So there was a, which is it, you know, again, more of a suicide, but I don't know if a statement, if there wasn't, you know, obviously Elon Musk, Cybertruck, Trump Tower, if there was a statement to be made, they were pretty lucky in that Cybertruck directed the blast, at least is what I'm understanding, blasted up.
So even the glass didn't break, which is pretty fortunate for the people probably around there or inside the hotel. But right now, they have no speculation on the individual. You know, right now, no motive why we don't like New Orleans, we have a pretty good picture right now compared to, you know, this one where all we know is he was active duty military and now has shown up here.
Yeah. And I think access to a knowledge, you know, if you talk to like bomb techs in the FBI, they're like, you know, people that don't know what they're doing usually kill them. Like they get blown up or they'll blow out the limb or something. So there's a lot of technical stuff there. You know, the easy thing is throw some gas, throw some fireworks, light it.
or have some mechanism to light it and then kill yourself, and then it just does its thing. I don't know why he did it. It's interesting that he chose a Cybertruck because it's enclosed, although you could have had any truck buy a cover for it, but that specifically Cybertruck is enclosed. Why he chose that, maybe he thought the battery would do more damage than it really did.
It's unknown, but I assume that they're, well, unfortunate right now is chasing all those avenues to figure out, especially, you know, I know they just executed a search warrant at his home. I think they just said that, and that's going to be, you know, maybe there's some, obviously, computer forensics that they can go through to see what the individual has done or wanted to do. Mm-hmm.
And what was interesting about the Vegas one versus New Orleans, like I said, New Orleans, they pretty much identified the individual and then released the name. This one, they identified and then held back for whatever reason they determined at the time that they wanted to have, they wanted to know the name, but they didn't want the public to know the name.
I'm sure there's a law enforcement investigative reason for that. So maybe they were chasing down those connections. Now they have come back and said it. there are no connections other than military and a few overlaps. You know, Fort Liberty or Bragg is a very big base, so, you know, it's hard to, like, just because you serve there doesn't mean you knew each other.
And certainly different fields, one was Green Beret, one was an IK guy. So I'm certain that they are drawing all those conclusions and then they're hoping, again, once you get into computer forensics and all that and the telephones, did they have calls? Did they have emails? Did they have, you know, was there any other connection?
But I think they said right now, it's as of right now, they're saying there's absolutely no connection, which is interesting. That's a coincidence. Yeah.
Obviously, I know law enforcement's working on the prevention side. You know, there's a lot of investigation that goes on regardless of that. But how if you're Trump power, what do you do? I mean, you look at overseas, you know, they've been dealing with these types of threats a lot longer than us, especially in the Middle East. You look at 2008, Islamabad, Marriott bombing.
I mean, there was a pushback. It wasn't far enough, but there was a pushback. And I don't know if... You know, we talked to security and convenience, and I don't know if Vegas is ready for that, hey, we can't have cars right up front. You know, there's going to have to be a pushback where cars are there, maybe there's shuttles.
You know, I don't know if Americans are ready for that type of inconvenience, especially in Las Vegas, where you have to harden your security at exterior first before those cars can come in. And I'm sure you've been to Vegas recently. There's no, you can drive up almost anywhere, you know.
How do you stop a car from parking in front of a hotel? That's really the threat, right? Like, how do you stop a car from parking in front of the hotel?
if you don't stop the car out then there is no there's nothing you know i don't think there's a technological solution right now or or a human guard that's going to be able to figure that out really quickly a car stops and no one gets out for 15 seconds like how is that weird you know
I think those things need to be taken into account more. I think people get, I don't want to say complacent, they get hey, it hasn't happened here. We're a low threat. Now I would argue Bourbon Street clearly is packed all the time and a car going down that strip, you know, like that's an easy one to figure out. And clearly they knew it.
And again, I haven't seen the situation where how tight that, you know, that curb was or the sidewalk that he jumped over. Was it, you know, did someone look at that and they're like, there's no way, you know, we can stop them before they get here. Maybe it's because they didn't hear them or... Again, three in the morning, you know, people are clearing out.
There's a lot of questions that they ask. And I think when you look at crowds, I think cities and city policing is going to have to change a little bit to say, we have got to look at, like, and we say low tech, but hey, if it works, why would you go any higher? You know, if you can get a car and run people over, it's just as effective as almost anything.
So I think they're going to have to look at it.
