Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 (edited) Scumbag drives his car into a crowd in New Orleans and kills 15 people, dozens injured! https://apnews.com/article/new-orleans-car-bourbon-street-63a1b43d615af365cb8ba6f5f0583eca Edited January 3 by Rye Miles #13621 4 Quote
John Kloehr Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Officers exchanged gunfire with the attacker. Two officers injured (no details). Attacker not taken into custody. Rumor of IEDs, no evidence they were used, rumor is they were present. FBI is taking over investigation. At press conference, FBI representative stated this attack was not (?) terrorism. Quote
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Wow. This is an example of why I don't like large crowds and big events on holidays. They become targets for nut cases and terrorists. I hope all of our UGA football players were safely under guard in their motel rooms. My prayers for the victims and the New Orleans Police officers, who will bear a lot of overtime on this one. 1 1 Quote
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Governor called it terrorism. Mayor called it terrorism. FBI ... I'll hold comment on the Bureau. I'm with Badlands Bob. No liking for such nut magnets! 4 Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 1 Author Posted January 1 (edited) Mayor said it's a terrorist attack, FBI says it's not! It's a terrorist attack to me whether it's foreign or domestic is the question. · Sad 12 dead and 30 injured after a terrorist driver plowed his car and then got out and fired his weapon at the crowd celebrating new year in Bourbon Street, New Orleans.

Eyesa Horg Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Like guns, the news is calling the vehicle a car, the witness' are calling it a pick up truck. What a shame we can't even celebrate anymore. I stay clear of those sort of crowds nowadays. 2 Quote

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 1 Posted January 1 If it wasn't done by a white man the FBI won't call it a terrorist attack. I'm not seeing any description of the attacker, so we know he wasn't white. 1 2 Quote
John Kloehr Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Next press conference supposedly at 11. But no time zone given... Could be CST or EST. 1 Quote
Jim Brown Posted January 1 Posted January 1 This just goes to show we need to ban vehicles if it saves just one life. More people are killed with vehicles than firearms so it is vital we just ban vehicles to save lives. Same argument as gun laws. 2 3 Quote
John Kloehr Posted January 1 Posted January 1 FBI clarifies (reverses) and now says the event is being investigated as an act of terrorism. Injured count upped to 35 with 10 dead. Still not clear if the perpetrator was shot while trying to get out of his vehicle or if he did exit it before engaging officers in gunfire. One report stating perpetrator was wearing a helmet and body armor. Not confirmed. Also not confirmed, as many as 10 people may have been struck by gunfire. Next news conference looks to be at 11 AM EST, 10 CST. 1 Quote

Authorities are working to determine whether he had any affiliation with ISIS." Obviously Welsh Separatist connection. Edited January 1 by Subdeacon Joe 1 Quote
Trailrider #896 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 FBI says they believe the New Orleans purp did NOT act alone! Explosives found in the vehicle. Suspect jumped out of vehicle shooting at police! They return fire and "neutralized" the suspect! Report some sort of flag related to ISIS was on a pole sticking up from the back of the vehicle! In addition a vehicle exploded in front of Trump Las Vegas Hotel! Reportedly, one person inside the vehicle died! This, too, being investigated as a possible act of terror! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot??? Sugar Bowl game postponed! 1 1 1 Quote

Investigators are urgently working to determine a motive and whether the driver intended to set off an explosion and why." Quote
John Kloehr Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Three men and a woman recorded on cameras placing IEDs in the French Quarter in advance of the attack. Not known if one was the driver/shooter, so 3 to 4 accomplices. I think the number 5 was mentioned in the press conference, but clearly not a lone wolf attack. 2 Quote

Gov is not yet confirming honorable discharge. The 10 year claim was in a video by the shooter from 4 years ago when he was trying to build business as a realtor. He was clean-cut in the video and (side note) wearing a wedding ring, not fully-bearded like in his DRT picture. 1 Quote

Be prepared brothers and sisters I still have not sorted that one, reports for the German market is the attacker held anti Islamic views... So why attack a Christmas market? Quote
Cypress Sun Posted January 1 Posted January 1 I just hope that they can find and capture his accomplices alive so that they can "extract" all information about support for this attack. I really don't care how they "extract" this information. 1 Quote

I really don't care how they "extract" this information. I do care, but only because I hold principles and rights above my personal feelings. However... would also look at state and federal law to see if the accomplices are guilty not only of all the carnage of innocents already perpetrated but also for the death of the driver/shooter. We have that law in Tennessee. If I have to justifiably shoot an attacker, his accomplice is guilty of and accountable for that death too. Edited January 1 by John Kloehr 2 Quote
