I don't like how some domestic terrorists are also US veterans. I also don't like how some people would rather just dismiss the fact that some domestic terrorists are veterans, in order to pretend that it's not happening - which would result in it continuing to happen over and over again.

If you find a problem - and don't fix it, and pretend the problem doesn't even exists, it's your own fault if the problem becomes an unfixable disaster.

Looks like he had serious mental health problems. Often the case with these mass murderers.

The US needs to allocate MORE money to military and civilian mental health or else these tragedies will continue.

I like how New Orleans people are focusing on the victims of this despicable act of terrorism rather than on terrorist who committed it. Often in past times the victims/survivors get lost in the media spotlight when they focus so much on the criminals who committed the crimes and their capture/trial/execution, etc.


On another note, most victims/survivors of crimes may have had a mental health problems and are getting better despite of those challenges.

What I am trying to emphasize is that mentally ill people are usually the victims/survivors of crimes and not those who commit them.


Evil thrives when good people say nothing. The man who committed those heinous acts in New Orleans is evil.

No one said, nor suggested that all or most veterans were being labeled as such..

These two terrorists most certainly fit the bill, regardless of their former or current military standing...

But its legal term, via the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and Public Law 116-92, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, is "domestic terrorism."

One might also call it "the enemy within."

My Google works just as well as yours. But sure, call them "domestic terrorists" if it makes you feel better...

To prevent problems like the safety failures on Bourbon Street it does seem like a access to information should be more open and not limited to a few people.

More educated and connected people getting involved, not fewer.
