Two Terrorist Attacks In One Day - WTF?

[masraum]

Thoughts and prayer go out to the victims.

It seems like the odds of both of these similar types of attacks and using Turo being a coincidence is very small.

Seems like EVs would make particularly good terrorist vehicles due to the difficultly in extinguishing the ensuing fires.

Elon commented on X that the stainless steel skin of the Cybertruck actually helped to contain the blast because it’s stronger than traditional steel or aluminum. Could be typical Elon BS but the shell of the truck was pretty much intact, the blast blew the bed cover vertically and directed the blast upwards. Maybe it’s a coincidence but the symbolism of putting Musk’s newest product under the atrium of Trump’s hotel and blowing it up seems very suspect. Also considering the NOLA attacker was a US citizen, who knows what the motivation was? This also assumes they are connected, maybe these are independent sleeper cells that were activated to create panic and kill innocent people?

Edit: blown up truck looks pretty good:

According to LVPD the Cybertruck helped contain the blast and the batteries didn’t ignite, it was put out quickly. So maybe they picked the wrong EV?

I saw that press conference. The truck was pretty much intact. The glass doors at the hotel didn't even get broken either. The force of the blast pretty much went upwards, blowing the bed cover off.

Yet the media misleadingly stated it was a cyber truck that caught fire…

Just to add, i was in NO in the spring and witnessed some guy get shot in the leg in front of bourbon st… it’s not a safe city.

LOL that’s epic. Wouldn’t pass muster in today’s PC Germany.

Exactly why I don’t watch the MSM.

Point being it won’t stop. There’s not a particular law or politician that caused this. Any educated society is going to be a target.

I've been to more Mardi Gras and Jazz Fests than I can remember ... it never has been a safe city ... NEVER!

Know it like an old neighborhood .....

Not far from Mothers...

RIP ....

There will always be escalations and de-escalations ... both extremes... every conflict ... ever ... here and abroad ... forever ....

It's who we are

Some .... not all ...

Authorities confirm that Matthew Livelsberger, who died in the explosion outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas, had previously been stationed at the same military base as Shamsud Din Jabbar, involved in the New Orleans terrorist attack -

Uff. Radicalized together perhaps. At least that should help trace other possible accomplices.

Very sad day for America

[masraum]

I always find it a little odd when military/former military do this. But I shouldn't, anyone has the potential to be converted and radicalized, and some folks go into the military because they don't know what else to do but are never US patriots.

[rfuerst911sc]

RIP to those killed and wishing a quick recovery for those injured .
