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".

I assumed the perp would be a beardo right wing rear end in a top hat but not this particular kind.

I am absolutely convinced that Musk had to have been a goon at some point, probably in the early mid-2000s. And we all know exactly what type of goon:

An unremarkable white GBS noise poster who probably made oblique references to their wealth or the Bay Area’s tech scene. When no one really bit on this mysterious poster’s attempts at allure and intrigue, they then tried their hand at being a FYAD superstar and got really into “ironic” overuse of the n-word and other slurs before everyone finally got tired of him and chased him out. Maybe he complained to an admin, who then posted his PM and made fun of him, prompting him to post a weak :banme: that was viewed by less than 150 people before it ended up in the gas chamber.

That or he still lurks among us but only has 300 posts, and they’re all in a thread about ketamine in TCC.

If Elon Musk posted on the forums he probably got himself banned for asking for :filez: in 2004 or something.

I met two of the mythical "average American voters" at a bar today and oh my God we're hosed as a nation. Spoiler alert: They had strong views on issues but also no idea which historical president belonged to which political party.

In short it convinced me of something I already suspected: Biden's PR team should be put to death for sheer incompetence.
