That's not how it usually plays out.
A left-wing extremist is generally given a pass because they gave us a 'teachable moment'.
New York City Police Commissioner James O’Neill is obviously a democrat who is looking for this to have a maximum impact in garnering sympathy for democrats.
It is OK to treat them as the real deal until it is determined that they are entirely fake. Then it is not OK to treat them as the real deal anymore. It is not OK to lie about what they are because that erodes trust in police officials.
They’re all duds until one is not.
Question:
Why wasn’t the mass shooting of Republican lawmen called terrorism? The gun was even real and one man was nearly murdered.
Is it terrorism depending on which party is targeted?
“The crude bombs posted to the liberal elite lacked a ‘triggering mechanism’ suggesting they were never meant to explode, experts who have seen photos of the devices claim...Officials told the AP that the devices were not rigged like a booby-trapped package bomb that would explode upon opening. They had timers and batteries but never went off.”
Simple safety.
Assume nothing.
You don't want to be the guy who says, "Hey look at the cute fake bomb!" before it blows up in your face.
That’s why they kept taking pictures of them without disarming them.
Good olde Commie Morgan at Th. Shill peddle the latest DNC soin .
Morgan is a great Dem pr agent at the Shill .
We just mail them a few fake bombs and..
...they'll destroy each other.
That’s why they just handed hem over to CNN...
De Blasio there was no violence at all. Not one injury. Not one explosion. Fake. Fake. Fake.
ROTFL. All the “experts” must have retired.
They have to treat them all as real even if suspected of being fake, just as any kid who says “I could just die, I wish I was dead” has to be sent in for psych evaluation - just in case.
Fake news.
Fake bombs.
Yeah. Similar to Bruce Jenner getting treated like a woman but we all know he’s male.
I've decided that the proper parsing of this statement means that "authorities" are not hiding behind steel barriers as they analyze the bombs, they are devoting manpower and preparing charges as if these were "live devices."
It's like charging someone with attempted murder when they used a toy gun, because the target (and police) didn't know it was a toy gun at the time.
The MSM is obviously playing this phrase up as the "authorities" still believe that "live devices" are out there, meaning that some wild conservative wacko is still a danger to liberals. We know that was never the case, and the MSM knows that, too, but they have a statement from an "authority" that they can twist to extend their narrative for another few days.
