New York bombings

[M.C]

Surprised there's no topic yet. Just wondering about the New York bombings, and how it seems to have been politically managed from the start. It turns out (shock horror) they're after an Afghani' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37409441 and that's following the Somali who went all stabby stabby in Minnesota https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/minnesota-mall-stabbing-could-represent-the-realisation-of-us-terror-fears-a7316211.html

Just seems like they're trying very hard not to play into the hands of Trump. I understand Merkel trying to avoid any links with IS/terrorist groups (IS have claimed responsibility for the Minnesota attack), it just seems strange they would do the same in the US.

I guess I was thinking along the lines of it's not like the incumbent government invited over a million refugees like the Germans did. But then I just thought who they're backing (Hilary obviously) and it makes sense.

Its a good job we live in democracies with freedom of the press, or you could misconstrue stuff like this

It's barely even remarkable any more. Like Taqiyya Khan just assplained to the Septics, this is business as usual now.

They got him, and seem to be finally admitting that bombs going off sounds a little like terrorism

I was expecting something a little more dramatic. Pretty sure that with a few Chinese fireworks and Mums old pressure cooker I could make a pretty big bang. Its all a far cry from orchestrating the take over of four planes and flying them into national landmarks.
Don't those that run these shows realise that unless there's another 9/11 it makes that spectacular look less and less likely to have been organised by Al Keida / ISIS? Is this is the best the 'terrorists' can offer to break our will?

It's a recurring topic with the same outcome MC so maybe people are tired of it?

As to the 911 ref, see the other thread

It's the first terrorist attack/bombing in New York since 9/11, so I thought it was news worthy. What a sad state of affairs if bombs going off becomes normal (obviously it's in Iraq but no one cares ).

The bomb that went off on 23rd street was in the same location as a bomb going off in a computer game not 2 months earlier.

Does gaming then influence nutters to do such stuff? (probably)

Does this also mean that all computer users support people inspired to commit atrocities by games?

Yep it's a terror attack, performed by a muppet with a serious mental health problem who also believes in a sky fairy and probably in the sexual prowess of the inexperienced. IMO we should run him through an unwashed bacon slicer and move on with life.

A second New York bomb is believed to have been disabled when petty thieves stole the suitcase it was left in.

Manhattan was rocked by an explosion on Saturday which injured 29 people – but police believe another bomb was intended to go off in the busy city.

It failed to detonate after criminals dumped the explosives in a rubbish bag so they could walk off with the suitcase it was left in, local newspaper DNA reported.

It was a case of ‘Leave the bomb, take the bag,’ the newspaper said.
