NOLA

[sportsfanatic21]

Then what exactly are you doing here??? A terrorist attacks New Orleans, and you respond by calling New Orleans a **** hole. Why? What point are you trying to make by saying that? Do you just enjoy kicking people when they’re down?

I have many friends that live there that share the sentiment being stated here. They stay in their areas and don’t venture into the areas where all of this stuff happens. It’s gotten completely out of hand…even before this tragic event.

Murder rate per capita. NOLA was #1 a few years ago.

Newly released surveillance photos show Shamsud- Din Jabbar a little more than an hour before the deadly Bourbon Street attack. The #FBI is asking witnesses who passed him on the street or saw this blue ice chest containing an IED to contact us. https://t.co/YpD2NsVI5U pic.twitter.com/Em6PPsG4QK

I don't think they do, but they had these (in storage). Pas bon:

��NEW INFORMATION��

New Orleans Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick say’s potentially life saving sidewalk barricades were in storage instead of deployed on Bourbon Street New Year’s morning when a terrorist killed 14 people by driving a Ford Pickup down the famous French Quarter… pic.twitter.com/VMWxmByFkp

Obviously they did NOT have bollards in place -BUT they had the HOLES for bollards in the sidewalks at canal and Bourbon.
"Listen" Carefully:
Had the bollards been in the holes on canal and bourbon , the Islamic Terrorist Could not have made It past them. But since they removed them for an "upgrade," the police should have had THREE vehicles -NOT TWO - -OR SOMETHING ELSE- preventing access by vehicle down bourbon.
POOR PLAN!
Understand?

Well, it sounds like this A-- hole got what he sought from most of this bunch. Why say this? Out of 53 previous posts, about 3 lay the blame where it belongs, at the hands of an insane POS home grown maniac. About 5 more posts at least try to show empathy with the families of the victims. But the rest? Oh how willing are we to jump on & blame those in positions of service & security for not being insane enough to estimate the complete insanity of a mad man which our tax dollars helped train to become the killer that he was.

Bollards, or not, this moron would have tried to pull this stunt on another street had this street been tank proofed. What difference does it make whether it was Frenchman Street, or Canal, or any other street in any city in America? Until you can fix stupid, this problem is going to only get worse from here on out. Having said that, once again, the people in law enforcement in & around the affected area were doing & always seem to do a pretty damn good job of trying to keep a lot of people under the influence of a lot of alcohol & many other substances as safe as possible & I think they did as great of a job as possible under the existing circumstances in which we live today. I also thank the city for going forward with the game ASAP & not allowing this idiot & those who would follow his example the opportunity to get the only thing they seek; to make as many other people as miserable in this world as they are. My heart also goes out to the families of all the people who were hurt, or killed by this psycho. Personally, I don't think anybody else deserves one iota of blame, or criticism for this one person's hatred & murderous treachery.

Seems the picture somewhat resembles a mug shot?
Why such a plain picture, unless hebwas already on the perverbial radar?

Well said, Kyle. Maybe one of the best thoughts I've ever read on this board.

(And people don't stop to think this could very well have been exponentially worse.)
