AP Still Unsure Of NY Terrorist’s Motive
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/01/2017 | Amber Athey

Posted on 11/01/2017 12:04:23 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

The Associated Press is insisting that investigators are still searching for a motive behind Tuesday’s terror attack in Manhattan, NY.

“Investigators seek motive after driver in a rented pickup truck plowed down people on a bike path in NYC,” the AP tweeted Wednesday morning with a video attached.

— The Associated Press (@AP) November 1, 2017

The tweet is a bit baffling considering the suspect shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the attack, a common Arabic phrase used by Islamic terrorists during these types of attacks. Additionally, police reportedly found a note written by the suspect that pledged allegiance to ISIS.

The attached video by AP leaves out these key facts in order to cloud the motive. The AP refused to say “Allahu Akbar,” obfuscating the phrase by stating he was “yelling ‘God is great’ in Arabic.” They also completely failed to tell viewers that the note found in the terrorist’s rented truck mentioned ISIS.

“Investigators are scrutinizing a note found in that truck,” AP plainly stated.

Apparently, “Allahu Akbar” means “Pass the gravy, please” in Swahili, so the media is trying to determine if he was just hungry.

Oh, that's the problem: the AP is waiting to get a translator who speaks Hawaiian.

He’s a terrorist, Jim.

I wish we could say He's dead, Jim and Thank God for and good job by the off-duty officer who shot him. Unfortunately, non-fatally.

“Even if true, which of course it isn’t, they are still way ahead of Las Vegas in determining a motive. Probably because of what he said, wrote, and the fact he even brags about it from his hospital bed.”

Well, yes, of course. For normal people that think normally.

But for the msm, leftists, liberals, demoncrats, GOPe, they won’t know what the motive is for years, and maybe never. Their brain doesn’t work normal.

I noticed this a couple of weeks ago and became real clear.

The way in which normal people understand stories, and the way in which the leftist understand the same story, is quite different.

Two examples:

1. Bernie Sanders completely misunderstands the Robin Hood story as pointed out this week by Ted Cruz.
2. hillary Clinton completely misunderstands 1984 as is clear when she tries to reference it in her book

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

You don’t need Sherlock Holmes to discern the motive, Inspector Clouseau could do it.

AP, like most msn ops, beyond just destruction for its own sake, unsure of their own motives.

Good to know the AP writers have IQs below room temperature—of course the media outlets that re-print their garbage are as dumb as they are.

Yes, it was intended as a tongue in cheek response.

Even De Blasio says it is terrorism, but cautions that we cannot be certain with which group. Yes, we must ignore who the terrorist himself claims as his inspiration. As if that even mattered if it was another terrorist group anyway. He's a terrorist, he's Muslim, thus he is a radical Muslim terrorist.

What I still can't figure out why leftists (Democrats) still support these clowns who put Americans in jeopardy over the diversity mantra. Don't they know they too can become a victim of this policy? Who pays the long term bills for those who survive, but are in extremely serious condition and will never be the same again.

Perhaps we should start suing these politicians & judges who promote this kind of injustice to Americans.

You can be certain that if an anti-abortion radical yelled “Deus vult!” while bombing an abortion clinic, they would have no problem blaming Christianity.

FMG its obvious this guy wanted to kill people . Since coming to our country he helped 23 people gain entry with Schumer’s dumb visa program. Time to gas these people and quit with the motive stuff.

In order to understand the motive here, you have to first figure out how to surgically remove your head from your rectum! But then, that might not help either.

Need to take a good look at these 23 lottery winners and question why these people are allowed to stay.
