quote:

• At least 10 people were killed and 30 injured when a driver rammed a pickup truck into a crowd during New Year’s celebrations on Bourbon Street in New Orleans early on Wednesday morning. The driver’s actions were “very intentional,” said police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick. “This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could.” The man also shot at police officers, hitting two, who are in stable condition, Kirkpatrick said. Federal law enforcement agents are also checking on possible improvised explosives at the scene. Video from CNN affiliate WDSU showed a law enforcement robot being used to examine the underside of the vehicle. Police did not say whether the man was in custody or what his condition might be.

The mayor said it was a terrorist attack and the FBI said it was not. I think they’re waiting to check the net worth of the people killed.

Mainstream reporting is that the New Orleans attacker got out of the truck firing an AR-15 and had at least one IED that failed to go off. Plus an ISIS flag. Sounds like the NOPD dropped him pretty quickly, so I guess you do, in fact, have to hand it to them.

Definitely a shittier scenario than my initial guess of "drunk idiot does the gas/brake mixup".

There's apparently a very crisp body inside of that burning dumpster.

The New Orleans guy, on top of being a vet, was also US born. So we'll see where that one goes.

so it literally exploded. video of someone dying there but no gore. Trying to hide the video but I’m phone posting so hopefully it works. Was wondering how others were injured as I expected a rapid battery fire “explosion” but I understand now.

I saw a picture elsewhere and it is loving nuts. Rivaling those eagles dying (getting stuck?) because they gorged themselves too full of garbage level of visual metaphor
