buenosdiaz Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 did search..didnt work surprised this isnt a thread... http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/06/police-investigate-explosion-in-times-square/index.html?hp Latest Update, 9:12 a.m. | The New York City police issued a statement at 7:33 a.m. describing the source of the explosion as an “improvised explosive device” and putting the time of the blast at 3:43 a.m. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg was scheduled to give a briefing at the scene at 8:45 a.m., but is running late. The authorities are looking into a possible connection to two earlier bombings at foreign consulates in Manhattan, in 2005 and 2007. An F.B.I. official said that in today’s attack, a man in a gray hooded sweatshirt was seen leaving the scene on a bicycle. Subways and traffic are running normally through Times Square.

Mad Mike Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 How much do you want to bet that this turns out to be the work of some left wing nutjob who thinks he is striking back at "fascist" america? :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjah Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Wait a sec -- I thought we had already taken out Saddam and his minions of terror. Seriously, it's good to hear that there were no injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Nice to hear that nobody got hurt. I truly hope that whatever member(s) of Code Pink, or whatever other domestic terrorist group set this thing off gets caught and gets the punishment they deserve.

GibbsFactor Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 It's amazing no one got hurt at that time on a NY city sidewalk. Glad no one got hurt. I don't think it's getting much coverage because of the size of the explosion, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 The reason it isn't getting more play is because there are no injuries and there wasn't even any major damage. Nobody's bleeding. Nothing's burning or falling down. Therefore it's not "REAL" news in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paige3girl Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 It's amazing no one got hurt at that time on a NY city sidewalk. it was at three in the morning I think -- even times square is relatively quiet then. If it were a foreign terrorist it would have been a much more populated time I would think which leads me to agree that it is some nutjob trying to make a point, poorly.

I think it's pretty obvious that this was some wacko nutjob who doesn't like the military for whatever reason. Hopefully the FBI, BATFE, and NYPD will catch this SOB and then they can hang the worthless bag of flesh in the middle of Times Square as a message to others of their ilk.

paige3girl Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 they were saying on the news this morning that the area is filled with CCTV so my guess is that they are examing that tape and will have the person quickly. That being the reason you have not heard much because they don't want to jepardize a chance for a quit arrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass_SkinsFan Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Always that extra step Mass. Always that little extra.... That extra step, known as PUNISHMENT, is much of what's missing in our Legal System these days. I know people will say that it's not a deterent, but I've NEVER found a person who was executed for committing a Felony who has EVER committed another crime after the sentence was carried out.

mjah Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 What are you guys going to say if the bomber turns out to be an ex-Army guy with a screw loose? "He was a closet left-wing nutcase the entire time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 What are you guys going to say if the bomber turns out to be an ex-Army guy with a screw loose? "Hanged by the neck until dead." That's what I'd say, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hopefully, this is A) an isolated event and resolved quickly by the authorities. I don't think we should ever allow ourselves to politicize bombings or use it to beat up on our fellow Americans. Thankfully, this one was largely ineffective.

Air Force Cane Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 You think much too highly of yourself. I really don't give a @#$ who did it. Bringing out the truth regarding Obama the False Messiah is a heck of a lot more important, something which has much more significance than some punk who tried to make a political point on a bike in Times Square. But don't worry- you will have plenty of time after November to ponder how Barack managed to lose the White House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 or C) just a prank by a kid that wanted to play with his pipe bomb If it is C. I think we need to set MSF on this kid and get his head on a pike. Unforgiveable prank. Fine, if it was a terrorist, we can let MSF have at him too. I just hope he doesnt' need a large inventory of Pikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
