So the suspect who plowed a truck into New Year's Eve celebrations in New Orleans is a terrorist. But every white mass shooter and murderer has mental issues. Got it! |
The usual noise will conjure up a scapegoat.
Ah, the freedom of speech.
By the way, what does a visit from the incumbent president, incumbent vice president, president-elect, vice president-elect and governor gonna do?
Absolutely nothing. Other than a photo-op, a huge burden on law enforcement and a distraction from getting to the motives of that suspect.
The suspect was an American man from Texas. He was 42 year old Black man who served in the U.S. military. He was shot and killed by New Orleans Police.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, President-elect Donald J. Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance, Gov. Jeff Landry, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Sen. John N. Kennedy (R-LA), House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Rep. Troy Carter (D-LA), the other U.S. House Louisiana members and incoming members as well as New Orleans mayor LaToya Cantrell were informed and have reacted to this.
The College Football Playoffs have postponed the Norte Dame Fighting Irish and Georgia Bulldogs quarterfinal game tonight. The Sugar Bowl game as well as the Super Bowl will be held at Caesars Superdome.
The Sugar Bowl will be on Thursday at 4pm.
The Super Bowl LIX will be held on Feb. 9, 2025.
The suspect was a real estate agent. He had a history of mental illness. But let's just leave that out. Of course, he's Black and a Muslim, so....
So here we go again....!
Scapegoating Blacks, Muslims, transgenders, immigrants and progressives.
Of course, the far right will try to drive up the "radical Islam" and "weak on" nonsense.
The freedom of speech allows morons to spread disinformation to the public.
Folks zeroed in on the body language of far right senator John N Kennedy. He showed utter disdain for the FBI spokeswoman. She is the Black woman on the right. |
Fox being the primary source of false, misleading, racist, xenophobic, homophobic and deceptive news coverage.
Trump, Fox, several Republican lawmakers, far right influencers and Israel will exploit this.
Allegedly he carried the flag of Daesh.
It is not a crime to wave the flag of Daesh. So miss me with the bullshit. It is protected freedom of speech. You may not like it but it's was his right to fly any flag of his choosing. You can wave any flag you want in the U.S. without fear or reprecusssion.
Everything can't be terrorism when you have lawmakers, the elite and the privilege killing people too.
The suspect in the New Orleans truck crash that killed 10 people and injured 30 revelers in New Orleans on New Year’s Day was killed after a firefight with police, law enforcement officials told the AP.

The suspect rammed a vehicle at high speed into a crowd of pedestrians in New Orleans’ bustling French Quarter district at 3:15 a.m. Wednesday along Bourbon Street, known worldwide as one of the largest destinations for New Year’s Eve parties, and with crowds in the city ballooning in anticipation for the Sugar Bowl college football playoff game at the nearby Superdome later in the day.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the terrorist in the New Orleans attack was an American citizen born in Texas, NOT an undocumented immigrant, and he was even a Veteran of the U.S. Army.

At a news conference, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell described the killings as a “terrorist attack” and the city’s police chief said the act was clearly intentional. But an assistant FBI agent in charge declared that it was “not a terrorist event.” The news conference ended before authorities could reconcile the two characterizations.
Alethea Duncan, an assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s New Orleans field office, said officials were investigating the discovery of at least one suspected improvised explosive device at the scene.
Police Commissioner Anne Kirkpatrick said police officers would work to ensure safety at the Sugar Bowl, indicating that the game would go on as scheduled.
“He was hell-bent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did,” Kirkpatrick said. “It was very intentional behavior. This man was trying to run over as many people as he could.”
The suspect tried to shoot police or run them down. They stopped him. |
Two police officers who were shot after the driver emerged from the truck are in stable condition, she said.
Officials did not immediately provide an update on the status of the driver, whether there was an ongoing threat to the public or offer a suspected motive in the fatal incident.
NOLA Ready, the city’s emergency preparedness department, said the injured had been taken to five local hospitals.
The White House said President Joe Biden has been briefed. Attorney General Merrick Garland was also briefed on the attack, the Justice Department said.
The FBI identified the suspect as Shamsud-Din Jabbar (October 26, 1982 – January 1, 2025), a 42-year-old Muslim American citizen born and raised in Texas who lived in a Houston neighborhood in northern Harris County at the time of the attack, and was a former resident of Beaumont.
He served the US Army for 10 years as a human resources specialist and an information technology specialist and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009, rising to the rank of staff sergeant. He was honorably discharged. His past criminal history included a 2002 arrest for misdemeanor theft and a 2005 arrest for driving with an invalid license. Jabbar was twice divorced, resulting in financial problems. He had two daughters, aged 20 and 15 at the time of the attack. A brother of Jabbar said that he converted to Islam at a young age. A friend of him said he noticed that he had "gotten really passionate" about his faith when they reconnected on Facebook around 2017. The husband of one of his ex-wives said that Jabbar had been acting erratically in the months before the attack.
Althea Duncan, assistant special agent in charge of FBI New Orleans field office, said investigators do not believe Jabbar acted alone. New Orleans police have reviewed surveillance video that appears to show several people planting potential explosive devices in advance of the vehicle attack, which led them to believe he was not "solely responsible," sources said.
