So full of shite.

Would you like to know how many attacks like this are done by muslims vs the rest of the population?

Isn't renting a truck and mowing down civilians something out of the ISIS publications?


Definitely, but if that were the case, there are much better targets all over Manhattan, many of which have little to no police presence. Think about the damage you could do rolling a big arse truck down 5th Ave or one of those old narrow streets just east of 9/11. This area is not as heavily foot-trafficked as other parts of the city. The European attacks with trucks always hit highly visible/symbolic, heavily-trafficked areas with loads of pedestrians (London Bridge, the Promenade on Bastille Day in Nice, La Rambla in Barca, etc.).

Always possible, but that doesn't make sense to me in this case.

Bent bike, and one of the dead. Looks more like a vehicle attack than a shooting

Someone said it was near the 9/11 site. Last time I was there, lots of police presence in that area

Witness Frank Brito, 45, told the News he saw two trucks crash into each other and then a heavy set man get out of one in a blue tracksuit and chase someone, firing five or six times.

Mayor says no active threat. Possible road rage

This was a terrorist. Who drves a truck down a bike lane and then exits the crashed vehicle with 2 Automatic Rifles and then opens fire on bystanders. Cause of road rage?

I mean, I always have at least 2 automatic rifles in my truck just in case someone doesn't give me the thank-you wave in the rear view mirror after I let them through.

Fake weapon on the perp per Shep Smith. The gunfire was from the cops.
