This is a tragedy and hits home as it's my home town. Perpetrator has been named as Shamsud Din Jabbar. The truck come over the Mexican border a few days ago (WTF). Multiple police raids on suspected terrorist hideouts occurring now.

Prayers to all those impacted.

The lack of replies in this thread shows how desensitized most of us are to all of this I think. Just so sickening and sad. I am pretty anti- gun but clearly if someone is intent on destruction there’s only so much we can do. It’s scary how nowhere seems to be safe now…

it’s new year’s day, I think most people aren’t running to the FFA to post today. Last nights food selection isn’t sitting well with me so a few more bathroom moments for me this morning or I wouldn’t be browsing here either.

Terrible situation and absolute ****ty way to start 2025
 
was with family watching new years celebrations in paris and rome and a sea of wall to wall people. i offhandedly remarked it seems like fun until inevitably someone drives thru the crowd. woke up and read this and sadly, it’s the norm rather than the outlier in this world.
 
I'm listening to the press conference on Sirius XM.....three quick takeaways are that there WAS an ISIS flag on the back of the truck and ISIS "materiel" in the truck, he was a 10 year US military vet and a US citizen and authorities do NOT think he was working on this alone.

Born and raised in TX, 10 years with the U.S. Army, college grad, real estate agent, former Deloitte. Not sure how or why things went sideways.
 
Investigators at this press conference stated they don’t believe this dude was the only one involved. So yea, I think there is a lot of concern.

Or people are finally learning that SM pretty much sucks and to not jump to conclusions anymore. Maybe wishful thinking on my part.
 
Sugar Bowl has been postponed until Thursday night. Wonder if they are worried about or have Intel about another attack
I think it’s more than likely that they have too many resources now tied up with the attack to properly handle tonight. If they think there is a possibility of another attack then they will move the game to another location. safety of life is #1 over a college football game and postponing everything a few days if they have to move locations will take precedence

Indoctrination.

That is the biggest threat taking place on college campuses around our country, in our schools, in our own government.

I won’t make any further comments on that.

This is a horrible tragedy and we need to get control of what is actually going on In our country before it spirals to an even darker place.

We live free…..and you can’t have freedom for free. That is the price we all pay for living in the greatest country in the world. At the same time we need to realize this was in the making for a little while.

And more will come.

Sad sad day. Horrible to even have to talk about this.

Time to wake up as a country and understand the kind of war that is being waged by Islamic Jihadist’s

This evil wants to destroy us from within. Make no mistake.

You think a 10-year military vet was indoctrinated on a college campus? Based on what?

That's not what he said at all.
But not the thread to argue... His point was indoctrination is the biggest threat and it's happening on college campuses, schools, government.....

Or lonely people latch on to online rabbit holes imo

Eta: there was a special or documentary on how teens female/male slowly get turned online into beliefs they weren't brought up on and aligned with ISIS...they have "online operatives".... It was sad scary stuff tbh

it was a truck rented via the turo app in Texas, where it came from before doesn’t matter
this part disturbs me....Why are we sitting on "terrorist hideouts?" I get it you cant just go raiding every house you think something funky is going on, but to act this quickly tells me that these locations must have been on the radar for some time and well known internally. How are we allowing hideouts like that to just exist.

Dude…..I just even can’t.

Not him in particular.

But he was indoctrinated by Isis apparently. Kinda obvious already.

I made a general statement of what is going on. If you can’t see that…..then just keep carrying as you are.

Thank you yes. And now we see another example of what makes having any rational discussions here about anything like this topic almost impossible.

Movies, music, video games….I’ll stick to that. Because of posts like his.

I frequently think of the book “one second after” where the country sustains an EMP attack. I can’t help but think of the hordes of people who are searching for a way…

I'm naive to police logistics, but I was guessing they discovered a bunch of Intel from the driver- car, phone, house, etc and are acting immediately.

Or they've known about these location and there wasn't enough cause to raid them until now.

Because I asked you what your comment was based on? I didn't know if you were relaying something you heard about the guy in this case or some general opinion you have. I was not following what you were saying, so I asked what it was based on. I didn't think that was an irrational question.

based on what I see on tv and movies, I assume it is part of a longer-term strategy to gather information and/or get more ironclad information in order to prosecute effectively. But I really have no idea

There is a damn good documentary on Showtime/Paramount Plus called American Jihad.
 
Was NYE festivities open to cars? Or did this person smash through something to get to these people?

I'm just trying to understand the bigger picture, not prove a point. Horrible either way.

Heard that NO has bollards but that there were several missing as they were undergoing repair and they were just using orange cones.

From this link: https://www.wapt.com/article/mississippians-in-new-orleans-say-attack-sets-somber-tone/63316742

Carson said his wife noticed metal bollards were not in place on Bourbon Street as crowds gathered for the Sugar Bowl Parade. New Orleans officials said the barriers had been removed to be renovated for the Super Bowl.

The area he went thru was under some sort of “improvement construction” where the typical barriers were removed.

He took advantage and this was carefully planned.

I believe the AP article explained this.
 
Also, a Cybertruck exploded outside Trump hotel in Vegas this morning. Apparently, authorities are treating it as a possible terrorist attack.

Absolutely. The recent female school shooter seemed to have been an active participant in online white supremacist/nazi communities. The internet makes extremist groups much more easily accessible and a lot of those groups have grown very savvy with recruiting/indoctrination.

Loneliness is a very real issue in our culture and many people feel disconnected and angry. Groups are exploiting that

copy/paste:

The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that recently-found surveillance footage shows multiple suspects placing an explosive device in New Orleans, citing an intelligence bulletin from the Louisiana State Police.

The footage, which has not been released to the public, allegedly shows three men and one woman placing one improvised explosive device (IED) in the French Quarter. Authorities believe that the group placed multiple IEDs in the area.

Suspects hid the devices, which were wired for remote control, within coolers. Authorities later found a remote control was discovered inside the vehicle that
