I remember people in NY were scared when FUBO decided it would be fun to buzz the city in Air Force 1.

I see a spider on TV and suddenly I start feeling something crawling up my leg.

Of course, both times it was Trump’s fault.

Sounds like an old joke, what happens when a Cadillac backfires as it passes by an Italian restaurant? Everyone inside hits the floor!

[A_Former_Democrat]

How about “backfires” after 9/11 and the Times Square Bomber?

Oh yeah, and WTC I in the nineties

It’s not like these are the first mass shootings, Jackass.

BTW how’s NYCs crime?

***Panic in Times Square after motorcycle backfire mistaken for gunshots ​”That’s where we are.*** Remember when NYC went into a panic when OBAMA had Air Force 1 fly low over NYC? "That's where we are."

[Mastador1]

Gosh do yo think any of the responsibility for the panic may fall on democrat socialists and the media for beating the fear drum non stop for just this end?

[I want the USA back]

Anybody, anywhere, hearing what sounds like shots is going to protect himself. That is not panic. There is no lesson to be learned from this. It doesn’t mean that the country is going to hell. It doesn’t mean that Trump is bad.

Everything is political to these people.

[justa-hairyape]

Liar liar. If they did not panic, it would mean they were used to gun shots. All loud bangs sound like gunshots, until you here a lot of gun shots. Dufus.

[Brilliant]

This is what happens when the entire city of NY is afraid of guns.

[pfflier]

"Gov. Cuomo said the panic that erupted in Times Square after a backfiring motorcycle mistaken for gunshots sent people fleeing from the area shows just how they are being conditioned to be “terrified”..."

[Sacajaweau]

9-11 changed the lives of 3 generations. Few of the NYC folks who scampered at Times Square recall that sad day.

Are their reactions founded?? Of course....

My son who lived in NYC on 9-11....said he ducked....for year....when a plane flew nearby.

It was 5 hours before we were able to get in contact with him.

For over 3000 people....there was no contact.

[KosmicKitty]

Just doing what you’ve been telling them to do - Run, Hide, Fight, right?

[ronnie raygun]

Thanks for your two cents douchebag

[Kickass Conservative]

NYC Residents are terrified every time they see a low flying Airplane.

Airplanes should be banned from the skies.

[Boogieman]

“failure to respond with any substantial gun control legislation”

NYC already has “substantial gun control legislation” and the people there are still terrified. So obviously, that isn’t going to help one bit.

[dead]

Stampede!

I was a dumb 12-year-old when WWII ended and a lot of vets came back home. I was walking the neighborhood with some buddies when a car backfired and we saw a guy drop to the ground.

We all laughed at “the stupid guy” and it wasn’t until a few years later when I started talking with some of the vets that I realized what assholes we had been.

The memory still bothers me to this day.
