Remember when liberals were so pissed off at Mayor Adams that they threw a pipe bomb at his house? No?
Huh. Weird.
Video seems to indicate that the IEDs were thrown at the nazis who were grilling a pig head in front of the mayor's house.
Why the NYPD was allowing a bbq on the sidewalk isn't clear to me yet
So not that I contest your point but the article says the bombs were thrown by counter protesters. Not the anti Islam protesters
Okay... It's been a long weekend apparently.
click bait headline and post.
It was an Fascist Protest held by Nazi Jake Lang against Muslims. two counter protesters were the ones who tossed the IEDs. they WERE NOT directed at the Mayors home but at the Nazi's that were protesting nearby.
Oh, so that’s why the news is allowed to talk about this.
Terrorism with IEDs is a threat to safety of all and to democracy, even if it is directed at nazis.
Also, what do you think the Nazis do next?
Oh no, the Nazis will get violent! Oh wait, they already are? And have the state supporting and performing their violence? Oh....
You're conflating state sponsored violence with random Nazi supporters joking them as private malitia.
Absolutely violence should not be avoided where violence is already being used. However, by all account these nazis were protestors, not the agents of the government.
Nazis are still people and there is still a spectrum of violence and beliefs. In the Nazi bar analogy, they all end up being nazis by virtue of association and tolerance of Nazi views. You're making the leap to all being Nazis immediately.
Non violent far right protestors have the right to protest and their beliefs. Where they have already perpetrated violence, they should receive it in kind or, ideally prosecution.
The use of IED is not that and just normalises it's use. Which side has the bigger propensity for violence and bombing of unarmed civilians?
The Dems and the left have a problem where they tut tut and pearl clutch rather than taking action. Jumping to bombing protests is not the answer, however distasteful those protests are.
I'm sorry, with dealing with Nazis under a Nazi regime, I fail to see a difference between them being of the state or not.
So the article says the explosives were thrown by counter protesters. I don't support the Nazis but idk if this fits the narrative here
I'm assuming this was an antifa BLM drag queen working for ACORN and very worked up by all the terrible, hateful rhetoric about the Republicans?
Lol, if you actually read the article it legitimately was the counter-protestors attempting to bomb the white nationalists protesting against "Islam" outside Mamdani's residence.
The spin here that Mamdani was the target, or in active danger from the "explosives", is incredible!
The actual target was Jake Lang and the police protecting him and was an attack against NYPD who is actively enabling and supporting said intimidating campaign against Mamdani and does pose an actual risk to his, and his families, health and safety.
It sounds like an unfortunate lack of consequences for those Nazis.
FoxNews Entertaint is going to get someone killed.
They already have - via Trump, who watches them religiously.
Every piece of modern right wing terrorism can probably be traced back to highly right wing media.
This shouldn’t be happening, but we live in Amerikkka.
Are they gonna blame this explosive on Muslims too?
