Althouse: "Love you always brother! You inspired me every day, now you get to be with me in every moment. I got this family, T, don’t worry."

January 2, 2025

"Love you always brother! You inspired me every day, now you get to be with me in every moment. I got this family, T, don’t worry."

Wrote Jack Bech, to his brother Martin “Tiger” Bech, 27, who played football for Princeton and died in the Bourbon Street massacre.

Quoted in "Who are the 15 victims of the New Orleans attack?/The dead have not been named by the authorities but some families, schools and businesses have confirmed that their friends and loved ones are among the victims" (London Times).

Dave Begley said...: Since Biden unlawfully let into this country an unknown number of terrorists, attacks like this will become more frequent. And, yes, I know this terrorist was born in the US. What I’m talking about is a culture and infrastructure of terror.; 1/2/25, 6:15 AM

Lucien said...: The Times described the terrorist as a “Texas army veteran” — which is true but, as they say, lacks context.; 1/2/25, 8:00 AM
MadTownGuy said...: It's criminal that the FBI issued a statement early on that this was not a terroristic act, then walked it back when the facts (which the investigators knew from the outset) came out. House cleaning at the FBI, and the CIA, can't come soon enough; 1/2/25, 8:38 AM

mikee said...: Old School Roman Catholics would call leaving out his adopted religion and current political ideology (based on his banner of choice, an ISIS flag) a sin of omission. Just as serious as a sin you actively commit, one of commision. What the current Catholics would call it I don't know, being a long term Lapsed Catholic myself.; 1/2/25, 9:45 AM

Saint Croix said...: I wonder if any of the liberal girls who were cheering street assassinations and saying how much they wanted to fuck a killer are feeling at all bad about what they said.; 1/2/25, 12:29 PM
Saint Croix said...: What we need now is a discussion of the killer's abs.

Also we should have many op-eds about the drunks of Bourbon Street and how they need to change their ways and be better human beings.; 1/2/25, 12:32 PM
Rabel said...: Biden read a teleprompter statement last night around 8:30.

He was as bad as I've seen him. His tone was completely wrong (I'm in charge and I'm a tough but sentimental guy) as he read it aggressively, trying and failing to show strength.

Then he walked away awkwardly without taking questions.

Big Mike said...: I’ve now seen three security cam clips from the New Orleans attack posted online That Ford pickup truck was really diving fast. None of the clips seem to show people being struck, but there are some very narrow escapes.

Death toll is now up to 14.; 1/2/25, 4:10 PM
