Guy looks like an out of it drunk college student. That was my first thought seeing his arrest photo.

New Orleans is the MOST RACIST place I have ever lived and it isn’t just Overt it is Institutionalized, Condoned and Promoted.

Either you have not been around much or you are just ignorant.

I’ve never lived in New Orleans but have visited 8 or 10 times. I would agree. The bias against whites is palpable. I lived in Baltimore back in the early 2000s and thought it was pretty racially divisive but NOLA is just awful.

Remember Mayor Chocolatetown??? Hahahaha!

More than likely it wasn’t a drunk driver, only because parade routes are pretty well barricaded. Sounds like a deliberate act.

The Malibu was hit by the suspect vehicle which I believe was a pickup truck.

No. There’s a new sheriff in town. NO warning, just level a city. Completely. Raze it until you are bombing sand. No statements, nothing.

The next attack, do the same. Utterly erase another moon-worshipping heathen’s mass abode.

Rinse and repeat. If it happens a FOURTH time, eliminate Mecca AND Medina completely and simultaneously, with multiple nukes.

No need to explain, they will get the message.

The only language understood by primitives is strength. Playing nice merely encourages them. Erasing the very thing they worship *MIGHT* let them know that we’re not playing nice anymore, since they cannot.

Coincidence with the 35 year old “man” who did the same in Germany today - 1 dead, 2 critical.

A man armed with a knife was shot and injured by police Saturday after he drove a car into a group of pedestrians in Heidelberg, Germany, local police said.

Three people were injured, one seriously, Mannheim police said. After driving his car into the group, the suspect tried to flee the scene and was then shot by officers. The suspect was seriously injured and taken to the hospital.

I didn’t know that. Never been. But I’ve heard the corruption stories regarding NOPD and the local government.

In addition to the attack in Germany, a similar attack happened recently here in Birmingham, England. The attacker has not been caught. Another case of Sudden Jihad Syndrome?

If your media are like ours, you’ll never know if you rely upon them. It’s gotten to the point of having to “read” what’s not written like in the old Soviet Union. If there’s no name published, no ID whatsoever, it’s a reasonable assumption that you’re dealing with a member of a protected group.

One of the victims was a police officer (woman).

No mention of religion. But he was very drunk, they say, so since Muslims would never drink before a terror attack (cough9/11cough) it can’t be a Muslim.

Still Germany has not mentioned the religion of the “White German” who did the same thing yesterday in Heidelberg.

Headline:

“NOPD: 12 critical after CAR plows into Endymion parade crowd (Mardi Gras)”

I also saw this reported as a “truck”, immediately conjuring thoughts of Nice, France.

BUT, the TRUTH is...

“Police arrest an man at scene after PICKUP TRUCK slammed into Endymion crowd at Carrollton & Orleans “

How hard is it for the media to be ACCURATE?

Oh yeah, it was a young WHITE guy.

“Ashley 1 hour ago
This was not an act of terrorism. The man in the truck was sitting in traffic when he lightly rear-ended the vehicle in front of him. That person didn’t even seem to notice the initial hit, but the crowd reacted. Many people were saying, “You hit that car!” That made the driver of the truck panic. He slammed on the gas in what looked like an attempt to leave the scene. He hit the vehicle again, much harder this time, before going around that vehicle and into a crowd of people.”

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

Yep. And it is.
