I guess it depends on how well you can secure the "secure area".
Right. And that was my qualifier in the post above. If you don't have enough time to secure the Superdome (including putting up k-rails and other barriers along all the walk ways) then take a day (assuming there is credible intelligence of co-conspirators and not just people scared of their shadows). But if there were the resources to secure the ingress and egress into the Superdome, then this reeks of CYA-ism.
There are other factors than just "time" at play, though, that you have to take into consideration.
You're assuming that the area and stadium are secure.
But you could make that same argument after any shooting, too. If there were a confederate battle flag, rather than ISIS flag, in the front seat, I don't think they would have postponed the game.
And it doesn't matter, as the recent election showed. Many people want to believe that all (or nearly all) immigrants are criminals and terrorists and so on, and the fact that the attacker was born in the USA and is a U.S. citizen won't matter. I was afraid of something like this as soon as heard about it. Trump & Company will run with this story for all its worth in pushing their deport immigrants agenda when they take office later this month. That the facts don't really fit with his claims is nothing more than a minor inconvienience, either to him or to his supporters.1. "When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true. "
NOT TRUE - and the perpetrator was an American citizen from Houston TX
Undocumented Immigrant Offending Rate Lower Than U.S.-Born Citizen Rate
An NIJ-funded study examining data from the Texas Department of Public Safety estimated the rate at which undocumented immigrants are arrested for committing crimes. The study found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and...nij.ojp.gov
2. "The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before."
NOT TRUE - at all
Trump lies as easily as he breathes.
Not every shooting presents the same risk to public safety that a terrorist attack does, you can't compare a terrorist attack to a simple shooting.
I don't know about that. 15 people died and there may be accomplices on the loose. I have a feeling that the image on the flag wouldn't make much difference. Hard to know though.
I'll freely admit that I know nothing about this situation and that, at some level, I have to trust government officials to make the best judgment call they can. So I'll never come down too harshly on officials acting cautiously (similar arguments could have been made during Covid).
Possibly? Driver died inside. It’s Vegas. Could be the mob. Could be a Canyonero incident. Investigation underway.
Could be the crappy car.
Yes, that is what I meant by the (admittedly somewhat vague) reference to a Canyonero incident.
Why don't you tell us your well formed theory?
