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

[Sarah Barracuda]

Just yesterday Dem in Virginia had an Ad depicting Republicans mowing down minorities and today you have a Jihadist mowing down innocent people in NY

[Veto!]

DiBlasio on now, says it was An Act of Terrorism, 8 dead.

CNN

Interviews Senator Blumenthal (D-CT), who made a couple of interesting remarks:

1. He said that Congress has received a significant increase in security warnings regarding ISIS, who are moving into Africa and into this country.

2. We need to increase our security concerns.

[Veto!]

DiBlasio just said on camera that it was an act of terror.

[glenduh]

Deblasio on wabc admits it was an act of terror. 8 dead. Over dozen injured.

[mewzilla]

DeBlasio called it a "particularly cowardly" act of terror. That's verbatim.

And I'd like to freaking know just what in HADES he meant by that.

[Vermont Lt]

The US is sending more and more troops to Africa.

We need another authorization for use of force. Don’t let them kid you, we are in Africa to secure resources from China. Don’t buy the ISIS crap.

[JimSp]

Oh get over yourself. Rednecks despise bicyclists for some very good reasons, all of which stem from the cyclists self centered approach to the road. Stop and use some logic. How many rednecks are there in NYC? Quit being so self centered.

[ColdOne]

I hope he did come from the travel ban list. Yet that would just go down the rabbit hole.

[VanShuyten]

Don Cuomo called it a lone wolf attack.

[ladyjane]

Yeah - I hear there are a lot of rednecks in Seattle running down cyclists.

[indthkr]

"No doubt it was a fully automatic truck."

I'm sure that it was. That's why we can no longer allow civilians to have access to automatic pick-up trucks with high capacity gas tanks.

All new pick-up trucks must be limited to 2 gallon gas tanks.

[Veto!]

Dem in Virginia had an Ad depicting Republicans mowing down minorities

Oh dear God, what low-lifes Dems are. Can you possibly imagine a Republican running an ad like that?

DiBlasio is calling this a lone wolf terrorist attack. 8 dead.

[JimSp]

I think you’re responding to a leftist. At least their self centered, logic free thought processes would indicate so.

[Steely Tom]

And I'd like to freaking know just what in HADES he meant by that.

He wants to set this one apart from those courageous terror attacks.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

And standard transmissions! No automatics allowed without a special tax stamp and training.

[Veto!]

Watching CBS feed on the scene, announcer/reporter said the truck VEERED OFF the bike path and struck the school bus.

Intentionally targeted children.

[mewzilla]

Perp per presser a 29 year old male. Earlier report on FNC had the per being from FL. No mention of where the perp is from at the presser so far.

[Brown Deer]

Mayor de Blasio was briefed on the situation and confirmed there was no active threat.

At least eight people were killed Tuesday afternoon when a speeding Home Depot truck plowed down riders on a Lower Manhattan bike path in a terrorist attack, sources said.

Eyewitnesses told police the driver yelled “Allahu Akbar!” — Arabic for “God is great!” — after running down helpless riders from behind, their mangled bodies left scattered behind his runaway rental truck.

[NEMDF]

WHAT? What do you think a “redneck” is?

I would guess that a majority of FReepers consider themselves to be “rednecks”.
