Breaking: small explosive device thrown at military recruiting office in Times Square, New York City.

Sophisticated getaway vehicle, LOL!

It's all they could afford when they're still living with mommy and daddy at age 45.

I’m sure the bomb-throwing was done by some lovely pacifist “peace” activist.

From Fox News, Explosion Hits Military Recruiting Station at New York's Times Square

....""If it is something that's directed toward American troops than it's something that's taken very seriously and is pretty unfortunate," said Army Capt. Charlie Jaquillard, who is the commander of Army recruiting in Manhattan."...

He said no one was inside the station, where the Marines, Air Force and Navy also recruit.

Witnesses staying at a Marriott hotel four blocks away said they could feel the building shake with the blast.

"I was up on the 44th floor and I could feel it. It was a big bang," said Darla Peck, 25, of Portland, Oregon.

"It shook the building. I thought it could have been thunder, but I looked down and there was a massive plume of smoke so I knew it was an explosion," said Terry Leighton, 48, of London, who was staying on the 21st floor of the Marriot."....

Yikes - are you kidding me?

Serious as a Myocardial Infarction. Most of it is tax, but that was what I saw them going for last time I was in NYC, which was last June.

Thanks for the link. I saw the police stringing crimescene tape from half a world away.

You're in New Jersey?...........

I’m thinking a college-age smelly Code Pinko will be caught. All the cameras in Times Square, the police will have him by weekend.

This is the doing of another liberal terrorist or another Muslim terrorist. No wonder liberals love Islam:

Please let’s not get ridiciulous, OK? The knee jerking around here is more than epidemic anymore. For all his faults, Guiliani hasn’t been mayor of NYS in 6 years. Put the blame where the blame is due: Bloomberg.

[Constitution Day]

Easily the most moronic comment I’ve seen on FR all week.

We should have a leaderboard!

[King of Florida]

Probably some dumb kid with an ash can or an M-80

I thought an ashcan was an M-80, the only difference being the color (silver=ashcan, red=M-80).

“IF it happens to be someone identified as a Code Pinko...would they/should they then be labeled as a terrorist organization?”

Oh...wouldn’t that be great? George Soro’s gives lots of money to the pinkos (at least he use to). It sure would be nice to boot that man out of our country!

[MrB]

90% chance that it’s peaceniks
9% chance that it’s a pro-Islam terrorist
1% chance it’s someone trying to keep the terror issue in the forefront of people’s minds

There’s always that last possibility - NY is a big city.

[mware]

Hmmm, wonder where all those pardoned FALN terrorist are right now????

[RDTF]

I know I’m late to this thread - but wanted to say they reported on GMA this morning that it is similar to at least 2 other bombings recently - one in Mexico City and somewhere else. I think they said thrown from a bicycle to a consulate or embassy

[MrB]

From what I heard this am, it sounded like someone tossed an M-80 from a bicycle.

Used to throw a few of those in my youth.

[unspun]

Nuke them all!
Turn all their sand into glass!
Then waterboard them!
Then drop Ann Coulter all over their sorry *&%*’s!

(Just expressing that in this post, so some of the more flagrant FReepers don’t have to. ;-)

Nancy Pelosi ordered the bombing to protest the war

[MrB]

If the gov’t tried to label the acts of Code Pink as “terrorist”, the ACLU would be all over it, and the left would have something to rally around.

Better to let the Pinkos make fools of themselves (youtube “there’s nothing wrong with communism”) than to make them the victims that every leftist desires to be.

[MrB]

ooooooowwwwwwwch

[Slapshot68]

Let me get this straight...we hate the military because they kill people...so in protest, let’s try to kill them.
