 NYC Bombing
Hey everyone. Just wanted to say hi, and say this was scary. I saw it, heard it, and felt it. I was a block away heading to my train. Had I have been in a hurry or any other reason I would have ran at a crosswalk with only 6 seconds left, you might not hear from me in a while .I ran into the smoke, but that is where heroics end. Once I saw I could do nothing I got the hell out of there. I helped a little girl find her mom. No injuries outside of eyes hurting and some coughing. Honestly one of the scariest things of my life.

 Re: NYC Bombing
The terrorists are still trying to kill America? I thought all of that had blown over. Ah well. I am a bit surprised that Thegun didn't manage to do more! Well, at least he can now add "hero" to his short bio: journalist-comedian-editor-actor-hero.

 Re: NYC Bombing
You don't even have my job title right
Seems no one has died.Scariest day of my life, I'm even thankful for you Algren.
For anyone ever wondering what a bomb feels like. You can not walk away from it like in the movies. This was was a small one apparently and it still felt like someone giving me a dead leg. And then someone blows smoke down your throat for 10 seconds

 Re: NYC Bombing
"You know what New Yorkers did the day after the bombing? They rode the subway with Muslims, they went to school with Muslims, they worked with Muslims, and they were protected by Muslim police officers. Because New Yorkers know that ‘Muslim’ and ‘terrorist’ are not synonyms. Kind of like ‘Trump’ and ‘presidential.’" - Seth Meyers, discussing Trump's call to ban Muslims after the bombing

 Re: NYC Bombing
All Muslims are not terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim. While unfair and damaging to innocent Muslims, it's an easy fix just to stop people dying at the hands of the bad Muslims. I think that's where Trump is coming from, and I think he'll get support for that too. The bombing couldn't have come at a better time for Trump, lol.

 Re: NYC Bombing
Can't Obama just stay for another term?  It would be the best option. Can't legislation or the constitution be changed to allow it?

 Re: NYC Bombing
What??! Are you fucking kidding me? You think nuclear weapons will be dropped and every human on Earth will just be wiped out, and that's the end of it?
