Attack on Bourbon Street, New Orleans

All of you have probably heard about this attack by now. Here is what we know so far, but there is much more that we do not know.

At least 10 people have been killed, and 30 injured, by a person driving a truck purposely targeting the crowds of people to murder as many people as he could. I believe that the number of dead and injured will increase.

The criminal also engaged in gunfire with police, injuring two officers. He is dead, whether by his own hand or those of NOPD. A police press conference is scheduled for noon today at police headquarters.

In the meantime, here is a video report from Fox News, and a former FBI agent:

    Has any official or media personality had the guts yet to say exactly what caused this man to commit his heinous crimes? If the jihadis can’t slit the throat, they are allowed by their religion to kill “infidels” by any means necessary. The assassin was obviously a believer in the literal interpretation of their religious writings. Not all Muslims are literal followers of their religion.

    Islamic scholar Saudi Sheikh Mohammed al-Arefe has said: “Devotion to jihad for the sake of Allah, and the desire to shed blood, to smash skulls, and to sever limbs for the sake of Allah and in defense of His religion, is, undoubtedly, an honor for the believer. Allah said that if a man fights the infidels, the infidels will be unable to prepare to fight.” – Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch

    For more information, read the writings of Spencer. This article is a good start…

    When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true. The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before. Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department. The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!

    News media highlight the “veteran” status of the terrorist. That may come back to bite them.

    Investigation of his military background is warranted.

    All of this is designed to taint the New Year.

    Kill, steal and destroy. Menagerie has it. Satan’s playbook.

    News flash: He does not win. And we are to mightily resist him.

    And we can.

    TV shows the street is clean and looks ready for revealers later today. Bowl game rescheduled for 3 today.

    Info on the terrorists last night was he is divorced, had some post he was thinking of killing his family but decided to do this instead. Influenced but not directed by ISIS.

    Texan, the gated home the Fed I’d checking out in northwest HOU looks interesting. Main house, metal buildings. Livestock.
