Terror Attack or Not a Terror Attack? At Least Ten Dead in New Orleans

By

New in PJ Media:

At 3:15 a.m. on the morning of New Year’s Day, a man barreled a large truck into a massive crowd of revelers on Canal and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least ten people and injuring dozens more. This was no accident; he was clearly targeting the crowd intentionally. After he crashed his truck, the driver got out and began firing at police officers, injuring two of them, and was himself killed in the firefight with the cops. When the police searched his truck, they found improvised explosive devices.

That much we know. After that, this incident becomes exceedingly strange. At a press conference early Wednesday morning, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said that the incident was a “terrorist attack,” although she provided no details as to what kind of terrorist attack it might have been. And after Cantrell spoke, FBI Special Agent Aletha (that’s how Fox has her name; NPR and CNN have “Alethea”) Duncan said that it was “not a terrorist attack.”

So was it a terrorist attack, or was it not? Maybe it all depends on your point of view, or maybe we’ll find out soon enough, but the open and unapologetic contradiction between the mayor and the feds on this point was unusual. And the story gets stranger still.

On X, a photo showed that the truck had a flagpole attached to its back bumper, and the driver was apparently flying some kind of flag. What kind, however, is unknown as of this writing on Wednesday morning, for it seemed as if one of the first things that the police did was cover the flag with a coat. Or did they? Another X user posted a different photo of the truck that was apparently taken just moments after the attack, and although the photo itself is not all that clear, asserted that “it was always just a black coat on a pole.”

Would some nut fly a black coat from a flagpole? Sure. Would the cops cover up a flag that an attacker was flying because seeing it might make people think negatively about a group that enjoys protected status from the left and its establishment media lapdogs? That possibility cannot be counted out, either.

So what do we have here? It does seem to have been a terrorist attack, judging from the fact that all accounts say that the driver intentionally plowed into the crowd, and that he didn’t stop there, but began firing at the cops, and on top of all that, had explosives. Although the recent vehicular attack at the Christmas Market in Magdeburg, Germany is mired in controversy over whether or not the attacker had genuinely left Islam as he claimed to have done, vehicular attacks are a favored tactic of Islamic jihadis.

There is more. Read the rest here.

  2. It won’t be long before we get driverless vehicles doing the killing. Then finding out who is doing the killing will be many magnitudes harder, Already we have driverless vehicles.

  3. About 10 years ago, ISIS was advocating truck/venicle jihad, and one of the first of these incidents was in NewYork City.

    Also, the New Orleans police seem to have screwed up the security on Bourbon Street. Nowadays it would have been standard security practice to have dump trucks filled with sand or other heavy construction vehicles blocking access to each end of Bourbon Street, with gaps between vehicles only large enough to let pedestrians pass. This is probably the “it can’t happen in our city” attitude.

    • We shouldn’t have to live like that, diversity barriers to keep us safe in our own lands.

  4. Everyone with a bit of a brain knows it was a Muslim.Oneday,payback is gonna be very brutal.Time is coming!!

  8. So many in the fbi….controlled by the dhs since the Dhs was established….must believe that the average Joe and Jane (not a biden, joe-type) is stupid, demented, naive or brainless.

    Did the ramming of the vehicle into the crowd, murdering many, cause “terror”? Was it a deliberate causing of terror?

    The question now is, not whether it was a terror attack (the mayor is correct, the fbi is lying), but what is the perp’s name? And if he has a regular name…one recognizable from the many ugly variations of the fake prophet who probably never existed except in the mind of some demon-inspired ghoul…like most Americans, was he a recent convert to *we-all-know* what? and just hadn’t chosen a mozlum moniker.

    Or, will it turn out that he has been mozlum all of his miserable life, but has been waiting for the best opportunity to work on his inner-self?

    And he won’t be going to any ‘paradise’ to rape young children. He’s now being eaten by his own bacteria, and will soon be worm food.

  9. It doesn’t matter who did it, it WAS TERRORISM!!!! I guess we need to ban trucks now and send Ukraine 5 billion dollars more!

    • It doesn’t matter who did it? So, like Obama said, “Let’s fight terrorism”, right? LMAO

  10. I hope when the new administration comes into office, they will not continue to cover-up for these terrorist. If it was a man with a Bible or a Jew they would blast it all over the Mainstream Media and Social Network. Too many radical Islamic radicals are getting away with rape and murder.
    I just can’t understand why our government continues to support any of these countries that hate us. I pray

  11. The pickup reportedly had an ISIS flag on it. I’ve seen the photo. Look up Daniella Collins on MeWe.

  12. “In a Wednesday-morning update to the media, New Orleans police superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said, “It did involve a man driving a pickup truck down Bourbon Street at a very fast pace, and it was very intentional behavior. This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could. … It was not a DUI situation. This was more complex and more serious based on the information we have right now.”

    Kirkpatrick also indicated that the FBI has taken over the investigation into this incident.”

  13. Looked like an 80 year old granny and diversity hire were in charge at a press conference I saw.
