I hope all of my fellow NY posters are alright. This is strange.

Hmm ... strange.

Let's see what the investigation turns up.

Does any of this have to do with what happened with in New Jersey, Calgary, and St Cloud? Also doesn't Chelsea Clinton have an apartment near by?

We don't know. And Chelsea Clinton lives in Tribeca. This was in the neighborhood of Chelsea, although it could be considered part of the Flatiron district; it's in a sort of in-between zone. I walked past the place just this Thursday!

Yeah, we wait for more information.....unless the current information fits a narrative, then we run with it!  Like every time a black guy gets shot by the cops.

This NY attack may be linked to the NJ and MN terrorist threats. If that's the case, 3 attacks on one day=Saturday, September 17th, it does not look good for Barack Obama's administration.

I seriously doubt there's a link between NY/NJ and Minnesota, especially as there's such a difference in tactics.

NY/NJ being linked seems very likely, though, and the choice of targets makes me unsure it's ISIS-linked.

Anarchists.

The choice of the Veterans' parade and a neighborhood of NY that gets a lot of hate for being "gentrified" tilts me towards that, as opposed to ISIS, whose choice of targets seems to be "wherever we can kill the most people in the most horrific way possible".

Anti-Government people? The moral of the story could South Parkian. We shouldn't be Islamophobic because they are just one puppy in LBP's basket of deplorables.

Not anti-government in the traditional sense, like the Bundys et al. More akin to the Occupy-affiliated goons who tried to blow up the bridges in the midwest. We'll see, though.

There is 0 evidence linking the events in New York and those in St. Cloud, and actually quite a bit pointing towards there being no link at all.

The only link I can imagine is that the MN suspect heard the news about the NJ explosion and triggered him to act. He probably, like the perpetrator in New York, probably had no contact whatsoever with any ISIS members at all. Like I said, both events are basically Orlando but without the carnage.

Thankfully this moron was incompetent or this could've been a hell of a lot worse. His twisted ideology is a cancer on common sense.

This guy was pretty slow. This does blur the line between terrorism and violent hate crime, though.

At least the Left in this country had 24 hours where they could go "well, we don't know who did it yet! It could be anything".   Small victories, right?
