That adage is known as the duck test. The duck test is a well-known example of abductive reasoning that is often referenced in everyday conversations. The test suggests that a person can identify an unknown subject by observing that subject's habitual characteristics. It is sometimes used to counter complex arguments that something might not be what it seems. The FBI should familiarize itself with the test because it does itself no favors by ignoring the obvious and attempting to lie to the American public. At approximately 3:15 am on January 1st, a murderer, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an Army veteran from Texas, drove his pickup truck into a crowd of people celebrating the new year. At least 15 people were killed, and another 35 injured. Law enforcement stated that Jabbar was not acting alone and was part of a more extensive terrorist network. A black ISIS flag was hanging from the back of the rented truck Jabbar used to carry out his terror attack. He was firing a rifle from the truck while wearing body armor and a helmet, according to a law enforcement bulletin. After driving into the crowd, he exchanged gunfire with several police officers, wounding two of them, before being shot dead by the officers. Approximately 30 minutes after Jabbar was shot dead, investigators discovered a pipe bomb containing nails and suspected C4 explosives inside an ice chest. This was left near police patrol cars at the intersection of Bourbon and Orleans streets, about three blocks from where the attack concluded. A second device was discovered approximately one block away from the first device. Investigators also found a potential third device inside a purple suitcase at the intersection of North Rampart Street and Esplanade Avenue, near the upper edge of the French Quarter. Two of the devices were confirmed to be pipe bombs hidden inside coolers, and they were connected for remote detonation, according to the bulletin. Investigators found a matching remote control in Jabbar's truck, which also contained mason jars filled with a clear liquid that appeared to be explosive. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
