Comment on Equal under the law or something
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 year agoAt the time the N.O. Mayor’s office was arguing that it was not a terrorist attack. The FBI is now looking into it as a terror attack. Things change. It happens.
Shocker that when big, horrendous events happen that it’s all chaos and people not knowing what’s happening for hours and hours afterwards.
You know, not everything is a big fucking conspiracy. Sometimes its just different groups operating on different levels of available information and on different opinions on said information. I doubt the New Orleans mayor spends a ton of time working with the FBI, a completely separate organization.
I think he was also flying an isis flag.
Other way around, Mayor said it was terror, FBI originally said it wasn’t. Well, one person from the FBI anyway.
You’re right. My mistake.
The FBI special agent in charge said on a live broadcast a couple of hours ago that it was not terrorism. Maybe she misspoke. Maybe they realized the PR nightmare of that choice. But it is certainly not misinformation
The fact that PR might play into whether a specific attack is terrorism or not undermines the whole concept.
Not really. They might have been hesitant to label it as terrorism to prevent a panic. It’s not uncommon for law enforcement to withold details of an ongoing investigation for such reasons, or to not tip off co-conspirators that they’re on to them.

Hard to get anything right when you’re rushing to push your viewpoint, huh?
