I already like the attitude of the guy who reported it in the first place. He just seems irritated with the media.
With good reason.
Anyway, I think one of the reasons we can be pretty sure it was Islamics is that there is no description of the person who was seen running away from the car. If it had been a white male - or even female - I’m sure it would be all over the place and the person’s photo, which they must have from one of the many security cameras they have in Times Square, would be on every news station.
