Possible failed "terrorist" attack in Rochester, New York
« on: January 02, 2024, 08:29:10 AM »
I put terrorist in quotes because terrorism usually has a political component and it's not clear if this has one yet.

SUV packed with gas cans rams a car outside a New Year's concert and bursts into flames as the concert was letting out. Appears the SUV was attempting to ram the crowd when it struck the other vehicle.
Driver has been IDed and they're investigating it as domestic terrorism.
Two dead including the driver and 5 injured

Is there some drug or maybe internet forum that encourages these people to try to kill as many other people as they can? 

(aside from the FBI/CIA that is)

Potentially disturbing dashboard cam footage of the incident in Rochester. Note the Ford Explorer that’s on fire and the person walking out of it.

According to this there were two people in the rented Explorer

Quote
The two occupants of the Explorer were killed at the scene, and Avery died in the hospital last night, according to Chief Smith.

Quote
Dec. 30

Between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Avery made "at least a half dozen" purchases of gasoline in gas containers from different locations through Monroe and Ontario counties, Chief Smith said.

Police said he appeared to be alone during each purchase.
Quote
Jan. 1

Avery "sped up, crossed into the oncoming lane of traffic and appears to have intentionally been driving towards a pedestrian crossing," Smith said.

At the same time, the other driver, who was an Uber driver, pulled out of a parking spot and was blindsided by Avery's Ford

So who was the other person in the Explorer and was he/she in on it?
So if someone was in on the passenger side I suppose it was them in the video link in #2 since that person appeared to get out of the passenger side.

The article linked in the post below yours said there was no suicide note.

I'm glad the media are so helpful.

My brother in law comes up to Vegas from SoCal on a regular basis to play blackjack. He will come visit us and while here fill up about ten 5 gallon gas cans to take back with him. I guess I had better tell him to be careful about getting in a wreck or else the FBI will be looking into his business. ;)

You're in luck then, it's all conflicting regularly.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

They sure seemed to get a lot of data together in a short time... How did they know he was  in a hotel, and even what room?  Did he blab it all on a social medium beforehand and nobody picked up on it in time?

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

They're pushing cars that start burning on their own and are just about impossible to put out.
