I've heard of more than a few cases where cops coax the perpetrator into writing a letter of apology. The cops will try to sound friendly and supportive, yes, I know you didn't meant to do this, yes, I understand there must have been a reason, and I know you must feel bad, why don't you write...

Oh, and his driver's license is revoked. ...for three years.

SBM. If you read the article it talks some about finances. 1. He owes wife #1 who he had two children with $2200/month child support, as of 2022. He also had to provide for their medical insurance. 2. He owes wife #3 who he had one child with $1353/month child support (I think this was as of...

RSBM. So I poked around a turo group to ask about how insurance works. For the car owner there is $750,000 of liability insurance through Traveler's Insurance provided by Turo. Obviously this would exceed that. There is also insurance for vehicle replacement, at varying levels of deductible...

So as I was reading about where the perpetrator may have been radicalized -- on-line and how if so or in-person and where if so -- it got me thinking. Where did the ISIS flag come from? Was it home-made? Because I imagine you can't go on Amazon and buy one. I'm probably now on a FBI watch...

RSBM. Curious, I just now Googled 'car rental houston'. At the bottom of the first page there is a link to Turo (though it's not in the list of 8-10 results for car rental companies on that first page).

Another possible theory: he committed suicide for personal and mental health reasons, and chose Trump Tower as he hoped it would draw attention to poor mental health care and too-frequent suicides in the military. Maybe the Tesla is just because Musk has been in the news a lot lately and he...

I'm watching a local news source talking about how they are vetting video of the truck entering Bourbon Street. Allegedly, there was a police car blocking Bourbon Street and the truck went around them, then onto the sidewalk, then started plowing into people. This came from local news at WDSU...

Yeah, I updated my post with two paragraphs quoted from the article, where Fox said he was not believed to be the person who crossed the border in November.

That's not much of a difference at that age, where living rough can make a person look prematurely aged. Not sure on the eye color.

You can conceal carry in Florida without a license, but in most cases open carry is illegal.

I don't think he was targeting people necessarily. He originally tried to get back into his own classroom, so if he was targeting anyone I'd think it would be there. But since the door was locked, he seems to have turned to the first unlocked door he found and started shooting.

If someone did go through that trouble, I assume they were probably up to other nefarious activities as well. Or at least, considering nefarious activities in their immediate future.

You could probably make up a name. But they do require payment and I'm not sure how you could pay for a rideshare without that being trackable. Do they take prepaid cards, maybe? Or cryptocurrency? I've never heard of a rideshare that takes cryptocurrency but that would also be hard to trace.

The fact that they've not located him with all this information makes me wonder if he's not a native. So many photos, and the rideshare would have his name and credit card information, one would think. Do tourists arriving in Australia have a photograph taken at border control?
