No word on who he was?

Someone on Bluesky has a suggestion as to how to prevent such things in the future.

Came in from Mexico two days ago, it seems. Doesn’t say anything about ethnicity.

The flag is gone...

Compare with post #7.

[Mik]

There's a press conference on now. Apparently, he was an American citizen of Middle Eastern descent, based on his name. He did have an ISIS flag. They are postponing the Sugar Bowl one day.

An Airbnb where the suspect who allegedly drove into a crowd at a New Year's celebration in New Orleans was staying burned down, according to local news reports.

Newsweek reached out to the New Orleans Fire Department via phone and email for comment. Newsweek also reached out to the Airbnb communication team via email.

Nola.com reported that people were evacuated from the St. Roch area in New Orleans Wednesday morning after a fire broke out at an Airbnb. The site reported that law enforcement officials, as well as bomb squad detectives, were called to 1329 Mandeville Street. The Airbnb is about a mile and a half from where the attack took place.

Newsweek did not find a listed Airbnb at this address, but there are multiple in the area, including one across the street.

Local news station WDSU reported that a woman who lived near the fire arrived home around 5 a.m., and the fire department was already in the area.

His place was only a couple blocks from where we stayed.

If there is any significant number of attacks you can kiss the Democrats goodbye for 8 years.

The (alleged) murderer's mosque comments, "It is important you do not respond."

Weird coincidence that this guy and the driver of the Tesla bomb both rented their vehicles from the same app.

[jon-nyc]

What app is that?

[Mik]

I suspect it was Turo . Airbnb for cars.

[89th]

Yeah it was Turo. I used it a few years ago when it was impossible to get rental cars. It met the need but I haven't used it since because rental cars are accessible again.
