In reply to the discussion: Reported fatalities in New Orleans as vehicle apparently slams into Bourbon Street crowd [View all]SunSeeker
(58,358 posts)11. There were barriers. The guy went around them. This was very intentional.
A man driving a pickup truck down Bourbon Street at a very fast pace killed 10 people and fired on New Orleans Police officers, striking two who are in stable condition, police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said Wednesday morning.
Last night, we had over 300 officers out here, and because of the intentional mindset of this perpetrator who went around our barricades in order to conduct this. He was hell bent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did, Kirkpatrick said.

This is sad. You need a hobby. And a job. Things to get you out of your mom's basement.
