When you ensnare yourself in the Middle-East and permit them to immigrate, why WOULDN’T this type of thing happen..?

the VBIED thing is Middle-Eastern and now it is HERE.

Now they’re all hot for an expensive war with Iran.

They’ve been murdering each other forever there, we should let them sort their own problems out.

Allentown has quarterly gun shows.

I wonder if this was some kind of leftist protest against that?

Just heard an eyewitness (earwitness?) a few minutes ago on Good Morning America say she heard three explosions. Maybe one of them is the gas tank like in the movies; I forget if that’s been declared movie BS or not.

There's also an Allentown, NJ (near exit 7A of the Turnpike) and an Allentown, MD (near Joint Base Andrews and Rosecroft Raceway).

And MD also has a Bethlehem and an Easton (a few miles apart on the Eastern Shore).

Multiple witnesses said there appeared to be more than one person in the car when it exploded

If this is true I agree with you.

It is unlikely that Jihadist would send two Jihadis on the same suicide bomb attack.

Premature detonation is likely here.

With luck the bomb maker was in the car.

“Maybe one of them is the gas tank like in the movies”

Or like when NBC was trying to “prove” Chevy Pickup gas tanks were in a bad location in the vehicle by helping the tank to ignite in a fake collision with some explosives.

Chevy Pickup gas tanks were in a bad location

Does not make any difference!

If you try to run that E85 crap, it will puke big time.

Saddle tanks or not.

Special Agents currently comprise around 2,400 of the Agency’s approximately 5,000 personnel.

Not exactly Texas Ranger types?
One riot, one Ranger. A hundred and fifty of them for all of Texas.

“Chevy Pickup gas tanks were in a bad location”

And remember before they went under the vehichle, ALL pickups had the tanks right behind the seat. The filler necks were right by the driver’s door handle. Then there was the Pinto where the gas tank top WAS the floor of the trunk. And no one wanted to say that the Mustangs were built exactly the same way. We had a ‘65 Mustang and when you picked up the trunk mat, there was the tank.

"Where does it say anything about Syrians or Lebanese?" "...or Christians?"

If you're gonna be picky...be thoroughly picky.

Then, there were the homemade mini-bikes and go-carts (loved those Briggs & Stratton 5hp upright engines). We’re lucky we survived.

Should we call ourselves “survivors”?
