| Explosion rocks Chelsea in New York City | |
| 2016-09-18 | |
The explosion, described by one neighbor as “deafening,” happened outside the Associated Blind Housing facility at 135 W. 23rd Street. The facility provides housing, training and other services for the blind. According to police radio transmissions, the people inside the facility have been initially told to remain inside as police began their investigation. Two buildings to the east of the facility were being evacuated. No fires have been reported, but multiple emergency vehicles, including ambulances, rushed to the scene. “It was a quiet night, and then I heard this deafening boom,” said Jakir Aussin, who works at a Dunkin Donuts at 23rd and Sixth Avenue. “My first thought was, ‘Oh god, a bomb,’ so I got down on the floor.” He added “I looked outside and it’s all broken glass, car alarms going off — I still don’t know what happened.” Witnesses described hearing a massive noise — “100x louder than thunder,” one tweeted. The smell of gunfire filled the air. People flooded the street from nearby bars and restaurants. “Louder than any thunder I’e ever heard in my life,” tweeted Liz Mandel. “Like the sky exploded. Shook the building.” | |

| #17 This is just a "dividend" of diversity. Cosmopolitan New Yorkers are fine with it. Especially those who were outside the blast radius... |

| #13 Mike N., what's so hard about "It has nothing to do with Islam", "We'll do everything to fight Islamophobia among those deplorables." They've got the narrative, they're probably just coordinating the timing. |

| #11 From Frank G's link: "As governor of New York, this is my worst nightmare," Cuomo said in announcing that 1,000 National Guardsmen would be deployed to the public transportation system for Monday's commute as a precaution. Sources said a second device that was found was a pressure cooker. Images being circulated on social media showed the device with wires attached to what appeared to be a mobile telephone. It was not possible to verify whether those images were of the second device. |

| #5 Some reports say a second bomb was found nearby. I'd say it's not unlikely it's related to the bombs at the Marine run in New Jersey. |

| #3 this was an Islamist attack on civilians but it's just a test run, a practice notice bombs were left in bins, no suicide attackers here that's because they are saving it up for after November 2 Right now we are in a three-month stretch of "holy months" on the Islamic calendar where jihad is frowned upon These are the months for planning, testing, regrouping, propagandising -- months 11 and 12 of the year 1437 plus the first month of 1438. It doesn't mean you can't kill anybody, just that it's not encouraged like it is say in Ramadan. On November 2 the Islamic calendar ticks over to the 2nd month of the year 1438, that's the month of "Safar" Safar is the month of retribution So after November 1 they will be way worse Islamists are happy to injure and kill people all the time, and Islamic State's Caliphate has given the directive that it is religiously OK to kill random civilians in fact it is an "act of worship" to do so, supported by reference to 3 respected Islamic scholars including Hanbali. As published in the first edition of their new magazine Rumiyah. However now is just the time of preparation The truly devout and pious are using this time to prepare and practice for Safar which begins November 2 You must know your enemy if you hope to defeat it. See Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, on YouTube, to learn about Islamism, your enemy. |
