discovered by a mounted police.

Very odd...Two hours ago it was reportedly discovered by two female police officer hero's, that actually observed the suspect flee the scene.

Wow, I use to check Drudge for breaking information... Seems like he and his cohorts are asleep during the weekend.

Very disappointed in his (use to be) fast response to news breaking events. Guess I’ll have to check here for breaking news...

I think Fox just happened to look out the window and caught it live.

Just woke up and while channel surfing caught a Fox report which claimed that Gov Patterson had proclaimed this an act of "Terrorism!"

Oh, oh! Not good!

You just know, that the FUGLY, Big Sis, Dear Leader and the Dhimmy FBI, must be going bonkers in not having been able to get out in front of this to insure us all that it was not, Terrorism and we had nothing to worry about--as is their usual mantra.

I imagine they are in Islamic CYA mode and trying to ascertain how they can blame this on some White Supremacist or Tea Party Movement.

Mmm, mmm, mmm!!!

Might as well

That's what Drudge, Hannity, Rush, O'Reilly, MSNBC, FOX NEWS and every other news/talk outlets do

Same for their globalist elite masters...

The sacred country means nothing to them. They just want a one world order.

all Fox is reporting is, stolen vehicle, stolen plates, gasoline, propane, and nasty stuff meant to maim, kill.

Lucky for NYC and all of us, the dude or dudette was about as skilled as the shoebomber and just as yellowbellied.

To those in a variety of uniforms .... no sir, I don’t mind taxes for brave men and women. We sleep peacefully, because they are awake. God bless and protect them.

They announced earlier that some of the “explosions” were actually FDNY blowing out the windows of the car with a water cannon.

Totally unsubstantiated rumor from some school kid.

Let's not repeat them here.

The SUV was parked in front of the Viacom International Bldg - the parent company of Comedy Central/Southpark. The theater where The Lion King is playing is also in that building.

Hardhat, safety vest and work boots? My, doesn’t he look like a transit worker in the tunnel? Highway flares? I bet a subway train would come to a full stop inside the tunnel when it saw some of those. A quart container full of cyanide? Wouldn’t that create a very large cloud of extremely poisonous gas? Boy, I wouldn’t want to be trapped in an enclosed area when that cloud came rolling by!

Yeah, sounds like a typical suicide try.

There were close calls during the Bush years, too, but from what I’ve read, they were kept on the down low by his administration. Obama’s admin seems to want to make sure the incidents that happen during his are made public. Setting up martial law the possible reason?

The show can't be that bad to make someone do this, can it?
