Apparently, an active shooter and perhaps a truck attack going on NOW in lower Manhattan....

[Hot Tabasco]

I was riding in South Dakota about 20 years ago and was getting “The Look” from the local rednecks

Look, I'm going to cut straight to the chase here. Even tho I'm from the north, Michigan, I don't like the term "Red Neck" used in a derogatory sense as you have done unless it applies to a southern Democrat.........

That's all I'm going to say about that..........

[Spiridon]

BBC has BREAKING NEWS in lower part of their screen about shooting in Lower Manhattan.....

[Jrabbit]

Stupid comment

[Gideon7]

The vid matches the description of a thin guy in a track suit. He also has what looks like a long Arab-style beard.

de Blasio office saying it could be dispute over a truck. With the city Halloween parade set to start in a few hours and the NYC marathon on Sunday, de Blasio has a pecuniary interest in minimizing what happened. Follow the money.

A report on FNC earlier said the peep is not an import. FWIW. If the perp is a citizen, I’m wondering about his parents.

[PigRigger]

Well... it looks like Hallohadi...

God help us... for ignoring reality... they tell us they want us dead... they kill us... but we act as if it isn’t real.

[ohioman]

Jesus. You live in KY. Many fine people in the South do not consider Redneck a bad term.

And shouting “Allah akbar” yea right, just a drunk trying to save a few bucks. CAIR spokesperson?

[tuffydoodle]

No dude, we have rednecks and tight panty wearing bicyclists here in Texas, too. Hard to believe, I know. But true. You can see their big guns in that spandex, too.

Dumba$$ post of the day. Fyi, I have to pay gas taxes to maintain roads and license/registration $ to have my vehicle legal on the road. Do the a$$hole cyclists pay the same fees for their traffic clogging bikes?

• The driver then reportedly got out of the Home Depot truck with a gun in his hand and was shot by police
• The suspect survived and is in hospital but it remains unclear how many he injured in his path of destruction
• He had rented the truck from Home Depot which said it was cooperating with authorities after the attack

You won’t get any names for the killer until authorities have time to get all his social media posts pulled. Don’t want any info out there that will get in the way of the official story.

[Kickass Conservative]

The guy only spent $19 to pull this off.

Close the Rental Truck Loophole now!

UK Daily Mail:

The man then emerged with imitation guns in his hand and was shot in the leg by police. He survived and was taken to hospital but at least six innocent people were killed and others are injured.

The FBI and NYPD are now treating the incident as an act of terror.

We can help.”

I need to be more careful in my use of “urban dictionary” type words.

I'm pretty sure your urban dictionary defines rednecks the way most people understand the term.

You threw out some real flame bait there.

Have the media made this announcement yet?
