The "almost" Times Square Bomb
Surprised nobody heard/posted about this.
NYPD: Video has possible SUV bomb suspect in alley - Yahoo! News Luckily nobody was hurt. Could only imagine the destruction there would've been if that bomb had detonated.

Re: The "almost" Times Square Bomb
I wonder if they found any Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly CDs in there.

But all jokes aside, whoever this dude is obviously a nut. Hopefully they find him and lock him up very soon.

As to why this wasn't posted, well I guess you need an actual bang to get peoples attention. The incidents where something good ends up happening (ie New Yorkers working together to prevent an accident) don't get nearly as much screen time. Plus by all accounts this was put together by an idiot, not a well connected terrorist. The fact that it failed as hard as it did is a testament to that.

Re: The "almost" Times Square Bomb
MSN posted it, but it wasn't a main headline when I first saw it.

Re: The "almost" Times Square Bomb
As someone who is in Times Square a lot, and whose wife passes by there almost every day...this is scary stuff. I'm glad nothing happened and I hope the suspect is caught soon

If you work anywhere near any major city you are not safe. I almost want to say places like Times Square may even be a bit safer, have to think there is add security there. The person probaly have more luck in a less of a "hot spot" area.

Interestingly enough, it was parked outside Viacom, where they product offensive garbage like South Park and MTV. It it was a Muslim who did this (it usually is), they're probably mad about some Mohammed jokes on a cartoon. As we saw with the rioting and murders all over Europe a few years ago, a simple comic strip can send millions of them them into riots and killing sprees. Ahem...

Re: The "almost" Times Square Bomb
What's wrong with the world when people want to kill someone over a cartoon?

see McVeigh, Timothy and Stack, Joseph. of course when the american white guys do it we just call them "disgruntled and angry" or that they just have "some misguided gripes with the government" instead of calling them what they are (Terrorists, yea, i went capital T). btw, when we invade and demolish another country based on trumped up phoney evidence on WMD and cuz we want regime change, and hundreds of thousands of innocents die in the process, i guess that's just "foreign policy" and not terrorism.
