EDIT: The FBI has since corrected themselves and are now treating it as an act of terror.

    Apparently this doesn’t refer to the New Orleans truck attack, since the FBI is investigating that one as an act of terrorism. Must be a different one.

      They are now treating it as an act of terror but the original statement was that it was not an act of terrorism. This changed after the screenshot was taken.

      EDIT: Below is a screenshot of reports at the time, before the FBI changed their tune.

          The screenshot includes a date and time. It was accurate at the time.

                …apparently he had an isis flag too.

                Unconfirmed. It was a black flag hitch cover last I read, and I don’t know of many places selling ISIS pick-up truck accessories.

            And it no longer is, so you should delete it.

              Did the FBI say initially say it was not terrorism? Yes. Regardless of whether or not they changed their mind later, their initial reaction is and will always be fact. That was the point of the post.

            Taking shit down when you find out it’s wrong is a thing.

              It’s a note for historians. And how they backtracked based on public pressure.

              OP should keep the post up.

                Willful ignorance can in fact be a tool for historians, so at least that part of the rationalization is true,

              It isn’t wrong. They said it wasn’t terrorism at first. That is and will remain a fact and it is the point of the post.
