Italians in an Hassidic neighborhood. I think not. The Hasidic Jews are not known for drug pushing, porno, racketeering, gambling, and all the other vices the mafia loves.

More likely the car bombers name is Mohammed something.

[Almondjoy]

The more likely conclusion.. the mob did him in. :)

I remember a month after 9-11, the 'government experts' said the USA would eventually begin to see car bombings after we made it hard for the ARABs to do the spectacular damage; just like we are now seeing in Israel.

[John H K]

Ummm......

Isn't this sorta EXTRA unspectacular? What they meant by car bombings is a car with a bomb designed to destroy a neighborhood. This was an assassination, not a terrorist attack. The vehicle is virtually unscathed.

Terrorists aren't going to use a car bomb, to kill a specific person...as this attack obviously was.

Im thinkin' more along the lines of Vinny 'Two Chins' and Joey 'The Animal'

Me also..

The Genovese faction (or "family") has employed these things in the past.. in conjunction with a man named "Gas Pipe" Casso.

"Gas Pipe" is such a fitting name for a bomber, doncha think? Right up there with your two examples.

If the Muslims want a war in America, the Jews could give it to them, and give it to them good.

But we won't.

Because most Americans aren't interested in their country being used as a battleground between two warring tribes. That's just not something that appeals to most Americans! And they would lose patience with Jews very quickly if armed resistance was part of our strategy here.

So for now, I think American Jews will solely concentrate on the political, demanding groups like CAIR be ostracized unless they stop pushing the radical Islamofascist pro-Hamas line. And we'll demonize anyone who whines about "ethnic profiling" of Muslim types.

[Alas Babylon!]

I would think, that because they are Americans, who happen to be Jews, everyone would have extreme anger and a resolve to bring to justice those who attack AMERICANS. Now that's just me; I'm funny like that. If their religion happens to be Baptist, or Catholic, or Presbertarian, or whatever, I will be a soldier for this country and my countrymen.

Thanks for the bump ;)

This isn't a "ping list" and it's a one-time deal.

S'okay, you always ping to good stuff :D.

Vinny 'The Chin' has been in the news this week. Apparently the feds have him on film acting normal.

[hellinahandcart]

This is eerie. I just read on the other thread that the victim's name is Halberstam. And we were discussing Ari Halberstam on that "Knife Terrorist" thread last week.

Borough Park Car Bomb Explosion Under Investigation

(IsraelNN.com) A car bomb exploded in the Borough Park section of NYC on 42nd Street between 16th and 17th Avenues several hours ago. Area resident and storeowner Yisrael Halberstam opened the door of his car, detonating an explosive that tore off his foot.

Police closed off the area and instructed all residents to remain indoors. An investigation is underway. The motive for the attack is unclear according to police investigators.

[Nix 2]

This is eerie

Pay attention. It has only just begun. NYC isn't the only place either.

Hysterical again that attacks on Jews are noticed? I'm beginning to see a pattern with you, TLB...
