New Orleans - Bourbon Street Attack
- Thread starter O-State1974

Just horrible. I imagine some of those killed or injured were ND or UGA fans. Be curious to see the identity of the suspect and their immigration status.
Ten dead and dozens injured after driver plows car into crowd on Bourbon Street, suspect dead
At least 10 people are dead after a driver plowed a car into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans and then exited the vehicle and fired a weapon, according to police.
Sheesh… was walking those streets with my whole family just 5 days ago. I had never been to New Orleans, but loved the couple of days we were there, and want to go back. Hate to see this shit anywhere though….
Reports are.coming out that the driver had an ISIS flag on the back of the truck, entered the US via Eagle Pass, TX, and barriers that were installed after a French terror attack were.not raised like they were supposed to be.
Makes you wonder.
Makes you wonder.
Oh that makes sense as to why all the photos of the truck have the flag covered up. Doesn’t fit media narratives. Protect ISIS, protect open borders!!
Man I wish I had known you were there, my family all met there for Christmas. Left on the 27th. Where did you stay?
Terrible tragedy, wife and I were shocked by the news this morning. Just thinking we were right there at Erin Rose only a few days ago.
Not saying this is what is happening, but a lot of times they’ll actually cover it up so the terrorist organization doesn’t get the “credit” that they’re seeking when doing things like this.
American-born Muslim realtor from Houston. The truck was rented in Texas.
And former military member.

Was there 2 weeks ago and have been there many times. Canal and bourbon is probably the most active area there is. NO has regressed and not sure I’ll be going again anytime soon. My son told me last week that he was going there for NYE and I told him he should not do it. He didn’t listen but his buddy canceled and he didn’t go. Those are the kind of places to avoid on NYE for sure. Just not safe.
I would guess they have info we are not privy too.
Family of 11, stayed at Spring Hill Suites in arts district. Hotel sucked. Jumped on a cruise, and currently in Cayman. I had never been to NO. I really liked it. I thought folks were all friendly, and felt safe there.
Well, for security reasons employees of the facility have been told not to report for work today. I’m guessing it would be tough to host a game with no people to turn on the lights.
Reads like possible explosives found elsewhere in French 1/4.
Next time you go stay at the Hotel Monteleon and request the Iberville Tower. Don’t worry about trying to get into the carousel bar,it’s not worth standing in line for.
If you have time when you return, go to Erin Rose (If it’s not shut down for this) and get a frozen Irish Coffee. Thank me later.

The only thing that surprises me is that there hasn’t been a whole lot more of these. This was so predictable. Now watching all these liberals bitch and try to cover their tracks turns my stomach. And I agree that New Orleans is a shit hole and a corrupt shit hole at that. Inexcusable that they didn’t have barriers up to stop this kind of stuff.

Sorry dude, I’m just a smart ass, can’t help it sometimes.
In all seriousness though, I am assuming that since they are approaching this as an act of terrorism that taking 24 hours to screen the Dome for explosives is just a good precaution.

First responders are still working to secure the French Quarter and hospitals caring for the injured are stretched very thin at the moment not to mention the need to ensure the facility is secure.
Fox News retracted that it crossed the Mexican border. Truck rented in Houston.
TCU WR Jack Bech’s brother was among those killed.
Where did this happen specifically? We stayed at Hotel Le Marais when Mason and them went to the Sugar Bowl. I believe we were around Conti and Bourbon. The game sucked but Ole Miss fans were fun
Don’t know if the truck tried to get on bourbon st off of canal or what. There are barriers there so not sure. You can get on bourbon st off those those side streets that run into bourbon st and actually drive down bourbon. Haven’t seen any details of the trucks actual route.
I saw a video of the truck turning onto Bourbon Street from Canal Street. I don’t know how they could have the barrier down there.
