There's been an apparent (so far) pipe bomb explosion at NYC Port Authority (a SERIOUSLY busy bus terminal in Manhattan) which also has subways bypassing the Times Square subway station (probably the busiest subway station in NYC).

Checking in, I'm safe in Brooklyn and don't commute thru NYCPA.

There's video. Some wannabe suicide bomber (?) blew up. He had a crappy bomb and only he was injured. He's alive and in custody.

Except for the blowing himself up bit, it could be.

Well let's not jump to conclusions before we find the MAGA hat he was obviously wearing.....

No, not really.
I know Japanese Catholics, but it's not the way to bet.

This so reminds me of the apartment explosion in Minneapolis four years ago.

Reports are that the failed suicide bomber in the country legally, he was allowed in with minimal scrutiny because his family was already here.
We got lucky on this one, it was only his sheer incompetence that prevented hundreds from being killed. Of course the NYC response is SWAT cops EVERY FUCKING WHERE, which also gets up my nose but it makes the sheeple "feel safe".
I'm not into conspiracy theories, but part of me wonders who was REALLY behind this. It happens shortly after Trump announces official recognition of Jerusalem as capitol of Israel. It happens in a heavily anti-Trump city (why bother? Why kill a bunch of people who most likely voted for Felonia Von Pantsuit?). People are already saying it's Trump's fault. He's JUST good enough to build something which will hurt him with minimal other damage (the other injuries were ringing ears and headaches). Who taught him to build his bomb?
Is it paranoia if they really ARE out to get you?

My daughter was in NYFC over the weekend. She left yesterday morning. She was unaware of the bombing til she was in Denver. I was concerned for a bit there.
