Another terrorist scouted it and reported back to their leader it was a prime location due to the bollards being removed.
Krazy Korner is St. Peter & Bourbon, a few blocks downB-1 83 said:Krazy Korner?Esteban du Plantier said:Stat Monitor Repairman said:
Yeah that's right there where that Krystal burger is. Everybody know where thats at.
Krystal is close to Canal, between Canal and Iberville. Conti is a couple blocks further down Bourbon.
for those tying to get your bearings, Conti & Bourbon is where royal sonesta and the famous door bar are.

High profile, relatively low security soft target. Biggest bang for his buck, so-to-speak.
NYE and Sugar Bowl crowds in a small area with little to no resistance. Where else is he going to have that kind of opportunity?
I don't blame them for telling folks not to talk to the FBI. We know the FBI works to entrap people and are highly dishonest, up to and including the top levels of the very dangerous organization with expansive secrecy and investigatory powers.newbie11 said:

At one point when the video is panning, you can see the top of the screen and clearly see that the screen is static, implying that the actual security camera shot is wider, and the person doing the recording is zooming in and panning on their phone. I'm not sure why it's so hard to understand that there could be a security camera positioned on a very busy street like this.nortex97 said:
Well I apologize for the stupid question I just thought this looked like a cell phone recording, maybe it is security footage just panned/zoomed into the truck.New surveillance video reveals New Orleans terror suspect Shamsud Din Jabbar bypassing a police barricade during the execution of the attack. pic.twitter.com/l0VegAV2XX

Correct. This is so obviously a camera recording of a video screen.
You can also see some of the moire effect from recording the LCD screen.

They apparently have steel barricades that can be 'erected' around Bourbon street but were not for NYE. I missed it but has an explanation been provided as to why they weren't up (these are just mechanically raised)?
I now see the community note that they were upgrading these so maybe that is it.

This improvement pending might explain the target selection.

These hydraulic steel barriers were installed on Borboun Street in New Orleans after an attack in France where the t*rrorist used his car as a weapon, k*lling 86.

Correct. There are also less cropped versions of the video floating around where you can see the computer and video software controls in the cell phone recording of the screen.
They were in the process of upgrading prior to the Super Bowl.

Why on earth were the "improvements" or "upgrades" not done on any other week OTHER than New Years/Sugar Bowl and say, Mardi Gras (to name the other obvious one)!!??nortex97 said:

Because a government agency is in charge.

Worse than that, a Louisiana and New Orleans government agency.

Likely security upgrades that are supposed to be done by the Super Bowl, which isn't for another month.
It's really sad that people can't enjoy themselves anymore without having to worry about an attack.

A few of these, parked building to building is an alternative method to block access to a street.
Of course I am not an aging police chief, so what do I know.

They absolutely do. They design websites and have recruiters active in social media searching for people with profiles like this to. Sympathize, radicalize, and weaponize is the MO.

Its' probably been discussed in this thread way back - what is the connection to Bryan. I saw KBTX put something out but the city rebuffed those accusations. Killer had relatives here or something? Fake news?
One consideration for the barrier thing might have been the impediment to pedestrian traffic. Parking a large vehicle in front of a narrow Bourbon Street entrance would cause a pedestrian backup onto Canal Street which would also be unsafe. Just a thought...

I wonder if that scissor lift or whatever he ran into saved many lives. Looks like his goal was to make it further down Bourbon Street to get close enough to detonate the devices, run over more people, and have a more controlled exit from his vehicle to start shooting.

This. Bollards are like filters. They need to easily allow pedestrian traffic while preventing vehicles. Not only would a parked vehicle or other large barrier inhibit pedestrian traffic and cause a potentially large crowd outside the barriers, it would also hem people in. If there were shooters in the crowd, it would be more difficult for them to escape.
Now the FBI is saying there weren't any others involved? How can they go from saying 3 men and a woman planting IEDS to it being a lone terrorist?
Have seen reports that he had remote detonation devices in his truck. So that would be my assumption. His intent was to drive by to detonate those preplaced further down Bourbon Street.Quote:

It's like you don't know today's FBI at all.
Maybe just station an officer with a rocket or bazooka at each end of the street. Something that can quickly destroy and stop a vehicle.

I think that was just initial speculation.
That said, there WERE certainly others involved, but they may not be local. He definitely got some kind of help with this.

I think this is fake. That's a screenshot from their Facebook but there are no posts in January. Nothing on their website either.

I very much understand it. Trump needs to be able to clean house there.
