Missouri Dude On Blast for Teachin' Folks How to Make Bombs: NOLA Attack Connected
This ain't no joke: A Missouri cat's online tutorials allegedly helped a terrorist turn Bourbon Street into a warzone.

SWEET SPRINGS, Mo. – Listen up, y'all. This ain't no drill. This dude Jordan Derrick, 40, from Sweet Springs, Missouri, is catchin' a whole lotta heat 'cause he allegedly posted bomb-making tutorials online. Now, peep this: them tutorials might be linked to that tragic New Year's Day attack in New Orleans back in '25, where folks lost they lives and got seriously messed up. This is some real talk, man.
R Matthew Price, the U.S. Attorney, is throwin' the book at Derrick. We talkin' 'bout charges for makin' explosives without a license, possessin' illegal weapons, and spreadin' info on how to build bombs. This ain't no slap on the wrist, know what I'm sayin'?
So, what went down? Some dude named Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a known ISIS supporter, drove a truck straight through a crowd of people celebratin' on Bourbon Street. Straight up tragic. But get this: Jabbar allegedly planted IEDs too, but they didn't detonate. Thank God for small favors.
Here's where it gets real shady. The feds say Jabbar learned how to build them bombs from Derrick's social media accounts. Word is, Derrick had step-by-step instructions for makin' some serious heat, like RDX, TNT, PETN – the kinda stuff that ain't supposed to be in civilian hands. The FBI even said the bombs Jabbar made were similar to the techniques Derrick was postin' online since way back in September '23. Smh.
This shows how easily folks can get radicalized online. People lookin' for answers, feelin' lost or angry, can stumble upon this kinda mess and get caught up. It's a real problem, especially in communities where folks are already strugglin'.
And it ain't just NOLA. Check this: Some fool in Odessa, Missouri, blew up his own crib on May 4, 2026, tryna make a bomb from Derrick's tutorials. This ain't a game, man. People gettin' hurt, lives gettin' ruined. For what?!
This mess brings up a lot of questions. How are these social media companies gonna step up and take down this kinda dangerous content? They makin' money off this mess, but they ain't doin' nothin' to stop it. They need to be held accountable.
And what about the government? They gotta do more to help folks who are vulnerable to radicalization. We need more resources in our communities, more jobs, more opportunities. People ain't gonna be lookin' for this kinda stuff if they got somethin' to live for.
