Breaking: small explosive device thrown at military recruiting office in Times Square, New York City.

” I’m thinking a college-age smelly Code Pinko will be caught. “

If so, then the Media Coverage will take the form of “This was a legitimate (ie leftist) protest (ie criminal act) by a patriotic (ie, again, leftist) hero (ie criminal), and is therefore not subject to prosecution.”

[MizSterious]

"Actually, some action like this may turn out to be a good thing in the long run. Let’s those who hate the military start this nonsense. It will get them all labeled as terrorists."

Yes, it might. My thought, when hearing this, was that they've jumped the gun in expectation of a 'Rat win this year. I hope this costs them dearly.

But, Ruby Julie-Annie made the city so safe... How could this be?

Did you get up extra early or stay up all night imbibing to produce that asinine comment?

[Brilliant]

Looks like the peaceniks are getting violent.

Did anyone ever doubt that they were in league with the terrorists?

[concretebob]

Just the non-violent peaceful left wing with a handful of Pla-Doe.
Hope they got good pictures.

Thanks for the PING JJ.
Good Morning ;)

The 3:45 a.m. blast is similar to two other incidents in New York, one in October and one in May 2005.

Both times an explosive device was detonated around 3 a.m.

In the October incident, a bomb was detonated near the Mexican consulate, shattering windows. At that time the authorities said the explosive device was similar to the ones used in a May 2005 blast at the British consulate.

In both cases, authorities were looking for a person spotted riding a bicycle in the area.

Just wait ‘til the Democrat convention. It’s going to be an absolute zoo, with lunatics, terrorists and all the other liberals.

“Probably some dumb kid with an ash can or an M-80. This kinda stuff would never be “internationally breaking news” 20 or 30 years ago.”

That’s what I was thinking. Some teenage vandal cherry-bombs a mailbox nowadays and you get hysterics from the media, the FBI, BATFE, local cops are running around making dire pronouncements, the NSA re-directs a satellite to monitor the situation and the mayor and governor go on TV to request more Homeland Security funds. I wanna go back to the 50’s.

The cancer spreads.

BOYCOTT BERKELEY PING list.

FReepmail me to be on or off this list.

Fox News radio said it shattered windows. Could be felt on the 44th floor of the Mariott. I think its more serious than just a prank.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yeah, when, back in the day, if you got caught, about the worst was you got one helluva beating from Dad with a belt for getting in trouble. Then, after a day or two with the swelling down, might be thinking where the next cherry bombs or M-80s would go. None of this BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS!, helicopters and lock down stuff in our 24/7 hyperhysteric news cycle these days.

BTTT

The military ought to set up a temporary recruiting office adjacent to the Dim convention venue. That would be really telling.

[penelopesire]

Thanks for the ping. If it is the same people, I am not sure why anti-war nutters would involve the Mexican Consolute. Very Interesting. On the other hand, if it were AQ ,etc. they would do it at 8:00am in morning when lots of people were milling around.

“Just wait ‘til the Democrat convention. It’s going to be an absolute zoo, with lunatics, terrorists and all the other liberals.”

There won’t be any ‘terrorists’ at the convention. The Democrats are Al Qaeda’s only allies in the WOT!

LOL

Presser coming up. Soldier seen going into center while they are using the center as a back drop for press presser coverage.

Pssst, don't look now but your ignorance is showing.

[Miss Didi]

This occurred in New York, Hillary’s state. She should have a microphone shoved in her face and forced to respond.

Mrs. Clinton, our senator, was last seen strolling in the park with her hubby plotting their next strategery:

If that picture in post 26 is the recruiting office then it was not an m-80 that my brother would use to blow up my Barbie dolls with as a kid, nor would it shake a near by building so that someone on the 44th floor would feel it.
