Fun little fact.
- New Orleans updates from yesterday . . .
- The killer:
- He was a 42 year old, ten-year military veteran,
- He was a licensed real estate agent from 2019 to 2023. He even had a video on YouTube where he sounds as normal as a person could be.
- It looks like he had a misdemeanor theft over 20 years ago in Houston. He also had a DWI at Fort Bragg Military Reservation in North Carolina in 2015 per the Washington Post.
- He turned off of Canal Street, jumped a curb, and went around police. Video. Normal permanent barricades had been removed for an ongoing upgrade.
- Reports that there were "others involved" appear to have been overstated.
- The truck, rented via an auto-sharing app, was a Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck.
- Fox News, anxious to blame illegal immigration, jumped the gun with a false report that the killer had "crossed the border" two days ago. It then quickly retracted it. But, of course, those who care little about the truth were quick to run with that narrative:
- The governor of Louisiana thought it would be a good idea to yuk it up and go out to a fancy dinner last night. Tone deaf.
- And then later in the day we had an intentional explosion of a Cybertruck outside the Trump hotel in Vegas. The initial blast was caught on video.
- It was full of "gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars."
- The dead suspect has been identified. What's up with the vets?
- And there is at least some connection between the Vegas and New Orleans' events.
- But wait! There's more this morning as 10 teens were hit by gunfire. (But no deaths and not considered a terrorist incident.)
- The Evil Empire flirted with disaster yesterday but survived. There was a great moment when two gals walked in front of the Longhorn kicker as he was warming up before eventually missing a last second field goal in regulation. Video.
