10 Killed in NOLA

[Mik]

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

[Mik]

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

[George K]

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

[LuFins Dad]

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.

[Mik]

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.

[89th]

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.

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.

[Mik]

He looked more black than Middle Eastern.

[George K]

[LuFins Dad]

Weird.

@Doctor-Phibes

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?

[Horace]

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.

Or an investigation (the I in FBI) into the abuse of power, too. I'm cool with it all. Justice.
