Was the driver jabbering incoherently about some false deity with the name Allah?

If it’s a Mardi Gras parade, it’s going to be another local drunk.

The live stream is slammed, won’t load. Something about a white van in comments, several say it was weird and looked intentional rather than accidental.

Until this is shown to be not terrorism, I’m going to assume it is terrorism.

.... My guess it’s some snowflake parent or kid that was up all night playing a marathon Grand Theft Auto session while fuming over being denied the First Clarinet seat in the band.

I fully concur. Jihadists are doubling down now, and the media is too concerned that Kellyanne Conway had her feet on an oval office couch.

My guess is a local drunk, too. They drink a LOT in Louisiana, especially during Mardi Gras (which ends tonight, if I remember correctly).
