Graphic, so don’t click the thread if you want to avoid that.
Another vehicular mass casualty event has been reported, this one in New Orleans. Dozens have been injured and killed. More to follow in this thread.
CNN is covering with live updates.
“We do know that the city of New Orleans was impacted by a terrorist attack,” Cantrell said, noting the incident is still under investigation.
Shortly later, an FBI agent told reporters, “This is not a terrorist event.” It was not immediately clear why the mayor and the FBI had differing information.
This is purportedly a photo of the perp but it appears fake to me.
The Ford Lightning with Texas plates may be a rental.
JUST IN: It appears the Ford F150 truck used in the New Orleans attack was a vehicle rented through the Turo app, a carsharing company.
Truck owner Rodrigo Diaz told ABC News that he rented this truck to an individual through Turo and that he is currently talking to the FBI.— Jordan Lippincott (@JordanLippin) January 1, 2025
Western Standard: Local media identified the killer as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar.
New: There are now multiple suspects
@JackPosobiec – Hearing Jabbar was reported twice to his Army COC for Islamic extremist views and they were too scared of causing a racial and religious issue to address. Plus, ISIS flag confirmed.… Andy Ngo uncovered further photos of Jabbar. He was a father and a veteran. He was also selling weapons.
The Louisiana Governor has declared a state of emergency.
🚨 JUST IN: Investigators have reviewed a video of 3 men and a women placing EXPLOSIVES around the French Quarter in New Orleans, per AP That video has not been released to the public.

We really have to do something about these crazy vehicles that suddenly leap up and run over crowds.

Already taken care of… I hear Emperor Justin has just issued an ‘Order in Council’ prohibiting the manufacture and sale of white pickup trucks… with an emphasis on those equipped with high-capacity beds. The Post Ofiice will begin collecting the offending ‘battlefield vehicles’ within 48 hours.

…And semi or fully automatic transmissions!
Trudeau, between the bunny-run and slalom run amongst his young fans at an undisclosed handicapped children’s ski hill in BC has announced a total ban on all assault style pickups in Canada. Or something like that….
Assault-style pickups? Isn’t that how he meets women?
What happened to the suspect?
See what I did there?
Just confirmed on Foxnews that the suspect is dead, not confirmed if self inflicted or shot by cops. Suspect shot 2 cops, who are in stable condition.
Dead. A dead muslim jihadist, that was an American according the the reports.
It was not immediately clear why the mayor and the FBI had differing information.
Because the guy is on the FBI’s payroll and not the mayor’s.
Workplace violence again.
A Joe Biden & Jimmy Carter going away present.
No doubt, the perp is one of the following protected species: mono-browed inbred retarded pedophile worshipper, alphabet soup degenerate, basement dwelling TDS sufferer – all of which should be tolerated in western society far less than how Liberals tolerate “assault-style” firearms.
Really Dano???
Are those your first and best guesses?
Hey man…always bet on the sure thing.
Best policy is to wait for more information.
Oh…I’m waiting alright. Purely for confirmation bias fulfillment. Then we can bottle up our rage with the next shiny thing to splash across our devices and do nothing but wait for the next one to happen. That’s what we do.
Nov 22 1963 was just yesterday, so just wait:-))))
100% correct Kate. However … when the “official” reporting follows a predictable pattern … I am led to the same predictable answers.
Shamsud Din Jabbar…who woulda thunk?
Back to our regular programming…
I immediately jumped to the conclusion that his name was Mohammed. Turns out I was wrong, shame on bigoted me.
Eric
Why has the FBI covered up the flag on the back of the truck????
To prevent Anglophobia. I hear that the flag was the Union Jack
A black Union Jack?
Coward.
If he had any bravery he would have ended just his own life.
Not if he thinks he’s getting 72 virgins in Paradise, or have you not heard of Islam.
Like Kate wrote, I’m waiting for that info.
“Like Kate wrote, I’m waiting for that info.”
Same here. All I know for sure right now is that the streets of New Orleans are filthy.
Jeez guys, it all comes down to the goats doesn’t it!
A Very basic religion.
Why would he do that when he probably wanted to kill infidels?

Shawn Ryan with Sarah Adams.
I know very well they’re here and they’re planning shit like this everywhere this year like none other.
That was very informative. Thanks for the link.

No one plows into a crowd with a truck without intentionally planning to kill many. Mass murder is terrorism that’s for sure. But the incident shows how dismal FBI still is. I hope Kash Patel will be able to overhaul FBI which is a big part of The Swamp right now.
Not if he thinks he’s getting 72 virgins in Paradise, or have you not heard of Islam.
Hoping that the virgins are teenage boys all pent up waiting to go…….no one says which end the killers get, just that virgins are waiting their arrival.
It’s like a normal week in Chicago.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/12/30/chicago-homicides-in-2024-5-people-slain-heres-how-that-compares-with-previous-years/
Okay, so what are “white hispanic” and “black hispanic”????
The White Hispanics know who their daddy’s are.
White people and black people who speak Spanish would be my guess. The original Spanish speakers from Spain are white, and not everyone who migrated to Mexico cross bred with Meso Americans. There are plenty of black people who descended from slaves who speak Spanish in the formerly Spanish territories of South and Central America and the Caribbean.
“Race/ethnicity of Chicago’s homicide victims in 2024”
What about the suspects? Gee, why would they leave that information out?
I wonder if we brought back “cruel and unusual punishment” in the public square such as was practiced in say Britain in times past, if that would help act as a deterrent for these horrendous crimes.
Barbaric to be sure but then if a killer is looking at disembowelment, head on a spike or some such gory end, then they may come to the conclusion that just offing them self may be a more practical approach to their self loathing.
There are lots of good ideas in “The Faithful Executioner”. A very interesting read, and not just for the gory bits.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15793575-the-faithful-executioner
They’re not self loathing, they loath you.
One can’t be that destructive without at the least some amount of self hatred.
Read up on the legend of General Pershing and how he dealt with mohammedan extremists in the Philippines. Might be a strategy to resurrect.
For calibration
In 2022 (the latest year with data) 42,795 people were killed in traffic accidents in the US. That’s 117 per day.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year
Take a look at the first graph.
So you think this was just a terrible accident?
John
Did I say that?
Looks like the FBI recanted https://www.nola.com/
Bourbon Street barriers were down, being replaced when driver struck dozens in mass attack
“A set of security barriers that were set up in 2017 to prevent terrorist attacks along Bourbon Street were in the midst of being replaced”
https://www.nola.com/news/traffic-barriers-down-on-bourbon/article_19ae4faa-c84d-11ef-bf90-e7ba5e65dca6.html#tncms-source=the-latest
Remember the yellow school buses during Katrina? Heckuva job nawlins!
This does not seem credible. Wouldn’t you wait until new barriers are available before dismantling?
*
Toronto the Good spent hundreds of thousands of dollars upgrading their ‘diversity bollards’ in fairly recent memory. As did Ottawa City Hall.
What prompted that? Asking for a friend.
*
Multiple accounts are saying the barriers were down for street cleaning, the attack happened after most of the tourists had left.
I was wondering how the heck a truck got on to Bourbon street in the evening. I went to two SIGGRAPH conferences in New Orleans in 1996 and 2000. In 1996 I lucked into a hotel on Bourbon street. Posts were placed at every intersection with crossing streets mostly to prevent some drunk idiot from turning on to Bourbon Street. Those posts came down every morning about 9 AM. In the evening Bourbon street turned into a large party (reminding me of Fraternity parties given the smells of alcohol, stale vomit and urine). It was often standing room ONLY even at 12 am on a random Wednesday in August with temps over 90 Fahrenheit, Cant imagine how crowded it would be on a New Years Eve,
There are videos showing a very different system than what I remember (on LibsOfTikTok on X)m but that doesn’t match what was being updated referenced here https://nola.gov/next/public-works/projects/bourbon-street-bollard-assessment-replacement-project/ , I am still kind of surprised there were not Jersey Barriers or similar Like NYC uses at Times Square. It is not like this kind of attack is unheard of even in the US
Looking like that was maybe – MAYBE – an Isis flag on the back of that pick up truck.

The fbi needs time to change the flag to a Trump flag before they will show us.
When they Cover the flag, we know it’s a KORANDERTHAL.
1-BAN Islam
2-DESTROY ALL MOSQUES
3-DEPORT THE INBRED IMAMS (all of them are inbred)
FILTHY LIBERALS own this.
Wait for the FBI to announce the KORANDERTHAL was known to the FBI. At least the FBI didn’t drive the Jihadi to the scene this time.
“Shamsud Din Jabbar” identified as truck rammer.
They have zero information, but they can positively state that it was not a terrorist attack.
Regardless of who the truck driver was, he’ll soon be labeled by the media and senior Democrats as a right wing white supremacist.
The FBI at first sid that this is not terrorism, in order to fool the corporate media into leaving the area. The big media do not like reporting on Muslim-based terror.
Can we please eliminate the GW Bush term “terrorism” (it’s a tactic, that’s all!). The only question is, was it a crazy person committing mass murder or was it Jihad? Obviously, the state importers of Jihad don’t like the honesty involved in the question. The state authorities are going to find out who did what and bend the truth to avoid declaring it another obvious example of Jihad if it is “determined” to be “terrorism”.
From Rantingly:
FOX NEWS REPORT: “THERE ARE AT LEAST FOUR OR FIVE OTHER SUSPECTS INVOLVED” IN NEW ORLEANS TERRORIST ATTACK…
Suspect Identified As Shamsud Din Jabbar, Had An ISIS Flag Mounted On The Truck…
Jack Posobiec reports that he’s hearing that Jabbar was twice reported to the Army COC (chain of command) for his extremist Islamic views.
https://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/1874531498835259580?
“Jack Posobiec reports that he’s hearing that Jabbar was twice reported to the Army COC (chain of command) for his extremist Islamic views. ”
If that’s true, bring on the court martials .
This is the very same thing that the anti-gun hysterics get wrong every time there is a mass shooting…there are often plenty of ‘red flags’ beforehand, but they IGNORE them. Then they propose ‘solutions’ that never work, but are woke enough to not offend too many people. Rinse and repeat.
Waiting for a member of CUPE or Canada’s NDP to call this a heroic act of resistance.
And in the US, senior Democrats will stress caution about Islamophobia, and/or call this a case of right wing white supremacy.
There seems to be some hesitancy to label this as an act of terrorism as it’s clearly an ongoing investigation, and I thought it may be important to note that “Jabbar” is one of the core names from islam, and at least if it’s not clearly an act of terrorism, you can be certain that it’s an act of islam
https://www.ancestry.ca/first-name-meaning/jabbar?srsltid=AfmBOorgSkdxwQHgYKjF1R2IkIFG9d8B5TPj2bkXNG-npwmI9KPmH-7F
I think it’s important to note in the above Poso link from Joe @ 2.20 pm, that being afraid of offending someone because of the clearly islamic connection to Jabbar (and Hussien from the Fort Hood act of terror) is partly what emboldens the perpetrators of these acts. I think it’s rare for other adherents to popular religions of the world to behave like this. There seems to be a connection.
How many incidents of having someone drive a vehicle into a crowd with clear intent to kill before the trend is given its own named syndrome?
“Look who donated to Democrats on ActBlue then drove a truck through a crowd…”
https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1874532234096730119
One $15.00 donation to Act Blue. My guess is that his name was just a random selection from the Dem Registration base … and that Jabbar knows nothing about his “donation”. Speaking of corrupt “Dark Money”
OMG/O’Keefe media group haven’t commented on the ActBlue connection yet, and they’ve done a lot of work on that file, but it has been less than 24 hours from this event.
$15. does exactly fit what ActBlue has been finding….
Jabbar here for 25 seconds:
https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1874509796780769586
Jabbar’s English here seems better than the New Orleans FBI agent who commented initially that this wasn’t a terrorist event. Note he does say, “dotting I’s and crossing T’s” and I expect something instead of nothing from those FBI agents flying in today from DC.
With a name like “din jabber”, I presume he speaks Arabic?
How much do you have to contribute to get an ISIS flag?
Been suggesting fot a long time that mass murderers should be put on a list of political preferences. Seems to be a touchy subject since there isn’t one. Or, are crazy murderers equally represented among Republicans and Democrars?
ALWAYS keep in mind:
The ENTIRE purpose of terrorism is to TERRORIZE.
“Frightened” people are generally incapable of rational thought and are thus susceptible to more manipulation.
Real Politik 101
This also applies to STATE TERRORISM; just sayin’….
The purpose of terrorism is to affect some political change. Terror is just the means.
Street camera shows a bunch of New Orleans police rushing to the scene as soon as they heard something amiss.
https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1874461942863327594?
I don’t see a single one of them draw a weapon … rent a cops scurrying to provide traffic control after the fact? Seeing them scurry in one big group from standing useless on a corner … doesn’t fill me with a sense of security.
My fellow citizens … arm yourselves.
No need to draw a weapon until the shooting started.
Are we still pretending the ‘van’ attack in Toronto in 2018 wasn’t terrorism?
The world needs to tell Islam to reform or else … no truck or trade.
Lol.
Swat teams at a Houston house possibly the residence of Jabbar.
https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1874599111326105862?
Notice the chickens on top of the SWAT vehicle.
Did they come home to roost there?
Question: Are there ‘drone zone bans’ around sports facilities?
This is on an inept Biden and his administration. Never forget what they have done to harm our country with their inability to govern. I can’t wait until 1/20/2025.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry wrote this a couple years ago when he was attorney general.

Very, very little happens by accident. Almost nothing is a random event.
They’re working on a cover up like in Macdebutg or Danforth.
The mass media cartel could not be happier that the guy was not from the middle east.
US Army Chain of Command was apparently told that this guy was dangerous when he was in uniform, but the Chain of Command was afraid, so they did nothing. Maybe too soon to know how true this is.
But the Fort Hood shooter had ‘Soldier of Allah’ (SoA) on his business cards, everyone he worked with knew he was a dangerous one – and those coward weasels in his Chain of Command did nothing – and they’re bastard doctors, they can say anything to anyone in the Army, ruin careers with their ‘tough decisions’, etc. And they were still too cowardly to say something. Can’t trust any of these people.
