The isis flag sure takes this to another level of confusing, can we blame lead poisoning maybe? 🤔

The reporter said the attacker drove onto the sidewalk, around the ballards and something else that was blocking him .

He had an ISIS flag? Are we going to start looking for WMD's now?

After seeing the intelligent precautions taken in Time Square, I wondered how many cities would take similar, effective precautions at their New Year Day celebrations. New Orleans did not. These attacks can occur anywhere, anytime - large gatherings or small.
