The vehicle used by the alleged New Orleans terrorist to plow into a crowd of people celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street reportedly came through Eagle Pass, Texas, two days ago, federal agents said, per FOX News.

The suspect's identity and citizenship status remain unknown. Authorities have confirmed that ten individuals lost their lives when a car intentionally drove into New Year's Eve crowds on New Orleans' famous Bourbon Street at approximately 3:15 a.m.

According to witnesses, the truck rammed into a crowd of people at high speed, and the driver got out and began firing a weapon, causing police to return fire. Witnesses claim the suspect was wearing full body armor and armed with an assault rifle, while officials stated he was "trying to run over as many people as he possibly could."

It is December and after an election year just in November.

All I'm saying--and we have weird case after weird case and news actually on it.

Some of us have been alive long enough to have seen such crazy before.

And the murderers are NOT heroes either.

True, but every single one hot button issues imo.

Scott's show is pretty good, linked it in the UHC case. He's always a bit dry but if you really want to understand the laws better, he said quite a bit about such.

It' starts out with the UHC case, then quite a bit on Kohberger if you follow that one. That's as far as I've gotten. That too covered a fair amount of law.
 
Yeah, I think we are going to find out more on the UHC case too.

It's understandable that people jump and make conclusions nowadays, but I think more will come.

I hope they find these people quick.
This and the Vegas Cybertruck thing are just crazy. They are saying the guy who rented the cybertruck was a soldier, an active duty US Army sergeant. I saw that on CNN
 
That Lightning truck used in NOLA was no mistake. It weighs something like 3 tons and accelerates in the blink of an eye. In the wrong hands, it's a killing machine.
