Looked like it was full of fireworks, so possibly accidental.

I am also kind of leaning toward some sort of protest against the unholy alliance of Trump and Musk coming for everyone's freedoms.

On a side note, probably not the best day for me to have discovered Arabic Oud music and be listening to it all morning. Just in case the NSA got their ears on.

You are probably safe from those prying ears, you aren't far enough north to warrant 24/7 monitoring. You probably just get random stops on the listening net. ;)

The Sugar Bowl has been postponed until tomorrow because of the attack.

I'm sure that the left will tell us that this was simply a mostly peaceful protest and we're horrible racists for jumping to conclusions that it was terrorism.

Reportedly there was an IED in the truck that didn't go off and he had rented an all electric one. Think maybe he had intended to ignite the batteries like what may have happened or was attempted at the Trump Tower today which was also an all electric vehicle?

Surveillance video shows multiple people 'placing explosive device': report

The Associated Press says it has obtained an intelligence bulletin from Louisiana state police that says several “potential explosive devices” were found in New Orleans’s’ French Quarter following the vehicle attack early Wednesday, and that surveillance footage had “captured three men and a woman placing one of multiple improvised explosive devices”.

There was no immediate confirmation from the state police department.

According to the bulletin, the AP says, guns and pipe bombs found in the suspect’s pick-up truck were found concealed within coolers and “wired for remote detonation”. A corresponding remote control was also discovered, it said.

So if he rented a truck in Texas, and it's confirmed that he came through Mexico, he must have had valid or well-forged ID. That F150 is not one of the vehicles you would find at "Joe Bob's rental cars and I take cash for people who can't get an Avis".

Or else, what is going on with the initial report that he is or was in the US Army?

UPDATE: Elon Musk confirms that the explosion at Trump Hotel in Las Vegas was caused by fireworks or a bomb placed in the bed of the rented Cybertruck. Tesla states the incident is unrelated to the vehicle itself, as all telemetry was normal at the time of the explosion.

If the Cybertruck was rented as well I wonder if in Texas too.

Apropos of nothing, I'm finding it kind of comical that the Feebers are all walking around with Tyvek booties on, and all the other responders just have their regular boots on, all in the same areas.

Reportedly something went boom near the scene

Huge bang heard near scene as cops race away from Bourbon Street

Footage has emerged on social media showing multiple police vehicles speeding away from the scene of the incident after a loud bang was heard.

WSB reporter Zach Klein shared video of the three cars driving from Bourbon Street to his X account, saying they headed in the direction of a loud bang.

It remains unclear what the noise was, and if it was related to reports of IEDs left at the scene.

Another video shared by Klein shows two vehicles returning to the scene shortly after.

The FBI now believes Shamsud Din Jabbar was acting alone, according to MSNBC.

The FBI has now ruled out the two people allegedly seen planting IEDs.

The network claims those two people were just bystanders.
