New York City will deploy sand-filled trucks and thousands of police officers as part of a plan to protect revelers at this years New Years Eve celebrations in Times Square, mindful of two deadly truck attacks in Europe this year.
As many as 2 million people are expected to gather on Saturday to welcome the new year, and authorities said on Thursday they were aware of no credible threat to the annual festivities at the famed Manhattan crossroads.
Even so, officials have redoubled efforts to prevent attacks like those in Germany and France this year in which suspected Islamic militants intentionally drove trucks into holiday crowds, killing dozens of civilians.

That just about says it all. Before all this middle eastern BS and Obama and Bush importing 2 million moslems, we didn’t have to surround New Years eve in Times Square with garbage trucks.
Thanks A-holes. This is exactly why Trump won.

I say let’s just seal off NYC with hundreds of trucks permanently, and be done with it.

Well, after all, our presidents for the last 28 years have been committed to multicultural diversity at all costs. Living under siege is one of those costs. But, it’s worth it, according to liberals.

Start with empty trucks and fill them with illegals - give them a choice of being dumped in the river or at a landfill. Repeat as necessary.

Manhattan is an incredible place. The politics suck but I LOVED working in the WTC, the Financial Center, Rockefeller Plaza very much.
The theater, the opera, the museums, the bars :), the restaurants, Little Italy and lots more make it great.
The liberals are idiots and they are prolific, but that doesn’t make Manhattan any less great. :)
But I always got to go back to Staten Island every night!

Sealing in a large crowd with sand filled trucks... Sounds like a recipe for disaster or from a terrorist's perspective - a new opportunity.
This needs to be well thought out or the prescription could be worse than the ailment.

You said it. Being a kid in the 70s and 80s was sweet.
At least with the old Soviet Union they were considered relatively sane.
We had M.A.D. as a deterrent to keep everyone reasonable.

Very well said. It's all so insane - I don't even recognize our country anymore most of the time.
President Trump has a LOT of work to do, undoing all of the damage from past idiotic administrations.

In London - where 100,000 tickets have been sold to watch the fireworks - more armed officers will be deployed and concrete barriers will be in use. There will also be more places around the city where vehicles will be banned.
