"Gas canister"

Well that certainly is specifically vague enough. Why do I get the feeling these are just paint ball tanks?

Unless the Bomb Squad has beaten somebody down, I am confused as to why you would post this.

Thank you for finally posting this. I was giving updates on Kristins’ thread about the Times Square attack. Didn’t know how to post a thread of my own.

My first thought was oxygen canisters but I think they are all green. SHould be easily recognizable even from a distance.

Notifying transit, all sectors in area. Could be a local bum from Union Sq Park. Lots of them there.

They always are looking for a white guy and it seldom is.

“Why do I get the feeling these are just paint ball tanks?”

I don’t know why you “feel” that either since paint ball tanks don’t contain gas. They are fired with gas, CO2. I think this is important breaking news, BTW.

The original call came in at 10.17pm. “Walter” was seen walking near area 45 minutes ago, so he just might have info. The way they describe him, it sounds like a local homeless guy in the park.

Of course it's a white guy, probably with a confederate flag tatoo and a bald head.

It's never a dark skinned guy from the middle east with his butt in the air 5 times a day.

He was on the other thread criticizing Kristin too...
I live in NY and I know the area well. If this is a real deal, location is an icon.

WALTER has been located... Yeah! I think he said “suspect”. Not sure, cut off.
