Manhattan explosion

[Dumb All Over]

Infidels?

It's probably just an American born nutcase

Probably? Probably not.

Anyone sane is hoping for that. Christians can massacre people until the cows come home and no one will do anything about it. But a Muslim sneezes wrong and everyone wants to genocide them.

This

No, not this. The two of you are playing silly buggers.

 

[Travis]

Personally I believe I am sane and am hoping the people who were responsible are found and punished regardless of who they are.

But if it is a Christian you'll* only want to punish the person. If it is a Muslim you'll want to punish every single Muslim or anyone that has ever even picked up a Quran at any point in their life.

Kill 'em all just to be sure.

*figurative "you'll"

CNN: "One of those devices exploded on 23rd Street, but the fact that it was partly under a metal trash container may have diminished the force of the blast."

This says that the bomb wasn't inside the dumpster - it was partially underneath it. Dumpsters have space beneath and roll on wheels.

Your bigotry is disgusting.

I think he's saying that drunk driving should only be a crime if you actually hit someone.

No, no. He's saying that if you try to deliberately run someone over with your car, and miss, it's nothing to be concerned about, legally.

I get the feeling you have the same qualities that you seek to criticize in others. Except it is a different group you demonize.
Is that why you feel others are like that?

 

[angrysoba]

Maybe justifing how it is terror

It sounds like one nut job with masking tape

You should probably read up on terrorists

Start with the IRA

I think the governor of New York already explained that it is terrorism by definition if someone explodes a bomb in a public place.

It doesn't have to be the IRA.

Your bigotry is disgusting.

Yes, the person that doesn't want to murder all Muslims is the bigot.

 

[eeyore1954]

Yes, the person that doesn't want to murder all Muslims is the bigot.

Is that the only requirement that needs to be met to not be a bigot?

 

[ponderingturtle]

Yes, the person that doesn't want to murder all Muslims is the bigot.

What about people who just set fire to them in public?

 

[eeyore1954]

Suspect is in custody luckily for him it was not terrorism.

 

[ponderingturtle]

Suspect is in custody luckily for him it was not terrorism.

He isn't white so it might be. Like how the attack on a black church by a white supremacist is not terrorism but attacking a gay night club by a muslim is.

 

[trustbutverify]

Well it is hardly terror is it?

Of course it's terror.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

Maybe he had the garbage can insured and was trying to commit fraud...

 

[Trebuchet]

Thanks to endless discussion on the news, future bombers will know better than to put their devices in a dumpster! Thanks, Obama.

 

[John Nowak]

Yes, the person that doesn't want to murder all Muslims is the bigot.

Yes, they can be.

Good news, liberals! There is still an aspect of this story that you can turn into a "teachable" moment, even though (regrettably) the bomber did not turn out to be a white Christian:

The prime suspect in the New York and New Jersey bombings sued his local police force and claimed they were persecuting him for being a Muslim.

Ahmad Rahami said in a lawsuit that cops in Elizabeth, New Jersey subjected his and his family to discrimination and 'selective enforcement' based on their religion.

You can lecture us intolerant conservatives on how the evil police turned this man into a terrorist! Why, it ties right in with the Black Lives Matter movement; just change the name to Black and/or Muslim Lives Matter.

BM's Matter?

 

[Dumb All Over]

As I get older, BM's matter more and more.
