    Default Bombs, stabbings, more bombs, fun day in the old US of A, minor coverage given "unbiased" press

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016...criticism.html

    Here we have the media trying to cover for Hilary...

    Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump each referred to the intentionally set explosion Saturday night in New York City as a bomb, but Trump is taking the brunt of the backlash for failing to wait until police made a determination.

    "Just before I got off the plane a bomb went off in New York, and nobody knows what's going on," Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, said during a rally in Colorado Springs, Colo.

    Authorities say they suspect the explosion, which injured 29 people, was an "intentional act" but have provided no details about a suspect or motive. The device was put in a large metal trash bin in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood.

    A second device was purportedly found four blocks from the explosion. It appeared to be a pressure cooker attached to wiring and a cellphone.
    Some are saying CNN edited out the part where Hilary Clinton said the word "bombing" but eh whatever we expect that from a major Clinton donor.





    Then we got this one...

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/n...917-story.html

    A pipe bomb exploded in a New Jersey shore town Saturday shortly before thousands of runners were to participate in a charity 5K race to benefit Marines and sailors, authorities said.
    No injuries were reported in the blast in Seaside Park around 9:30 a.m. Saturday, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor's office. He said no surrounding structures were damaged.
    The FBI has taken over as the lead agency in the investigation. But officials would not say whether they believe the incident was terror-related or if they suspected participants in the third annual Semper Five run were targeted.
    Brad Cohen, the acting special agent in charge of the FBI's office in Newark, declined to discuss the matter at length during a brief news conference staged Saturday evening. He also declined to take questions from reporters, citing the "active, ongoing" investigation.
    The race had been scheduled to start shortly before the blast occurred, but it was delayed due to the large numbers of people registering for the race and reports of an unattended backpack being found. Della Fave noted that if the race had started on time, a "good number of people" would have been running past the area where the explosion occurred.
    People were saved injury and perhaps death because of a slow start, so there is that at least...

    And finally.....



    Eight people were injured and the suspect died at Crossroads Center on Saturday after an attack reported about 8:15 p.m.
    St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson said the victims were stabbed by a man dressed in a private security uniform.
    An off-duty police officer from another jurisdiction shot and killed the attacker, Anderson said. Anderson did not say where that officer serves during the news conference that started after midnight.
    According to St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis, the shooting happened inside Macy's.
    Eight patients were taken to St. Cloud Hospital. On Sunday morning, hospital Communications Specialist Chris Nelson told the Times that five were released, and three were admitted with injuries that were not life-threatening.
    Anderson said the attacker, who was armed with a knife, reportedly made references to Allah during the attack and asked at least one person whether they were Muslim. But Anderson pointedly declined to call the attacks an act of terrorism, saying the motive isn't yet known.

    Luckily and off duty cop had a gun on him.

    So we have what appears to be three terrorist attacks in a day in the US, luckily no one killed outside of an attacker, and this was MSNBC's front page after the NYC bombings...

    So at least they are mention the "explosions" while being rather obviously extremely biased against Trump in all their stories. Apparently the other two attacks were not worth a mention.

    Part of me is amused by the coverage because I enjoy being right, but really what the hell?

    This *really* worries me long term, despite the information age. We have twitter and Facebook censoring points of view, we have new media taking direct sides, we have google filtering searches. Controlling information has always been an important tool of government. In a semi-informed world, as in people read the headline, maybe the story, but lack the intelligence or desire to really find out whats going on, aka the majority, controlling information is both harder due to the internet, and much easier, due to the same internet. Becoming on "unperson" is going to get easier and easier with more advanced ways to filter and block information. We are still in the "wild west" period of the internet, but its passing, and its passing fast.
    "When I die, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like Fidel Castro, not screaming in terror, like his victims."

    My shameful truth.

    Sorry, Phier old buddy, but you are obviously unaware of the fact that there haven't been any terrorist attacks in the US while Obama has been President. I know this is true because he's said so himself and the news have said so as well.

    Are you guys trying to imply that America has stopped being great? Because that's deplorable.

    Things are going to escalate regardless.

    A Salafist Imam of Mecca just yesterday cheerleaded Jihadists that kill Christians and those are the best buddies of the current US administration in the Muslim world. The system is simply too corrupt to effectively fight Islamic terrorism or other threats. The storm is coming and there's nothing that can prevent it.

    So what Trump will do to destroy terrorism caused by people like the Somali who injured 8 in Minnesota. Send troops in Somalia? Oh wait. Actually US HAS troops in Somalia and occupies the country with her allies prolonging the war there.

    Bty here is a collection of non terrorist incidents inside US in the last 24 hours

    http://wjla.com/news/local/police-on...n-southeast-dc

    2 dead 6 injured in Washington DC

    http://www.clickorlando.com/news/1-d...lando-shooting

    1 dead, 6 injured in orlando

    http://www.theindychannel.com/news/t...the-north-side

    2 dead 2 injured in a shooting in Indianapolis

    http://ktla.com/2016/09/17/2-men-inj...im-identified/

    2 dead 2 injured in Los Angeles shooting

    http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20...ladelphia.html

    2 dead, 5 injured in Philadephia

    The last one would be considered a terrorist attack if the man who shot was a muslim. But he wasnt while the target was muslims. So yeah. He is just a crazy dude, isnt he?

    Where do you get that "the target was muslims", when he initiated it by shooting a cop and "police found a "rambling" letter allegedly written by the gunman in which he expressed hatred toward police and probation officers".

    The only dead appart from him was a muslim. He shot at police and at muslims. But that does not qualify for terrorist attack of course. Never

    Yeah, the media really hates it when a bomb goes off. It's just days and days of nothing to talk about, so now they try and pretend bombs haven't gone off. Some would say they're waiting for all the facts, but those people would be cucks.

    I don't give a if it's inspired by Obama, I don't like Trump because his economic and social policy is retarded. The fact that most of his supporters seem to be idiots, bigots, or racists doesn't swing me one way or another.

    Anyways,
    "You probably have all seen the news by now,

    the explosives detonated in New York City, that was me. Those were just some tests, I know where I have made errors and I will not make the same mistake next time.

    I did it because I cannot stand society.

    I cannot live in a world where homosexuals like myself as well as the rest of the LGBTQ+ community are looked down upon by society."

    Well, if someone really wants to fight for the lives and human rights of homosexuals etc., I hear there's a war going on against the IS and al-Nusra or whatever this cancer is calling itself now. Maybe the YPG are still hiring?

    You see, it's okay to liberals if Muslims oppress gays because most of them are poor or not white. Maybe it has to do with the privileged scale? Most gays in America are white after all. Since they're lower on the scale their bigotry is accepted. Kind of like BLM. I would like to see a social experiment where two gay men try to get married at a Mosque or buy their cake at a Muslim bakery.

    Wow dead on. There most def is a scale of protected classes from the patronizing left. The hilarity happens when one protected person attacks or kills someone from another protected class.....crickets.

    The stabbing attack at the Minnesota mall.

    - Minnesota accepted most muslim immigrants
    - Stabbing suspect was yelling about Allah
    - Suspect was shot by plainclothes cop who was carrying in violation of the mall's "gun free zone" policy.

    Liberal heads asplode.
    Are cops killing blacks in disproportionate numbers? Nah:

    So, I take it you find it wrong that people from Europe immigrated to Northern American through out history since they contained many criminals and the whole debacle resulted in annihilation of the natives?

    Fancy phrases indeed. There is no connection in what I said to political correctness, evident from the fact that you're unable to come up with the slightest defense of it despite being challenged about it. Instead, your go to response is to make it personal and continue with your bickering.

    Several million still makes up less than 6.25 percent, though I wonder where all these millions of terrorists out there....

    Except, whether a scholar from 1930s used it or not has no relation to how its used today. The phrase is most commonly used by opponents of Islam.

    The Minnesota mall stabber was a Kenyan who came to USA 20 years ago. So, not sure what Minnesota accepting most Muslim immigrants (whether true or not as it's not the state with the most Muslims) has to with anything. If you're referring to the latest refugees then the fact that he came to USA 20 years ago pretty much nullifies that point. I know, I know... Facts don't matter here...

    It's getting more interesting with each of these threads. Whenever there is a claim of gross media negligence or bias, there is usually none, or negligibly very little. Heck, I'm an ocean and a continent away and I still heard about these incidents from CNN through their Facebook posts. That's a very bad way of trying to hide news... I remember specifically reading from a CNN article how Clinton used the word "bombing" as well. Then we have people ignoring or outright defending all the BS that comes Fox News...
