Vehicle attack in New York
Vehicle attack in New York
Seems a flatbed truck ran a bunch of people over on a bike/walking path in lower Manhattan. Driver was shot (in the leg?) by police but still alive apparently. Terrorism initially suspected (as opposed to a run of the mill homicidal maniac), but no real details yet. Early report is 6 people killed.

Suspect is from Uzbekistan. 29 years old. Moved to US in 2010. Reportedly screaming Allahu Akbar and all that. The whole incident captured on video.
Playing right into Trump's hands. A diversion from Russia-gate and a boost for his "immigrants = terrorists/build the wall" campaign agenda all rolled into one.

Imagine if a flight crashed right now? The station would go into a tailspin trying to figure out what to cover first.son of vladimir wrote:Oh please, they'll obviously go with Kim Kardashian's weight gain.Miguelito wrote:CNN is going to have a heart attack trying to figure out which Breaking News story to cover more of.Edwardo wrote:

just because the guy has a long black beard and comes from a Muslim country does not mean it's an Islamic terror attack I'm sure most of the sense of sensible people here will agree this is just some random thing ,as the politicians will no doubt say over the next day or so.

on the positive side I heard the chocolate ration is being increased by 10%.
So this guy plowing into people on a bikepath reportedly yelling Allah Akbar and having a note found on him stating the attack was ISIS inspired is not undertaking an Islamic terror attack.Fred Edwards wrote:just because the guy has a long black beard and comes from a Muslim country does not mean it's an Islamic terror attack I'm sure most of the sense of sensible people here will agree this is just some random thing ,as the politicians will no doubt say over the next day or so.
"Inside the rental truck, investigators found a handwritten note in which Saipov had declared his allegiance to the Islamic State, according to officials."
Perhaps if he had no note and was yelling Deus Vult he might have put the police off track a little !

He has a beard too? Like one of those scary, I'm-gonna-cut-off-your-infidel-head-on-video type beards? Oh, that seals it then. All that other evidence is merely circumstantial. But the whole beard thing? Guilty!Fred Edwards wrote:just because the guy has a long black beard...

5 of the dead were tourists from Argentina. Another killed was a Belgian tourist. Many of the injured were tourists as well.
The deaths of the five Argentines were confirmed by the country's foreign ministry. They were part of a group of nine friends in New York to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their graduation from a polytechnic college in the central city of Rosario, Argentine media said.
