BREAKING=> Man’s LEG BLOWN OFF in NYC Central Park Explosion — POLICE SEARCHING PARK FOR BOMBS!
The Gateway Pundit ^ | Jul 3, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 07/03/2016 2:37:11 PM PDT by Q-ManRN

A commenter on Free Republic said it happened near Elie Wiesel’s funeral.

I heard/read that a young man started climbing one of the boulders in CP when he stepped on something and it exploded very loudly. I believe he lost a foot and part of a leg. Poor kid. He seems to be very young and a good looking fellow. Not known if it was a firecracker of some sort or something more sinister. Happened near Elie Wiesel funeral. Don’t know if that was related.

A firecracker does not have metal in it. Usually, a mine does.

A fragements found in him or around the site will determine what the hell it was.

Nothing on the local news here in NYC when I turned it on. That’s not to say it hasn’t been updated since I’m running around and not watching tv.

“A commenter on Free Republic said it happened near Elie Wiesel’s funeral.”

I think that’s what the Daily Mail said.

In the headline, they should replace “BREAKING” with “EXPLOSIVE”.

Strange no mention on Fox all afternoon. Saw a little on CNN, not sure about MSNBC.

saw one remark at a TV stations articles comment section said this area is frequented by Homosexuals and the kid did veer off the beaten path on to the rocks.

Should be interesting to hear all the theories on this one

Firecracker??? RIIIIIGHT! Was it a “Lady Finger” or a “Black Cat/” Whew! Those are just sooo dangerous.

I can categorically guarantee that whatever it was that exploded under this guy’s leg, it was NOT a “firecracker.” Not even an M-80 or two Cherry Bombs fused together.

Great, the new comers are already laying mine fields? If that’s the case we are really in for it.

>>A firecracker does not have metal in it. Usually, a mine does.

A firework will burn you severely, but even a mortar round will not blow a leg off. I’m thinking someone place an explosive to bomb Elie Weisel’s funeral and this guy found it and accidentally detonated it.

Until it’s proven not to be terrorism it’s terrorism.

The narrative is downplaying any terror connection. Homemade explosive by fireworks or explosive “enthusiast.” A chemistry experiment gone wrong. Meant to make a loud noise. Blah. Blah. Blah.
