At least 10 people were killed and 35 were injured after a vehicle drove into a crowd in New Orleans’ French Quarter on New Year’s Day.
The suspect is dead.
The incident occurred around 3:15 a.m. at Bourbon and Iberville streets near the end of New Year’s celebrations and hours before the AllState Sugar Bowl at the Caesars Superdome.
The suspect fired on officers, injuring two of them after crashing the vehicle. The two officers are reported to be in stable condition. The FBI is leading the investigation. The FBI says its investigating attack as “act of terrorism.”
First of all, there is no telling if he is Muslim. Secondly, the FBI tends to have more than one piece of evidence before making such a statement. But, by all means wait.
I’m not going to apologize for not trusting law enforcement.
I don’t care. I think it’s always good to have a bit of skepticism, but when facts slap you in the face you should realize it. Some times not everyone feels it.
Your responses suggest otherwise.
As I said, if I had known you wouldn’t believe what anyone says, there would be no reason to respond
I’m not going to apologize for not trusting law enforcement.
And yet you respond.
Because I didn’t know you believe in conspiracy theory. But, I will respond no further if it makes you feel better
Not sure where you got the idea that I “believe in conspiracy theory.” That would mean that there’s something unreasonable that I believe is true.
“Not taking the word of law enforcement as fact” doesn’t mean that I believe something unreasonable. It means that a statement from law enforcement alone is not enough to convince me that that statement is true.
I’d argue that if you’re willing to take statements from law enforcement as truth without corroboration, you’re going to find yourself carrying water for fascists more often than you’d like.
