The New York Post reported a letter that was partially written in Arabic was found in a plastic bag that held the second pressure cooker device in New York City Saturday night. That device planted four blocks from the bomb that exploded in the Chelsea neighborhood wounding 29 people did not explode and was taken away by authorities for investigation.
People here and people on FR seem to believe that the world revolves around Trump and everything relates to him. It doesn't.
I can't stand Trump, but I don't think there's a person in the world who didn't know right off that it was a bomb. I'm just puzzled as to why some people see everything in terms of how it relates to Trump - very strange!
Agreed - on all points.
NYC mayor says explosion “intentional” but not terrorism, alt-right already blames IslamCNN reported that an explosion hit New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood Saturday night, leaving dozens injured but no dead. There are no known leads as to who carried out the explosion and why, but controversy has already begun on Twitter. Mayor Bill De Blasio’s comments that the attack was “intentional” but showed no signs of “terrorism” have been criticized, and many on the alt-right are already linking the attack to Muslims.According to CNN, De Blasio said the attack “was an intentional act.” On the other hand, he said “there’s no evidence at thsi point of a terror connection.” Sensing a contradiction, many tweeters hammered him for these comments.In De Blasio’s defense, logically speaking, perhaps it’s possible a bomb could be intentional but not intended to kill civilians if it aimed to destroy property. The bomb was placed in or near a dumpster.As of now, there are no known perpetrators or assailants behind the attack. However, many popular figures among the alt-right–a right-wing movement supportive of Donald Trump’s candidacy–are already blaming Muslims for the attack.Read More At: http://www.albawaba.com/loop/nyc-mayor-says-explosion-%E2%80%9Cintentional%E2%80%9D-not-terrorism-alt-right-already-blames-islam-883920
If someone puts a bomb out on the streets it is terrorism no matter who did it. The most likely are Muslims since 99% of the time it is them so it is not far fetched to think it was terrorism. That is what I think it is even before they catch whoever it is Muslim or not.
@sinkspur I just saw they are saying it was not inside but next to the dumpster.
They think they know who it is now. https://mobile.twitter.com/JPeterDonald/status/777830341558042624Maybe someone can reproduce this tweet. Story breaking on NYC news,
