What we know about Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the suspect in the New Orleans attack

ABC News said:
The suspect in a deadly attack on New Year's revelers in New Orleans has been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S.-born citizen from Texas, according to the FBI.
At least 15 people were killed and dozens injured after a man drove a Ford pickup truck through a crowd on Bourbon Street at a high rate of speed early Wednesday, multiple law enforcement sources and Louisiana Rep. Troy Carter told ABC News.
Authorities are working to determine whether the deceased suspect had any affiliation with terrorist organizations after an ISIS flag was found tied to the truck's trailer hitch, the FBI said.

Is the point of the OP that Texans don’t belong in the US?

No, but it shows that birth place is not necessarily indicative of identity.

Omar Mateen, the Afghan Islamic terrorist who shot up the Pulse nightclub was also born in the US. I guess to you he was a New Yorker ...

Given the ISIS flag, his motivation is Islamism, not the fact that he was born in Texas or was in the US military years ago.

Which part of the incident should we focus on, Patooka?

Exactly. More specifically, Islamic terrorism.

Laughing dog wants to focus on him being born in Texas instead.

I asked a question because your OP had no explicit point.

Right now, we don’t know what factors influenced this killer. Instead of jumping to a single casual factor that fits into one’s biases, wait for the facts. Didn’t you learn from Samantha Woll’s murder?
 
It’s a real head scratcher this one. What possible motive is there for Shamsud-Din Jabbar to carry out such an atrocity? Obviously we can rule out Islamic terrorism because that would be raycist!!11!!

Who's ruling it out?
 
The first three words of the OP give away the whole game: “Truck of peace.” Yes, it wasn’t an individual or a group of people who committed this act. It was an entire religion and everyone who subscribes to it. Absolutely pitiful. :rolleyes:
 
My extremely snide post #3 was mainly a response to a Xhit from Donald Trump claiming that the problem is US immigration laws allowing Muslim terrorists to come to this country.

It was on another forum.

He completely failed to mention that the perp in this heinous crime was a US citizen, born and raised in Texas, and a veteran of the US military.
His guns were probably legal.

No it would be racist to indict an entire religion without all its vast numbers of adherents because of the action of an individual claiming to speak in the name of that religion. Hence the title of the OP, “Truck of peace,” because that was exactly what Derec and evidently you propose. But I don’t blame you. You can’t even follow the arguments and evidence about human-induced global warming, so why would you be expected to have an enlightened, educated opinion about this or anything at all?

Let’s follow Derec’s “logic.”

He titled this thread, “Truck of peace.”

Let’s suppose the guy who did this really was motivated not by his interpretation of Islam, or whoever propagandized him, but instead by Texan nationalism. After all, there are Texans who hate the federal government and want to secede from the union. Some of them have even threatened violence.

Islam is called the religion of peace.

Texas is called the Lone Star state.

If an actual Texan nationalist had committed this crime, would Derec have titled his thread, “Truck of the Lone Star”?

Would he have confused the act of an individual Texan with all of Texas?
