Could his morning’s terror attack in New Orleans have been prevented with commonsense local leadership?
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a terror attack hit New Orleans this morning with at least 12 people dead and at least 35 injured. Now, one person has come forward with disturbing details alleging a massive security breakdown.
Fox News reported a driver in a white pick-up truck intentionally plowed a car into a crowd of New Year’s gatherers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, according to authorities.
The suspect died during the gunfight with police. It is unclear at this point if it was suicide by cop or he took his own life.
The corporate media has claimed the witness the driver drove around the barricades. But one person is calling BS and has come forward with disturbing details alleging a massive security breakdown.
NOLA resident Jimmy Cothan told CNN earlier that city officials refused to put up hydraulic steel barriers which could have stopped the driver.
“We had these hydraulic steel barriers from past events,” Jimmy Cothan stated. “Last Mardi Gras this happened.”
“These barricades were not up, period,” he added. “They had the flimsy orange ones that you could just push over with your finger.”
“We thought that was kind of odd…The fact that they never raised them; that’s how the guy was able to get down Bourbon Street so quickly and cause so much damage.”
So infuriating.

WTF?! The City of New Orleans HAD hydraulic steel car barriers, but left them DOWN last night
Instead, they opted for “flimsy orange ones that you could just push over with your finger,” per a witness.
