Quote:A man on Tuesday afternoon drove a pickup truck down a lengthy stretch of bike path next to the Hudson River in Lower Manhattan, striking numerous people. The vehicle collided with a school bus from Stuyvesant High School.
There were some reports the man fired gunshots from the truck, but officials could not immediately confirm that. The police said a suspect had been taken into custody.
Officials said as many as six people had been killed and 11 injured.

Interestingly, the news refused to label the Vegas incident as a terrorist attack, but the news is having no trouble labeling this one as a terrorist attack - at least according to the news I am viewing on the television.

Anyone who does something like this, frankly, should be taken out the back of the court building and have a bullet put into their brain.
Yes, call me a fascist, but these "people" are scum.

And here I was thinking it had to do with the Vegas guy being white.

Probably had more to do with his attack on a Federal building instead of a group of people at a concert.

Toll is 8 dead.
And all for a fucking false religion.
Grrrr.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
