A powerful explosion caused by what authorities say was a homemade bomb set off in a sidewalk dumpster on 23rd Street (between 6h and 7th Ave.) at 8:30pm on Saturday night, injured at least 29 people; a second explosive device was also found four blocks away. The explosion, which occurred around 8:30 p.m., prompted the shutdown of a wide swath of Manhattan south of Midtown. The Police Department said at 1:15 a.m. Sunday that 14th Street to 32nd Street was closed to traffic between Fifth and Eighth Avenues until further notice.

Alas, a gun is no protection against IEDs and (most) other possible acts of terrorism and sabotage.

No group has claimed credit for this explosion.

None have claimed credit for the explosion in New Jersey near a planned Marine Corps race

However, ISIS has claimed credit for the "stabbing rampage" in Milwaukee that injured 8.

I think it's time you disabused yourself of that pleasant little fairy tale about our fearless leaders being some sort of surrogate daddy or mommy, laying awake at night thinking about how to protect the kids. HA! In reality, they're thinking about who to sell them to so that they can get a few more shekels in their pockets.

In the waning months of his regime, Obamination is finally reaping the rewards of all his efforts to bring Islamo-fascist Extremist Jihad to America's streets.
While "Allah u Akbar" is chanted by all Obamabots, and other Libtards.

They're JUST BOMBS! JEEBUZ! Did anyone say jihad? Allah?

NO?

Then it's business as usual and crazy fun from the streets of that wild and crazy NYC!




Let me just point out that the author left out vital relevant facts in the opinion piece. Doing that is known as cherry-picking. And whether you do that in the news, in discussion, in debate or in opinion, when you distort the facts, you've changed the nature of your communication into propaganda. But WE don't have any of THAT in the US, do we?!

The NY Daily News has put on line what may be the bombers "manifesto." The bomber claims to be gay. The NYPD is vetting it.

Somehow I doubt it, gay people usually hurt themselves, not others. Not that it can't happen...
