Just saw a report on ESPN & he said that Superdome workers are being told to NOT report to work today. That doesn’t mesh with ESPN saying the game will go on tonight.

It happen in Germany at a Market, The markets in Germany are the one that is open. While I was station in Hanua, Ga. the town squad was the place that the market was done at.
To me, it doesn't matter if it was terrorist or domestic "terrorist attack"! These/this person killed American/other having a good time. 25's persons lost their lives because, of this not a human being.

While surfing around I ran across Fox Business replaying that interview. The post on X here...it appears it's been spliced together.
If I'm asked the same question, "is New Orleans safe tonight" my answer would be much the same. "Yes, but no." Then, "keep your head on a swivel and your hands free."
On another note, but related:
I've mentioned watch the split screen options on YTTV with football and basketball. These past 24 hours is the first time I've used in with "news." It's been interesting watching four different networks covering the same story. Hell, always is for that matter.

There's a narrative running with this story I don't buy: the barriers installed on the streets weren't up like they should have been. And, IF they were?
Recently I was sitting outside of the Ashley Towers at MUSC. I noticed some of the concrete barriers they had installed at ground level (contains main lobby, women's specialty care, and their "testing" wing for blood work, etc.) I asked about the barriers in front of the women's area and was told by the asst. head of security it was to prevent vehicles from crashing the building. (Three different projects over the last quarter of a century just adding a pole here, a pole there, etc.)
He couldn't answer one question. I pointed out there were barriers in front of that department for the women, but nothing in front of the main lobby entrance. I could literally drive a box truck in the front entrance, turn left and drive a box truck down the hallway. (That front entrance to the lobby is all glass. I literally watched people walk into the glass a few times a day while there.)
I was there a few nights and spoke with him every time we saw each other. As we looked around it was evident: there was little to no planning involved. It was all eye candy that serves a little purpose. "The world is a stage" represented.
Now, with New Orleans? Yes, the gates were down. Yes, there was a police vehicle blocking the middle of the road. And also yes...all he had to do was drive up the sidewalk, take a turn, and he could have driven a truck down Canal ... oh, wait.

From the WSJ Opinion section:
The terrorist: "Well damn, there's a sidewalk."

You know the police can do only so much. Cities like New Orleans and New York can harden their sidewalks and public squares against attack with barricades and surveillance, but these killers are nothing if not resourceful. They always come up with some new method of spilling the blood of innocents and spreading fear. In the infamous formulation, the terrorist only has to be lucky once. The bastards.

The police covered it up. Would you let an Islamic State flag continue to fly above the scene of a terrorist attack? I would want to rip it down and burn it, but they covered it up where it was to preserve the scene. There's nothing sinister about that.
Free link to WSJ's latest attempt to profile the killer. Looks like he was in a spiral, personally and professionally.
We all struggle to explain these actions. Some want to believe he was a pawn, that he fits nicely on their conspiracy chess board. If there are other pieces, they'll come together. In the end, it's difficult for rational people (and that's who we are) to explain an irrational act.
On the Las Vegas incident, I haven't seen where they identified the driver yet. Reportedly, the truck's design redirected the blast and limited shrapnel. Should've used a Prius.
