Times Square Block Shut Down

By SEAN GARDINER and R.M. SCHNEIDERMAN

NYPD closed off streets from 42nd to 47th along Broadway in New York City. Police shut down a block in the heart of Times Square Saturday night after receiving a call about a suspicious car fire, delaying some Broadway shows by more than an hour.

The call came in just after 6:30 and as of 9 p.m., 45th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues had not been opened. When police initially responded, they saw smoke coming out of the car but no fire.

Dustin Drankoski for the Wall Street Journal NYPD closed off streets from 42nd to 47th along Broadway in New York City. Police said a bomb squad investigation was on the scene and that the car on fire was a sport utility vehicle had license plates that didn't match the make of the car, raising suspicions.

On one of the theater district's busiest nights, some shows, including "The Lion King," were delayed by an hour or more, according to the Broadway World website.

Oprah Winfrey was in attendance of the new hit "Fela," being shown at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on West 49th Street, and the production began on time and wasn't interrupted.

As a Baptist, that is funny! I don’t care who you are! ;)

Might have been targeting Comedy Central offices at 1515 Broadway, not the Lion King. Muslim payback for South Park...

August, 2003: Ward Churchill Caught On Tape Advocating Terrorism [vs Fellow Americans]

Audio link at Michell Malkin's website (included below)

Question from audience:
You mentioned a little bit ago, "Why did it take a bunch of Arabs to do what you all should have done a long time ago," that's my question.

Churchill: I'm gonna repeat that, tell me if I got that right: Why shouldn't we do something and how do you you move so they don't see you coming.

As to the first part, not a reason in the world that I could see. I can't find a single reason that you shouldn't in a principled way —there may be some practical considerations, such as do you know how (laughter from audience)

—you know, often these things are processes. It's not just an impulse. And certainly it's not just an event.

And the simple answer, although it probably should be more complicated, but I'm not being flip and giving the simple answer, is:
You carry the weapon. That's how they don't see it coming. You're the one...

They talk about "color blind or blind to your color." You said it yourself.

You don't send the Black Liberation Army into Wall Street to conduct an action.

You don't send the American Indian Movement into downtown Seattle to conduct an action.

Who do you send? You. Your beard shaved, your hair cut close, and wearing a banker's suit.

There's probably a whole lot more to it, you know that. But there's where you start. .."

more...

New York’s Times Square is empty of tourists after police and fire personnel closed off parts of the area May 1, 2010. The dark-colored sports utility vehicle which triggered the evacuation of Times Square on Saturday night was found to contain explosives, gasoline, propane and burned wires, a New York Fire Department officer told Reuters.

MSNBC is covering it. The reporter on the ground said people have been pushed further back as the FBI, Police, and Bomb Squad arrived. He also said that 95% of people on the ground either don’t know what is going on or are not taking it seriously.

New information is that the robot is now going through various parts of the car. One thing removed was a metal box that they feared might contain something, but there was nothing in there.

Oh God. I am filled with hate for him and his administration and for all the democrats too, and I hate them all the more for making me HATE. Understand?

[Army Air Corps]

One can hope. An old friend of mine lives in NYC and she is one of those liberal idiots.

Well, the 3G iPads came out yesterday. It was possible one of the Apple Haters became unhinged as a result. =)

Guess we’ll never know why they suspected a secondary bomb, or where.

There is an Army Recruiting Center right close.

toddstarnes Good Lord! The suspicious SUV was parked in front of the theatre housing THE LION KING.

[yield 2 the right]

This must front and center and all those are caught and what exactly happened is not swept under the rug so to speak. First a big boom of a Gulf Oil Rig(with deaths and no bodies found IIRC),and now a massive spill, less than 10-12 days gao and now this?
Pray for the USA!

GOOD! (((Doogle)))

Whoah... 1515 Broadway is very very close to the location of the vehicle.
