Sad yes. Scary about what may come makes this terrifying.

They did postpone the sugar bowl game at least 24hrs. Sad deal.

seen it on the news this morning, no reason for it..

Makes you wonder what is going to happen when you get the Super Bowls crowds. Hopefully they get there barriers in place by then which will help to shut down traffic on Bourbon street.

and what about the crowds on Jan 20 th too..

Several injured in Vegas

Wow that’s crazy. Hard not to see the symbolism of a Tesla exploding outside a Trump hotel.

A truck driven through a crowd? Unreal

The death toll is up to 15 now.

We really live in a messed up world.

Caught a blurb in the news about the increase of these incidents with vehicles as weapons globally is on the rise. Seems like throughout Europe, this is happening frequently. Maybe they didn’t pass a background check for an assault rifle:???: Turning the news on today sure is a hell of a slap of reality. Was fortunate to have a couple days completely isolated from the world for a buddy’s wedding New Years Eve in a small town. The wedding party got together and hung out for a couple days. Did a pheasant hunt, dinner, hung out at hotel,…. The world sure is a different place with all the news turned off. Just sad that people are compelled to engage in these acts of violence against innocent people just trying to enjoy life

The cyber truck was detonated (media said it started on fire or burst into flames) and the driver killed. Both drivers in these attacks were trained at the same military base and the vehicles were both rented off turo apparently. These won’t be the last.
The cyber truck by its design saved lives. There was a dude standing within a few feet of it when it exploded and he wasn’t killed

If only there were some common denominator so we could figure this stuff out…………………………………………………………

You wont hear it from the MSM for sure, but yes, it did make the news on reputable sites.

Seems odd. Not a lot of people calling for restrictions on Autos or at least a background check to buy one. What, No red flag warning laws needed on deadly item like a auto? They is just no way you can stop Evil people from doing evil things in this world.

Maybe if we require them to carry liability insurance in case of manslaughter they might have better background checks. Just a thought.

I also thought it was strange that the rental place was unknown to me but I don’t rent vehicles.

Europe tried with very strict gun laws and banning guns in certain parts of the country. All the criminals did was started to use knives then they put a size restriction on knives to combat that issue. Sometimes common sense isn’t too common.

No surprise you hadnt heard of it because its not a traditional rental company. This is a carsharing company where its individual’s personal vehicles similar to like a VRBO.

yeah, intentional deadly car attacks are as common and happen multiple times every day like gun violence.

such a well thought out, articulated comparison.
