[News] New Orleans Incident

What are you suggesting? False flag?

Conspiracy theorists are imprisoned by boolean logic.

You took the opportunity to like a post calling me personally an Islamophobe, and when I challenged this baseless potentially libellous accusation you doubled down by either not having read my reply/the original post, in an effort to score points. It was bang out of order.

Whatever.

Haven’t read the thread so apologies if it has been said but the attacks in the US have links to what is happening in Syria since the fall of Assad imo.

Despite it being an intrinsically good’ thing that a dictator was deposed, as happened in Iraq, it has left a vacuum into which ISIS and ultra-conservative Islam groups are maybe starting to reassert themselves - starting with the education system. That was the fear of the West, it is the fear of the people of Syria that the new rebel led regime could move Syria back to a strict form of Islam. If attackers are now committing atrocities bearing the black flag of ISIS, that suggests to me that they have contact with ISIS members who are trying to take advantage of the political turmoil in Syria,

Yep. The new leader has links to Isis & Al Qaeda. Just another murderous regime to deal with

So no responsibility for the perpetrators of militant islamist massacres? That's the racism of tiny expectations, surely? Billions of Muslims & their multiple, super rich, super abusive to their subjects states can't cope with a nation the size of Wales, that was there millennia before they were in the area existing? So they have to bomb Arianna Grande concerts? & Christmas markets? & the regular rest. They just can't help themselves?
Wow.
Just f***ing wow

You appear to have forgotten Israel's role in this mess. Terrorist proxies vs terrorist state - both as bad as each other.

Why is there so little discussion on the board about the American army vet who tried a mass killing event in vegas but failed. He served in many of the same places as the American born New Orleans attacker who was successful in his mass killing. I am trying to think what might be different between these two American servicemen. Is it because one is a vet and the other was still serving?

As you point out he, thankfully, failed. It’s the same reason the planes which were flown into the twin towers are a lot more infamous than flight United 93. Or how the London bombings are tragically more often remembered than the numerous failed or smaller scale attempts before and since.

It is the entire point and literal definition and purpose of terrorism

So his background is nothing to do with it? Do you believe that? Odd how much coverage it got initially and then suddenly it became less important though right?

Initially it was a huge story. Then suddenly it is “oh well. He failed anyway. Serving US serviceman so a different issue anyway compared to the other retired serviceman”

Both of them served in the same place and the same time ( and "may" have both been in Afghanistan) as well as the cars both being hired from the same place. On the other hand, one is flying an ISIS flag and the other is an anti Trump / Musk suicide.albeit performed at similar times.

I'd imagine there is a boat load of these cases we are currently unaware of. I'm interested how it plays out.
