The New Orleans Advocate newspaper reported the mass tragedy occurred at Orleans and Carrollton during the Endymion parade. You can watch a live stream from television station WVUE-TV above. A WDSU-TV reporter said it’s believed a drunk driver was at fault.

I won’t jump to any conclusions, but it sounds like a similar attack to Nice, France.

It’s Mardi Gras in NOLA. Sometimes the simple explanation is the best.

If it was done by radical Islamic terroist, media and Dems will be much more worried about “backlash” against Muslims than about the terrorism itself. Leftists and their running media dogs never waste an opportunity to pander.

The good thing is, the President will tell the truth about it.

That's new.

The lying media will be watching this closely so they can concoct some story suggesting it’s Trumps fault. I can see it now, “Terror attack under Trumps watch”.

So ya think this was a typical Mardi Gras drunk?

You’d think after doing this for a hundred years they’d have the blockading streets thing down pretty well.
