Mrs. abb & I just returned yesterday from a 5 day stay in N. O. The restaurants are to die for. Best food on the North American continent, IMO.

” To die for” may be more literal than you know. People are getting robbed and assaulted in the Quarter on a daily basis. I wouldn’t go down there without armed bodyguards-and I was born here.

LOL, No, thank God. But he’d fit right in attitude-wise, so would his snarling wife.

..and am I the ONLY one who thinks that the cop who drove head-on into an oncoming truck in NY, KILLING BOTH OF HIS FELLOW COP PASSENGERS, was an ATTEMPTED SUICIDE TERRORIST ATTACK by a Jihadist cop? 2 INFIDELS DEAD. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3004278/Off-duty-cops-fatal-wrong-way-crash-left-strip-club.html

And what about the taxi driver who drove down a sidewalk in NY? Cab Jumps Curb, Hits 4 in NYC; Man, Girl Killed; 2 Injured

THESE ARE ALL JUST COINCIDENCES, FOLKS!

I picked that up too. Less “provocative” than terrorist, lunatic, or home brewed jihadist. Lunatic has my vote since he certainly hadn’t thought things through, fortunately. If he’d set off his bombs first it could have been much worse.

He has a mental illness. You don’t say...

It’s fortunate in a way that this guy made the somewhat inexplicable decision to attack an airport security station, instead of something softer and more vulnerable like a mall or a school.

Says he killed one of the other cops. One is in hospital in critical condition.
No, it doesn’t look like “an ATTEMPTED SUICIDE TERRORIST ATTACK by a Jihadist cop” to me.
