New York City has had its share of scares in recent years. In September 2016, a man planted two pressure cooker bombs in the neighborhoods of Chelsea and in New Jersey. One of them detonated and injured dozens of bystanders. The suspect, reportedly inspired by ISIS and Al Qaeda, was sentenced to life in prison. And I don't even need to get into how every September 11 there is a faded, yet ever present sense of fear in New Yorkers.
In other words, this is the last place to mess with citizens and leave strange devices around. Yet, the NYPD is currently searching for a person of interest who left three suspicious devices around downtown Manhattan, including at the Fulton Street subway station, one of the busiest hubs in the city. All three devices turned out to be harmless rice cookers, but the discovery disrupted the schedules of tens of thousands of commuters.

In a press conference just shy of 10 a.m. ET, the NYPD confirmed the three suspicious devices were empty rice cookers and gave the all clear.
Mayor Bill de Blasio thanked the NYPD for its swift action.
The NYPD has cleared the device found at 7th Avenue and 16th Street.
Thank you to New Yorks Finest for their quick work and our fellow New Yorkers for keeping calm and patient as the NYPD did their work.
Investigations into this and the Fulton street incident are underway. https://t.co/yEyGSTyfrf Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) August 16, 2019
Thats actually a pretty good move...if youre planning to place a real bomb in the near future.

BTW..... he looks like a Lib
It should not be very difficult to find the perp(s).
I remember a while after a national poison scare, my building in downtown Seattle was shut down and raided by Seattle police and a hazmat team because someone reported white powder on the carpet. I kid you not.
It turned out to be powdered sugar from a dropped doughnut. The backlash was so bad that corporate sent out a companywide email (It was Washington Mutual Bank) trying to shame people for laughing at the person who reported it.
I remember at the time laughing at it, as we were leaving the building.
It’s so easy to put liberals in a panic.
At the same time they could go Jimmy Kimmel and start using a pirate radio station to broadcast fake EAS signals.
He probably is a rat.
The dude looks like antifa.
> he looks like a Lib <
And a stupid one at that. Youd think at least hed cover up his tattoo and wear Groucho Marx glasses.
Antifa all over this creep. He needs a serious ass-kicking while resisting arrest.
He looks more than a bit like Anthony Weiner.
I was the leader of a hazmat team. Bank personnel seemed to be the worst when it came to freaking out over absolutely anything. They should be made fun of.
Is that Carlos Danger’s kid?
As you say...
Gonna be hard to miss that neck
Stoopid nu yukker.....as anyone knows, rice cookers need open fields with lots of water and sun. those ‘planted rice cookers’ will never grow.....
KYPD
They should be made fun of.
Dudes dead meat
