Why wasn’t barriers set up to prevent vehicular traffic? That should be standard protocol. Ugh. That’s incompetency.

suzeq638.bsky.social•53 days ago

There were barricades on Bourbon Street. He drove around and through them.

lisanv.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thank you. Guess my version of barricades and theirs is different. I worked highway construction for 27 years. I know barricades. But, if they had an entry point and someone is hellbent to do an act like that…….

The whole thing smells really weird. I've seen reports that this guy crossed the Mexican border two days ago, then I guess drove straight to NO to do this? Either way, he looks brown enough to check all the needed MAGA boxes, regardless of WHICH box it is (ISIS vs. Mexican).

onewokecitizen.bsky.social•53 days ago

Honestly my first thought was this was some deranged MAGA person

It reminds me of the attack in Germany. A Saudi immigrant who helped immigrants, but also was anti immigration and anti Islam, following the far right racist party. Just the inverse. I wonder how people are fed so much bs that they don't even see the contradictions in their own thinking.

Trump will have his reason for travel bans…i still think it’s weird.

mynahleague.bsky.social•53 days ago

ISIS drove from texas in a texas pickup to New Orleans full of ammo? How? Seems really weird.

capeoian.bsky.social•53 days ago

I’ve seen posts that ABC said the truck was rented through a car sharing app but I can’t seem to find that report on ABC’s site, so take that with a large grain of salt for now.

melodykayyoung.bsky.social•53 days ago

I saw reports it was a stolen vehicle, so we should wait for info, but it’s interesting.

He’s U.S. Army.

Domestic terrorism.

Dr. Loupis and Jake Shields will hear about the news and instantly come to blame the whole Jewish community for the incident.

Is the guy in the Cleveland Browns jacket looting a victim?

ghosttomost.bsky.social•53 days ago

No. They were probably going to assist or lift the bike of of them but the gun fire made them all scurry.

camerajockey.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thanks for the clarification.

semisweetwilliam.bsky.social•53 days ago

Seems like ABC is assisting to create a narrative right away…

So incredibly sad 😞. Prayers to the victims & their families 💔

tomchilds.bsky.social•53 days ago

"Working to determine" doesn't necessarily mean they have reason to think it was that. They will be eliminating possibilities until/unless they find the proverbial "smoking gun" indicating motives.

randallllovejoy.bsky.social•53 days ago

There’s been countless MAGA extremist in pickup trucks ramming people over.

Sending prayers up for all the victims and their families🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 ... utopia in the earthly realm has never existed for the human race, however, we strive to question, learn, heal and grow in a positive manner from these types of violent, dark and random occurrences... -DW #NewOrleans #NewYear2025

Does Abbot know anything about Texans? He must have heard some chatter and he failed to report it. This was allowed to happen.

bossyzana.bsky.social•53 days ago

My heart does not believe it is ISIS. It’s a home grown terrorist. Hate to say it but I would say a white male right wing. I could b wrong but…

paulrogers.bsky.social•53 days ago

If they were white it'll be "mentally ill".
If they're not white, it'll be "terrorism".

observers.news•53 days ago

If they're a white cop, it's best intentions with qualified immunity.

weshlovrcm.bsky.social•53 days ago

Did the driver have a connection to MAGA?

readingwarrior.bsky.social•53 days ago

That would be a gift to Trump. Synecdoche, anyone.

adambomberger.bsky.social•53 days ago

I read the driver had an Islamic State Flag. Made me think, I saw a truck parked in the parking lot of my local grocery store last week. Inside the cab, there were 2 little Confederate flags hung up. If that said Truck ran into a group of people would it be considered terrorism?

gopjesus.bsky.social•53 days ago

Wait, what?

I thought President Trump defeated ISIS.

theelliegator.bsky.social•53 days ago

But I thought Trump got rid of ISIS?
