Two Terrorist Attacks In One Day - WTF?

[onewhippedpuppy]

15 dead, 30 injured after a man from TX rammed his truck through the NYE crowd with an ISIS flag on a pole mounted to his trailer hitch. Today a Cybertruck driver drove into the entrance to the Las Vegas Trump tower and detonated a bed load of mortar style explosives, driver dead and 7 injured. Two middle eastern style terrorist attacks within 24 hours, I hope this isn’t the beginning of the terror campaign that many have been warning about….

Deleted to stay away from PARF. General population needs to see this.


edit---too late. My apologies.

Drove into the entrance?

From nbc: “The Cybertruck was rented from Turo, the rental company that rented the truck used in the New Orleans attack, two officials said.”

Preemptive move to P Town only.

HD Turo is that company where individuals rent their cars out....kinda like air bnb for vehicles.

Damn, I was hoping we could discuss this like adults. Pretty sure those killed or injured weren’t political targets. This should concern ALL of us, because I’d bet the majority of Pelicans have been to NOLA and Vegas.

[berettafan]

Seahawk if you can delete my stuff and put it back I promise to leave the obvious out of it.


OWP I agree...this is where 'politics' is an unfair, if understandable, categorization.

[onewhippedpuppy]

Well if you just look at the surface level facts, flying an ISIS flag on your murdertruck is a pretty obvious and intentional message. Facts are facts.

The guy in the New Orleans attack was former US military .

I hope to see, to paraphrase the 16th, the better nature of you guys and gals…

Prayers for the victims and their families.

From a Elon X post …

Appears likely to be an act of terrorism.

Both this Cybertruck and the F-150 suicide bomb in New Orleans were rented from Turo. Perhaps they are linked in some way.

[onewhippedpuppy]

Based on the surveillance video from Trump Tower, the Cybertruck driver pulled under the awning at the main entrance, paused, and detonated his “bomb”. He’s the only one reported dead, but it looks like a classic suicide car bomb sending a message to the incoming administration.

Renting both from Turo is interesting but may be a coincidence. Where else would you rent a Cybertruck? More interesting is why the F150 used in NOLA crossed into the USA over our Southern Border from Mexico in November, supposedly being driven by someone else. Why would you need to source an F150 rental from Mexico? And if it was driven over by someone else, why is the FBI now saying that he acted alone?

I don't believe terrorists think as much about our domestic politics as we do. I think they hate the whole country, and the timing seems like they just wanted to mess up our celebration of the New Year. There are a lot better opportunities to make a pointed response to our domestic politics than New Years Eve.

Both vehicles were rented 6,000 pound+ electric vehicles.

Agree. This was simply an act of hatred for the United States.

Is there any word about the ID of the Cybertruck driver?

[Roswell]

He has been identified, but the authorities have not released his name…
