Looks like they're running out of blood in NOLA. If you're in the area, give some.
Latest news. The pickup looks like it has an ISIS flag. There were 4 suspected IEDs found in the French quarter. Looks like a home has been isolated and raided by police.
Oh, an isis scumbag. Just what the incoming administration needs to yell about rounding up Muslims, too.
Of course, the White Nationalist accelerationist with the largest homemade explosives ever found by the FBI a few days ago will be ignored.
NOLA.com, citing one unidentified law enforcement source, reported that same suspect was carrying an ISIS flag in the truck. Reuters was unable to verify the reports and the U.S. Army did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Why did they reach out to the US Army? Only other mention that could be in reference to the Army is this later on in the article:
A bystander is seen kneeling over one of the bodies as a group of uniformed military personnel in green uniforms and carrying firearms runs past.
But it would be super weird for the Army to be doing domestic policing, wouldn't it? And it doesn't really relate to the suspect having an ISIS flag.
Weird.
Another source said he was an Army veteran. I don’t have it on hand, but it was a law enforcement source speaking to the Advocate.
Thanks. Weird they left that out of the article.
His LinkedIn listed him as being an IT tech for the army before it was taken down?
They’ve been beefing up security for the Sugar Bowl (today - now postponed) and the Stupid Bowl in a few weeks. Thats part of it - we saw that with the times square NYE preparation.
The green uniforms I saw in pictures were of state police
"As we search for a motive, remember there is no making sense of evil," said New Orleans City Councilman Oliver Thomas.
Kind of a weird claim. Most evil makes sense. Like, sure, kicking a puppy is kind of nonsense. But a lot of evil is "my tribe is better than your tribe" or "I want power more than I want you to be safe"
This trend has to stop. Innocent people walking down the street or shopping at Christmas markets are not the cause for your insane skewed reality. Ugh.
