Forgive me if I ask stupid questions here. I'm just finishing my first cup of coffee.
From what I gather this was a street celebration for New Year's Eve. In which case, the street would be closed and cordoned off (or at least it should have been).
The security consultant in me is wondering about the following:
- Was there perimeter security (Armed police or security at each access street).
- Was vehicle access control in place? (Jersey barriers or other hard barriers at each access street, or surrounding the cordoned off celebration area)
- Were drones on station to be used for over-watch?
- Were mobile surveillance camera trailers in place?
- Was there a command center with organized communications, video feeds, drone control, and established coms protocols in place?
- Were all LE agencies on scene able to communicate with each other? (One common issue is that multiple LE agencies may not have each other's air. In other words, they use radio coms on different frequencies.).
Here are some issues that jump out at me.
1. Terrorists are more likely to strike during dates or events of national or regional significance. Obviously, New Years Eve fits that description.
2. Terrorists wish to instill terror, that is why they are called terrorists. Acts of violence are more likely to frighten if they injure or kill large groups of people who are engaged in activities that most would consider safe.
3. Even if the attacker was motivated by something other than terrorism (an unresolved grievance, for example), large crowds are an attractive target.
4. Given the above known facts, it is obvious to the most casual of observers that a street celebration for New Years Eve is a desirable target.
5. While it is EXTREMELY difficult to properly secure such events, limiting vehicle access is a no-brainer.
Therefore the question most on my mind is this: How did this clown managed to get a pick-up inside the perimeter in the first place?

Glock Lawsuit? Expect a Coupon, Not a Payday
Chuck explains why class actions usually don’t deliver real value to the people in the class lawyers get the big payout while everyone else gets a tiny coupon-level benefit. He says the Glock case looks like the same playbook: pressure the company for attorney fees while Glock owners might end up with a rebate or discount that isn’t worth the hassle. He also defends Glock’s reputation for durability and why he personally trusts and uses them.
A true legend has passed. We are proud Chuck was part of the GLOCK story. His impact on our community and industry will not be forgotten.
R.I.P. Thank you for your great films and enjoyment.
New Gun Bill Allows Police To Enter Your Home To Check Your Guns Without A Warrant - SF 4290.
Mar 14, 2026 4 products
Minnesota gun control just crossed into warrantless home inspections, and every American should be paying attention.
In this video, I break down Minnesota Senate File 4290, a bill introduced on March 10, 2026, that would ban possession of many semiautomatic rifles and large-capacity magazines, require current owners to request certification to keep certain firearms, and require them to agree to law enforcement inspection of storage. The bill text also limits where certified firearms may be possessed and exempts government officers, armed forces members, and peace officers acting within the scope of their duties.
I’m talking about the Second Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, gun registration, warrantless searches, assault weapon bans, magazine bans, and what happens when the government starts turning constitutional ...
