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.

I suspect it was Turo . Airbnb for cars.

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.

@George-K said in 10 Killed in NOLA:
That whole interview is interesting. First off, he thought the FBI immediately saying this was not a terrorist attack was stupid. Second, he's going to hold the FBI accountable for this investigation with an intense focus on the truth. This is a man who does not want to be lied to or stonewalled.
It's a shame we have gotten to this point, where U.S. Senators no longer trust the Bureau...

The presser was pretty much a disaster. Lots of platitudes, grandstanding and posturing, no real information. Kennedy was the only person that made much sense.

Ah yes the FBI. It's a lawfare just-us organization that needs to be cut while also come on FBI why didn't you stop this?
Also, lost in the headlines, this happened yesterday too: https://apnews.com/article/homemade-bombs-seized-virginia-firearms-c68488480ef8bd3de7b432272399aa28
No, I don't work for the FBI. But I have friends that do, and you would (or wouldn't?) be surprised with how much they thwart beforehand.

The terrorist:
Not really what I was expecting. I wonder how much of this was mental health as opposed to religious fanaticism.

He became radicalized in the last two years. His ex-wife's husband said that it drove her crazy.

Probably quite a lot. Authorities are now stating they believe he acted alone and no one else was involved as previously thought. Moreover no links are showing up with the Tesla bomb in Vegas.
A rabid lone wolf nutter.

Again, resources are not unlimited.
What are your priorities?
People's lives?
Or an exhibition of power?

I don't know anything about this one. On the list of probabilities, I don't put border issues near the top. Maybe we'll get a manifesto. If there were two of them, linking the Las Vegas guy to the NOLA guy, I would hope we get a manifesto, I mean if we're all in agreement that such a document is of public value.
