My worthless two zinc cents contribution to the conversation...
Just odd (in a tinfoil hat kinda way that makes me laugh on the inside)...the New York Post (NYP) storyline is time stamped 7:44 am, but the incident occurred just four minutes earlier at 7:40am? Really?
Oh wait...there is yet another NYP article (
https://nypost.com/2017/12/11/suicide-bombing-suspect-was-a-cab-driver-bent-on-revenge-cops/) that states the incident occurred at 7:20am...so, let juts keep it at 7 "something" it happened, and very shortly thereafter the NYP had all the details.
In just minutes they knew his name, purported nation of origin, and confirmed that he was an ISIS sympathizer? Really? YES...the NYP is that good!
Less than an hour after the incident at around 8:22am,
"Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the man was inspired by ISIS and possibly born in Bangladesh. Bratton, who said the man had been living in the US for seven years, “was supposedly setting the device off in the name of ISIS.” “So, definitely a terrorist attack, definitely intended,” Bratton said.
This was on live TV about an hour after the incident...was Bratton pre-positioned for this scoop?
Damn, NYPD is really, really on the ball getting all this out so fast...and of course the FBI and DHS are rolled into it..."
We can't continue with laissez-faire attitude..." (on Fox news earlier)
. Curious as to what that statement from Former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom really implies...he is getting spoon fed talking points by someone.
A 5 inch long pipe bomb? Did that include the end caps? 5 inches? Really? Says he worked at an electrical company...did he use "standard" electrical conduit or 5 inch "industrial" diameter...damn, how much explosive anything can you jam into 5 inches of standard conduit (let me think...maybe, probably about 1/4 the amount of C4 in a claymore is how much, still enough for a really good bang)...must have been 5 inch diameter, right, especially if you want to kill more than just yourself? Just dumb...wonder if it was composite conduit...even dumber...just things that make one wonder out loud...anyways, ramble on...
But what concerns me the most this morning is how quickly, and I mean from the start, every talking head in front of a camera was spouting the need for more security and surveillance...
