President Biden reassured Americans that New Orleans is safe, following an emergency meeting with his homeland security team. He acknowledged the importance of re-evaluating security measures, especially with upcoming major events in the city. The administration stresses the need for vigilance while exemplifying faith in local law enforcement's capacity to handle security risks.

Bourbon Street in New Orleans has officially reopened a mere two days after a devastating terrorist attack that resulted in at least 14 fatalities. The FBI has stated that there is no ongoing threat to the public, asserting that the assailant, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, acted alone. Jabbar, a Texas native and military veteran, reportedly had ties to ISIS, having declared his allegiance to the terrorist group on social media prior to the attack. He was armed with multiple firearms and an explosive device at the time he drove a rented truck through the crowded street, injuring over three dozen individuals. In the aftermath of the attack, family members of the victims have begun to step forward to share their stories. Among the deceased are a recent high school graduate set to begin nursing school, a 27-year-old mother of a four-year-old, a former Princeton University football star, and a 37-year-old father of two. The FBI is actively investigating the incident and is calling for any witnesses or individuals who knew Jabbar to come forth with information that may assist in the ongoing investigation. President Biden addressed the nation on social media, assuring Americans that New Orleans remains secure in the wake of this heinous act of terrorism. Highlighting the resilient spirit of the city, he emphasized that such violence will not deter the community's vibrancy and strength. In a statement reflecting on the situation, Biden noted that while security measures are always a priority, they must continue being assessed and enhanced to ensure public safety during large-scale events, especially following incidents like this one that disrupt the peace.

@bqktwcommentary

They cannot say theres no ongoing threat to the public! They didnt think there was a threat before this guy rammed that down Bourbon street. I kinda want authorities to stop saying this line. What about telling the public to always be in guard? My gosh ... theres so many mass attacks in the United States these days ... much more than there was in the 70s etc.

There was no plan in place. a plan not fully implemented is not a plan in place. Yall knew the high tech barriers were not working. instead of setting up concrete barriers yall did nothing.
