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

First time I have seen or heard Gov. Cuomo. In his presser, he basically says:

Stick your head back in the ground. We have everything under control.

He does not give me much comfort, if I lived in NYC. He will need some Aspercream for his the elbow and shoulder from patting himself and other officials on their backs.

And you’re completely wrong...but thanks for playing.

8 dead....two died on way to hospital

"...stupid comment..."

Stupid comment, indeed.
There are likely going to be double-digit fatalities of innocent cyclists and pedestrians as the result of this vicious attack.
All they can manage is moronic anti-bicycle commentary in the midst of a horrific terrorist attack nearly in the shadow of the former WTC.

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.

Actually it means "Allah is the greatest," but we're not to know that.

I walked right past this area Sunday.

ISIS DID call for attacks on Halloween.....

WTH: It’s okay for truck rental co’s to profile apparently and drop a dime on suspicious customers. But not airlines...?

No redneck is going to spend money to travel and rent a truck to kill a few cyclists in NYC. The person I was replying to was a typical self absorbed, elitist cyclist.

Kelly just refused to answer nationality question. Interesting.

NYC Halloween parade to go on as scheduled tonight.

I guess we don’t have all that many FREEPERS in NYC?

I've lived all but one year of my 60 in NYC. Went to a community college a couple blocks from the incident (Borough of Manhattan Community College).

Just heard on the radio, via press conference: 8 dead, at least 12 injured. Perp 29 years old. No name released yet.

“We just need “sensible” pick-up truck control laws in this country to keep these kind of incidents from ever happening again /snark”

Headline of tomorrow:

“Congress passes legislation requiring all vehicles to be self driving only- Saying- will prevent terrorist vehicle attacks”.

De Blasio is a SCUM BAG..taking photos with Linda Sarsour..in bed with Jihadists

[mewzilla]

Well, I just hit your post to reply to cuz yours was the last in the thread then. No other reason :-)

[Alberta's Child]

A couple of blocks? Look at the photos. The truck ended up near the pedestrian overpass right next to Manhattan Community College!

[mewzilla]

Truck rented in Jersey City, NJ. Very interesting.

[JimSp]

Makes sense! Blessings.
