    Looks like they’re running out of blood in NOLA. If you’re in the area, give some.

    Latest news. The pickup looks like it has an ISIS flag. There were 4 suspected IEDs found in the French quarter. Looks like a home has been isolated and raided by police.

    NOLA.com, citing one unidentified law enforcement source, reported that same suspect was carrying an ISIS flag in the truck. Reuters was unable to verify the reports and the U.S. Army did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Why did they reach out to the US Army? Only other mention that could be in reference to the Army is this later on in the article:

    A bystander is seen kneeling over one of the bodies as a group of uniformed military personnel in green uniforms and carrying firearms runs past.

    But it would be super weird for the Army to be doing domestic policing, wouldn’t it? And it doesn’t really relate to the suspect having an ISIS flag.

    Weird.

    “As we search for a motive, remember there is no making sense of evil,” said New Orleans City Councilman Oliver Thomas.

    Kind of a weird claim. Most evil makes sense. Like, sure, kicking a puppy is kind of nonsense. But a lot of evil is “my tribe is better than your tribe” or “I want power more than I want you to be safe”

    This trend has to stop. Innocent people walking down the street or shopping at Christmas markets are not the cause for your insane skewed reality. Ugh.

    This is the kind of thing that was the big difference from what happened in new york. Already in this thread there is a comment that its fine for the violence and before new york people did not like this, like me. No matter what the cause this indiscriminate bullshit is not ok, but tageted. How is targeted that stop the perpetrator worse than law enforcement or wars? Unless ceos and board of directors bought up the place and did not bring any friends or family, this is not cool.
