> [@Procrustus](#): > > UPDATE: Shamsud Din Jabbar Identified As New Orleans Terrorist; ISIS Flag Found With Explosives In Pickup Truck – The Yeshiva World The guy in Vegas was killed. I get that some of these guys seek martyrdom but why would you blow yourself up when it’s just as easy to walk away and detonate remotely? EDIT I thought pickup truck in the headline was the cybertruck but I see it’s all about the NOLA attack. So I guess we still don’t know what happened in Vegas. I hope _that_ stays in Vegas. ---

> [@Stranger\_On\_A\_Train](#): > > It’s not about a direct threat to Trump but just the suggestion of terrorism. That’s true. The more that Terrorism is on the minds of Americans, the more Americans will call for–or at least tolerate–a true police state. (Which will not only let Donald stay in office until he dies, but also let him crucify anyone who says something mean about him. Rows and rows of crosses on the Mall!) > [@kenobi\_65](#): > > One thing that comes to mind is, if they catch fire (as the Cybertruck did), [they burn intensely, with fires that are difficult to put out](https://fireisolator.com/why-electric-car-fires-are-hard-to-extinguish/), due to the nature of EV batteries. Yes, that’s true. As we now know (22 hours after your post), both incidents involved men who wanted to create fire and explosions. ---

Actually [reporting now says Vegas guy killed himself with a gunshot to the head.](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/us/las-vegas-cybertruck-explosion-details.html?unlocked_article_code=1.mU4.wK6V.xHqDuwGrJAUf&smid=url-share) And he was also military, active duty but on some type of leave. Also, a white dude. That will fuck up the preferred narrative. ---

They’ll just continue on with the immigrant narrative. Probably a DEI example. Woke. Democrat. … What right-wing media is going to correct them? Ears and minds closed. “They’re dead, Jim Kolak.” ---

Two more Domestic Terrorism events today: An IED was found on a train in Idaho. [FBI involved, trains have been halted.](https://www.khq.com/news/idaho-man-arrested-for-allegedly-planting-explosive-device-on-railroad-car/article_146a4ac0-c9a2-11ef-bc12-1ff72496f783.html) and Also, the driver of an 18-wheeler in SC at a traffic stop [has claimed there is a bomb in the trailer. (the highway has been shut down).](https://www.wsaz.com/2025/01/03/bomb-threat-shuts-down-lanes-i-85-greenville-sc-suspect-arrested/) ---

> [@Kolak\_of\_Twilo](#): > > Also, a white dude. > > That will fuck up the preferred narrative. Only to an extent. How is New Orleans described? Terrorism. From the beginning. Across nearly all major American news outlets. Those same news outlets have yet to use the “T” word for Las Vegas. I wonder why? 🤔 ---

If they can try to link videogames to school shootings, I think we can also now see a clear link from US military service to domestic terrorism. ---
