US authorities have identified the man who drove a pickup truck into crowds of people celebrating New Year’s Eve in New Orleans.

What were his political motivations??
That big dopey guy standing there with the blank look on his face is actually one of their Senators! He measures up to his appearance.
Let me guess..
Ridiculous statement by Mr. Smith of the Guardian
The one in Germany had Zionist connections, should be looked into.
Where were his parents from? Asking for a friend.
"a 42-year-old American citizen from Texas" .. big pickup truck, gun, Texas all the way
If he was ex Army, he would have been a perfect candidate for any terrorist group, as he had military training..!
Always remember the US government is currently funds Isis and this is man is ex US military.
