Police investigating the failed car bomb attack on Times Square in New York are focussing their attention on surveillance footage of a white man seen shedding his shirt near the SUV where the bomb was found.

The unidientified man, who appears to be in his 40s, is seen on the footage looking furtively over his shoulder and removing a dark shirt, revealing a red one underneath. The man then stuffs the dark shirt into a bag, officials said.

Investigators are also examining eight bags of a non-explosive grade of fertiliser which was found in a metal rifle cabinet amongst the other materials in the Nissan Pathfinder, including gasoline, propane, firecracks and alarm clocks.

Surveillance video released by the New York Police today shows a man, right, removing a dark shirt in an alleyway.

He reveals a red shirt underneath stuffs the dark one in a bag.

He then picks up the bag and walks away.

Looks like the NYPD has its eyes on the domestic terrorist.

I can’t tell if he’s “white” or light skinned?

They are sure in a hurry to call him a “white man.” All they can say is light-skinned, but now he’s conclusively “white.”

By this definition, Mo Atta and company were “white.”

Looks like he’s wearing a red shirt.

Proves he’s a Republican.

IMO, this is the NYPD’s ‘white van’. IOW, it’s unrelated.

But what do I know? Nothing.

I gotta feeling this one will be walked back in short order, just the the claim that the DC Sniper(s) were/was a white male in his 20’s...

He’s in the middle of the walking path...not to the side...and he’s taking one shirt off...Probably came out of an air conditioned place...too warm for him and he decided to take one of his shirts off. I do it all the time.

Exactly. My husband and I were just saying the same thing. He’s fair-skinned but so are many Arabs.

Since the NYPD can tell conclusively that he is "white", maybe the NYPD can also tell the man has some sort of Tea Party affiliation.

Whatever, Republicans wouldn't dare mount this type of terrorist attack on an afternoon in the vicinity of Times Square.

Anyway, I'm getting fed up with the false left-right, Democrat-Republican, liberal-conservative paradigms, (but we should remain conservative), the globalist elite are using them to divide the populace when we should come together.

That’s because the images are blurry and of poor quality.

There are only four races. Arabs would be classified Caucasian, based on this categorization.

Considering that it was 84 degrees in NYC on that day, what is so unusual about a man deciding he’s warm, taking off his outer shirt, and putting it in his backpack? Maybe he’d just come out of an air-conditioned area.

Yet they rarely ever mention race when the suspect is black. In any case, the guy could well be white, possibly light-skinned middle eastern or radical left nut job “celebrating” communist May Day.

“Peace Action” had a big “no nukes” rally in Times Square yesterday (May 2), before they marched over to the UN. They called for the “reunification” of the Koreas and said they were “inside the belly of the beast” (U.S.). The chair of “Peace Action” is Judith LeBlanc. LeBlanc not only is a co-founder of United for Peace and Justice, she is also vice chair of Communist Party USA. Many of the dopes and dupes who participate in these rallies know nothing about what the movements are about.

Not to worry, the director of homeland security just said (on Fox and friends) that this may or may not be terrorism. So her department can identify tea partiers, NRA members, returning veterans and anti-abortionists terrorists, but an actual act of attempted terrorism...well, let's do the investigation first.

He looks Iranian to me. Iranians are white. So are many middle easterners. Skin color doesn’t determine nationality.
