sold real estate in your city . Thats the insipid part of Islamist terrorism. We hate to imagine it’s a guy with all these same cultural similarities when we can imagine it’s something more diabolical in origin.
Jihadi John famously had a crisp British accent when he was cutting people’s heads off. These “people” might live among us and have token participation in our communities, but make no mistake, they aren’t our friends and never will be. They drop the integration facade as soon as they have a majority, and then usher in their 7th century warlord’s ideology.

When do we find out that this guy was on the FBI's radar for some time?


Who knows. All the FBI’s resources have been devoted to finding January 6ers. Got to round up every last grandma who peacefully walked into the Capitol. They got no resources to devote to Muslim terror.

Disclaimer: I'm not suggesting this is this guy's story.

These sleepers here in America are told to assimilate into our culture, get normal jobs, live normal lives, etc. until Allah calls them home. It's possible this guy was one of those.

What is that around his neck?


Could be a plate carrier with spare mags. Guy is in military style fatigues. Appears he went full out.

Why are people so sure the terrorist was targeting the sugar bowl?

Bourbon street on new years is a prime target.

Where is the evidence that the sugar bowl is going to be targeted today?

Haven't seen this anywhere.

Per ESPN, the Sugar Bowl is going on as planned.

WWL confirming it was a Turo rental. Probably the quickest and most accurate news source.

Yet, at the same time, the ticker states the game will go on as planned.



Also, of course they're gonna lock everyone down - no brainer.
