Apologize for what ? Earlier I posted that whether the suspect was foreign or domestic I consider it terrorism just like the bombing in Oklahoma City was. Who cares where the perpetrator came from ? To me the bigger issue is that events like this have become all too commonplace with no end in sight.
The FBI is talking to the actual owner of the truck who has apparently been a TURO provider for quite some time. This per ABC News. News conference scheduled for 2pm.
I don’t know that they’re more common place, but it’s obvious in today’s immediate media environment that they’re reported on a nationwide basis instead of remaining on a localized basis.
When you live in an open and free society this is a byproduct of those freedoms
Far from it, we remain an open and free society and we enjoy incredible luxuries, like watching Notre Dame play Georgia tonight
Horseshit, I’ve got more empathy, character and integrity, in my pinky then you have in your entire body
My son just texted me to say the game was going to be postponed. But I don't how good his source is.
Far from it?
I am going to leave politics off the board other than are you aware of the Patriot Act and the constitutional rights it has disintegrated?
The America I live in is much different than the one I grew up in
Sugar Bowl has been postponed to Thursday following a terrorist attack that killed 15
NEW ORLEANS — The Sugar Bowl has been postponed to Thursday night after a terrorist attack killed 15 people and injured dozens, New Orleans District Attorney Jacob Williams told ABC News on Wednesday.
Getting conflicting reports. Articles saying it's postponed others saying it's still on.

I worked in many of the parish right after Katrina including New Orealens for years.
I believe a friend to the board from the USC board "beach" had connection to the area by way of Tulane.
I pray him and his family were not in, or around the area at the time of this tragedy

Good point. I don’t believe your posts
It’s postponed for sureGetting conflicting reports. Articles saying it's postponed others saying it's still on.

Texas-born, US veteran, experiencing financial difficulties, with an ISIS flag on his truck. I saw something a few minutes ago, where the FBI said they do not believe he acted alone. Just one crazy ass cocktail.
only the real fools believe what is on the Main Stream Media
Shamsud-Din Jabbar
is his name
and it was an Isis flag.
Home grown terrorist.
Islamofascism strikes again from all appearances.

Terrorist weren’t flying airplanes into buildings and killing thousands of people when you we’re growing up.
I’m very familiar with the Patriot Act, which also includes statutes dealing with elder abuse !
Thanks, that might explain why they delayed releasing his name
Ex US Army vet
Born in 82
The subject in todays attack in New Orleans has been identified as Shamsud Din JABBAR, DOB:10/26/1982
Open source photos show what appears to be an ISIS flag, this is unconfirmed as of now.
We are in the process of gathering information on JABBAR. We do know he had prior US Military service in the Army.
There have been 2 IED’s located. Both homemade pipe bombs with nails, placed in blue coolers. One was found at JAX Brewery and the other near Wildlife and Fisheries and LSP vehicles.
The number of fatalities has increased to 15.
you have to dig around to find out stuff. Amazingly this came off of the New York Times website. He had a real estate company that had been apparently doing badly and he was going through a messy divorce. I wonder about his name and the Isis Flag. Sounds like he was radicalized as they call it in the last couple of years.
I'm taking info with a grain of salt, but Shamsud-Din Jabbar apparently was born and raised in Texas. Veteran. How radicalized could he be? I'll be surprised if he didn't act alone...so far it sounds like a man who needed an excuse to go out in a blaze.
If it was coordinated, 1 day might not be enough to secure things. It's all too easy to prepare and carry out delayed terrorism. No margin for error.
But as I posted in other threads, I trust the authorities...and hope they're competent and up to the job.

There are hints he went basically nuts down the road of so many using a religion as excuse for doing terrible things
Sorry, my trust in any law enforcement is very low. Too much has happened over the years to be ready to believe them.
2 videos...bottom one graphic of this morning attack..
First one just as scary in my opinion...was the attacker an embedded party? If so…Are there others?

Unfortunately the enemies are within already. No question there are many terror cells operating within the country. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats. Freaking horrible that this religion of peace has now had the Sugar Bowl postponed.
It's a tough situation. As a free and liberal society, we want to protect minorities from negative group think. But that shouldn't prevent the law from nevertheless targeting and interdicting based on, literally, UNSUPERVISED machine learning based classification.
I have lots of Muslim friends, many who are college football fans. They don't support this. The worst I can say is some, like many Americans, are over invested in partisan and identity politics...all which stoke criminality of all kinds.
Again, I hope the law clears any threats. We don't want more incidents, deaths, and injuries. All too easy to do these days...too many rebels with so many causes. Nuts.
BTW: my wife avoids crowds due to threats of violence. We could have gone to the Sugar Bowl. Some of it was timing, but violence is a big factor for her...something I don't think about a lot, until things like today happen.
FBI Still looking for 3 males and a female who they have footage placing the IEDs they found in the city which they found and blew up this AM
Blue coolers with nails. Possible terrorist attack in front of Trump hotel in Vegas.
When I was in Afghanistan our platoon would go down range with some peshmerga(sp?) forces who were Muslim.
Tough as nails, great fighters, with also a great sense of humor. Two of their groups were female.
Maybe you're not familiar with the Weather Underground?
You should get familar before sounding anymore ignorant, and our government created o law that deprives citizens of basics rights to be held and not charged with anything, and then they mixed in a portion dealing with elderly abuse.
How stupid it's that because there are laws already on the books against elderly abuse
I think you’ll find out that I’m far from ignorant and I’m very familiar with the Weather Underground, they didn’t attack civilian targets, they attacked government targets.
Why don’t you cite those laws that deprive citizens of their basic rights?
As to the existing laws on elder abuse, they didn’t address the financial aspects of elder abuse, which is what the Patriot Act focused on.
First I did held without our being charged, or due prcoess, warrantless wire tape. How familar war you with this?
Second WDO committed 25 bombs not all government, some civilian corporation's, but why would it matter if it was state, federal, or civilian?
When William Webster became director of the FBI in 1978, more than a hundred terrorist attacks a year were taking place in the United States. By the mid-1970s, terrorist bombs were being set off in the country at an average rate of 50 to 60 a year.
Warrantless wire taps and the evidence they obtain, directly or indirectly, are inadmissible in court.
Most of the weather underground attacks were done on weekends when the buildings were vacant.
None of the attacks in the 70s and 80s were directed toward the general civilian population unlike this morning’s attack, with the one exception of the Oklahoma City bombing.
I would agree with you with regard to January 6th and those being held absent charges being filed and absent due process.
There are several basic forms of terrorist attacks, those against hard targets such as buildings, those against military installations and military personnel and those against the general civilian population, with the latter usually being carried out by ideologically, driven individuals or organizations
