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?

The Forgotten Law That Explains the Second Amendment.
The Tory Act of 1776: https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services...
Before the Second Amendment was written, Americans were disarmed.
In this long-form historical documentary, we uncover the Tory Act of 1776—a forgotten resolution passed by the Continental Congress that authorized the disarmament of Americans deemed “dangerous.” This episode explores how early American leaders understood the link between liberty, political dissent, and the right to keep and bear arms, and why the Founders later enshrined protections for all bearable arms in the Second Amendment.
Using original historical documents and Founders’ writings from Madison, Mason, Hamilton, and Jefferson, this documentary draws powerful parallels between 1776 and today, when Americans are once again divided between belief in constitutional limits and belief in centralized government power.

Tim Walz Somali Fraud COVER-UP EXPOSED! Trump Gets Massive 2026 Boost!
The walls are closing in on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as massive Somali fraud rings, welfare scams, and government-enabled theft continue to surface. Critics say Walz ignored warnings and allowed foreign nationals, scammers, and fraudsters to steal billions in American taxpayer money.
Evidence shows foreigners and organized thieves exploited U.S. programs “every way they could invent,” while leaders looked away or lied to citizens. This growing scandal has Americans demanding accountability, indictments, and deportations.
Reports from Washington D.C. and Mar-a-Lago suggest President Donald Trump is furious about the expanding Somali fraud. On camera, Trump addressed the issue directly.
At Trump’s Mar-a-Lago New Year’s event, he said his wish for 2026 is World Peace and auctioned a painting of Jesus for $2.75 million to benefit St. Jude’s children’s cancer ...
