What are the odds this murderer is a big fan of Elon Musk like the guy in Germany?
Also:
adding the driver had not been taken into custody.
What does this mean? They’re at large? They were found not at fault and were let go? The cops told them, “get out of here, you scamp!” What?
Subheading:
The driver remained at large after the Bourbon Street incident, police said.
The article has been updated:
the suspect allegedly got out of the truck wielding an assault rifle and opened fire on police officers, law enforcement officials briefed on the incident told ABC News. Officers returned fire, killing the suspect who was not immediately identified, sources said.
It means either they haven’t been found or there’s nobody looking.
My take from the article is that they lack manpower, so I’m leaning towards the latter.
Correct.
But a concerning thing to me is that there has been a lot of crossover between some white nationalists and extreme islamist terror orgs over the last decade or so.
They have very similar (conservative) values and goals (accelerationism). One WN group that was recently busted up was called The Base, which is also the English meaning of Al Qaeda.
Though the American government is much more quick to label Islamic adjacent attackers terrorists than any white attacker.
Despite their similar ideology these groups have almost no overlap because they hate one another so I guess I’m not following your line of thought here. Besides endorsing similar tactics and hateful ideologies is there any other connection?
Please do not fall for the right-wing rumor mill. There was a flag. That’s pretty much all we can say for sure right now.

Your own article confirms it was an ISIS flag so I have no idea why you responded so dismissively.
