The mayor was inside the residence at the time, the police department said later Saturday
The NYPD’s Bomb Squad confirmed that the devices thrown in the direction of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home were both viable IEDs.
The incident is now under investigation by both the NYPD and the FBI. In total, two devices were thrown during the protests on Saturday afternoon on Manhattan’s swanky Upper East Side.
On Sunday, police spokesperson Jessica Tisch said that the “preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb.”
“It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death,” Tisch added.
Timothy McVeigh did the OK city bombing, and he was a registered republican.
Uh, he also was obsessed with “The Turner Diaries”, which is a neonazi novel.
If that one was OK, I’d hate to see a really bad city bombing.
Can’t tell if joke or doesn’t know OK stands for Oklahoma in state abbreviations.
Yeah, my bad. I looked it up immediately after posting this comment and found my folly. Thought I deleted the comment, but since it has replies I’m going to leave it as is, as to not confuse anyone coming across this in the future.
You can edit the other post and “fix” the text with a note.
Would you prefer me to do that?
It was just a note in case you didn’t think about it.
No, I thought about it. Then I remembered the “deleted by creator” comments I’ve come across in the past. I just want honesty. Which not editing my comment kinda cements.
Some people clarifies their original post with new information by editing it but appending the additional text at the bottom, without changing the original text.
Prefixing the new information with “EDIT:” or similar is usually nice so as to separate the old from the new info.
I prefer this method as it saves people some time by not having to check the entire thread to see if someone else has pointed out an error they identified.
His voter registration really doesn’t answer the question
He asked if the guy was right-winged. Yes, he was.
He was also anti-goverment following the killings in the siege at Waco, which is why he bombed that federal building.
Of course not, he’s gotta be trans or something right
