While police didn’t specifically blame any group for the strike, President Donald Trump railed against the Islamic State and declared “enough!” and “NOT IN THE U.S.A.!”
What a coincidence. I say that every day about Trump’s presidency.
I’m sure madman-in-the-marketplace terrorists really do exist, but this just seems too weird to be spontaneous jihad stuff. Seriously, a day after two Russian-Trump related arrests we get a paintball gun and an English language confession? I think it’s possible that Putin had a hand in this, to get his satellite north american territory back on the right track
I would love to hear from someone like Robert Baer who spent his career with Arab fringe groups if this NYC attack has any authenticity to it
As a cyclist, the photo at the top of this story of mangled bikes is particularly cringe-inducing. And, dancing waaay out on a limb here, leads me to wonder if this guy actually had a particular animus against cyclists. Uzbekistan has a strong national cycling team and has sent a number of guys into the pro ranks over the last quarter century. Is there somewhere in his personal story a festering resentment that with an added bit of jihadi lunacy led him to snap in this gruesome manner? Why not just drive into a Times Square crowd, or any random packed sidewalk in NYC?
Where did you get that there was an “English language confession” from?
The article states:
The note inside the truck was handwritten in a foreign language, according to one of the two law enforcement officials who spoke about the document.
I could see Deflection Donnie doing a fist pump and cheering when he heard the news of the NYC attack.
Whew, that’s a relief, no more Russia in the news!
If those guns had been real, you could add another dozen to the casualty list. Good on NYC for that. (Given the fake guns, I’m also wondering whether this wasn’t at least partially about suicide-by-cop.)
Listen, obviously this was an attack by the state of President Islam!
Obviously this attack was not inspired by ISIS as President Trump had a secret plan to eliminate them in 30 days and we’re in like day 280 or something. Stupid libtards.
Trump: “enough!” and “NOT IN THE U.S.A.!”
ISIS: We are so very frightened.
According to CNN, law enforcement sources found one note written in English inside the vehicle.
The story has been updated and no longer says it was in English but originally it did.
