From a Fox News article:
“New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said her city fell victim to a "terrorist attack" at a news conference after a driver plowed a car into a large crowd of New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street. “
Also in Fox article: “However, FBI Special Agent Aletha Duncan said the incident is "not a terrorist attack" in comments delivered after the mayor spoke.”

Nothing good ever happens after midnight but this is the Chocolate City so double that warning. It's also a crowd of drunken revelers so double it again. Been there once, never went back.

The professionals at the NOPD say they haven’t identified a motive but I’ll bet a lot of amateur sleuths out there already have it pegged.

I will wait for the news from a civilian poster that was there, and use common sense. The media reports from their newsrooms over coffee, FBI, and police briefings are totally worthless drivel, telling us what it is not, but never what it is. The propaganda media has lost their audience.

Biden has been briefed. They are now feverishly working on the lie to tell the American people. The longer it takes the bigger the lie.

His name is Muhammed. Shouted Allah Hu Akbar. The police are still looking for a motive...

I live in the New Orleans area. Last night as I was going to sleep, I said to my spouse, ‘I wonder how many people will be killed in New Orleans overnight.’ I didn’t think it would be this many all at once.

I'll wait and see. Could be most anything in NO on New Year's Eve. Alcohol, medical problem, seizures or the "Religion of Peace".
I am temporarily banned from driving because of a seizure a couple of months ago. Those are a complete blackout, and you don't want to be behind the wheel when one happens. I knew a local man here. Nice guy, and he had a heart attack while driving but managed to steer his car to the curb before he died.
Then again, a drunk, a terrorist, a nutter who suddenly snapped? We will see. If his name is Mohammed, then we'll know. I realize that this sort of thing can happen anywhere, but New Orleans has always been a dangerous city. My son went on his honeymoon there years ago, and they wanted to take one of those graveyard tours, but some were deemed too dangerous to tour because of their proximity to certain public housing projects.

#9, local news here is reporting that this is indeed an intentional act—long gun found in truck with suppressor, truck drove around barricade, IED found in truck, possible bomb found blocks away, attacker exited truck and shot at police officers, so I don’t think this was a medical event. It would be easier to accept if that were true.

LaToya. Would you take the word of anyone, any public official named LaToya? (Granted, LaToya had nothing to do with the commission of this evil act.)

And you can see the coverup of this Islamic terrorism working hard until they cannot cover it up any longer.

The best news is that the Muslim scum, 7th century barbarian named "Jabbar" is DEAD. Good riddance of another evil terrorist. More of these attacks will be happening, count on it. Avoiding crowds is a good plan.

Re #1, as usual, the FBI agent is LYING. "Aletha" is almost certainly another DEI 'special agent'.

#9. Once fell asleep while driving. Embarrassing to wake up in the middle of a street with folks blowing horns at you. Now, when I going to drives for hours, take a caffeine tablet in addition to drinking lots of coffee. The problem with coffee in you'll be looking for a rest stop. The stay awake pills work.
