Another mucking fuzzie. No surprise there. Past warnings were ignored. Will happen again and again.

Praise the lord, he’s ok!................

Look at an aerial photo of the scene if you can find it on Google Map (do a search on the intersection of Hudson and Chambers Streets). The bike path isn’t one of those lanes you see running along the side of a street. It’s a two-directional path in its own right-of-way that is separated from Hudson Street by a landscaped median. There’s no way a truck gets onto that path without someone deliberately driving it there.

If.....If six are dead then you have at least six with with broken bones and serious injuries.

Geraldo says Source says Middle Eastern Man looks like Osama Bin Laden

Wonder where Chuckie isn't looking for a Camera?

OH, okay, like Euro paths.................

Tell the MAyor it ain’t guns— but Liberalism needs controlled. This does not sound like any right wing Christian but sure sounds like ISLAMIC TERRORISM to me.

Home Depot rental truck.

Seriously?

[robroys woman]

I’m not trying to be funny, but does the direction of travel even matter for a box truck driving on a bicycle path? WTF?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Then again, I suppose if you are driving a box truck, ANY direction on a bike path is the “wrong way”.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[AbolishCSEU]

"Both Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo were headed to the scene..."

...to offer congrats to the box truck driver and a selfie

[M Kehoe]

Let me hazard a guess. The perps name is Abu Sa’ad Mohammed.

5.56mm

[SkyDancer]

Meanwhile Home Depot will be sued for renting the truck.

[redgolum]

Nuts.

It was a matter of time. Trucks make better weapons.

[Deo volente]

The murder weapon. I can't even imagine the injuries. He must have been traveling very fast.

WABC has STILL not identified the ethnicity of the driver/shooter. Didn't see anything about the ethnicity on CNN.com, or any other website I looked at. Even the British Daily Mail site didn't have anything about the ethnicity. Makes me think even more that it's a Muzzlime or Black Muzzlime.

Clapper is on WABC radio now being interviewed. And they are interviewing another witness, a guy who was in the area at the time. Suspect had 2 guns in his hands. He didn't hear anything the guy said, who others said was "yelling" and running aimlessly around.
