My thoughts are that terror attacks resulting in mass casualties are bad. Terrorist groups like the one this fool pledged allegiance to are bad. This guy was home grown and a veteran. We've seen that play before(McVeigh). This will happen again. Hard to stop it. The biggest shake my head goes to the city of New Orleans. Shame on those officials responsible for security. Where were the anti-truck barriers? The bollards? Didn't the NY Times do a story on this a few years ago about how NO wasn't prepared for a potential attack like this? After Katrina, you would think this city would never EVER be unprepared again. But it was.

Don't know where to start on this one but I'll take a stab at it.

Most importantly, this is Islamic extremism, which is imported, not home grown. Then you go back 30 years to find something 100% different to compare this to. Then you blame New Orleans. Total mindset fail to blame everyone but the terrorist. At least you didn't say "truck rams crowd, kills 15" like some of the usual outlets.

Feel free to respond to this version if you have anything to add OSH. Sorry, didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
