If this is so, why did police immediately say the attack was not terror-related?
More news as it develops.

Duh. No surprise. Nothing to see here, move on. AP says 6 people dead 15 injured.

The toll is now eight dead.

Well, we can rule out the Marauding Methodists or Cantankerous Catholics now. That’s a relief. Phew!

Dangerous Jehovas Witnesses or Hasidic Jews no doubt.
It makes me even more angry because they (moselms) targeted children with this out. Kids out to get candy and just have fun.
They hate us and everything we stand for. And we’ve had 8 years of a leader who supports them. I’m sure this will be some Obama refugee we let in. And the dems continue to fight the travel ban.

Yes–this savage *targeted kids* out having fun.
God, I hate Islam.

“Allahu akbar” has became a death warning or a death call.
Jimsays
Always was.

BBC now says cops are treating it as terrorist incident.

After initially denying it was terrorism. It’s like a Monty Python scene the way they have to admit they were initially lying.

Hussein Obama, public enemy #1.
Bull doze the Mosque, deport his family, criticize and expose Islam openly and frequently. Cite the Koran.

I bike in that area. It could have been me. The Muslim vise is closing

Glad you are safe, Gamaliel. I’m praying for your neighbors.

The ‘culture of the west’, the people who drive it, are deathly afraid to ever say, that another culture,with 1.5 billion members, is capable of mass homicidism. Those who rule our culture are terrified that this could be so, would be so…. they are so afraid of the notion that they will let their women get raped, their citizens get run over, stabbed, blown up, in the hope that there is no such culture of 1.5 billions, with rulers and political influence holding a gun to their throats.
They are more afraid of admitting the facts about this, that of the multiple murdered, the raped, and the threat of many more, than they are of the murdered. They can’t face it. They can’t understand that right and wrong are completely turned upside down and that such a religion can justify this by lying about what their holy book says, and forbidding investigation by others in this regard.
The cultural leaders of the west are terrified of facing this.

I would not sneer at the idea of Western culture. We have, in fact, the most civilized culture in the history of the world–*far* superior to the horror of Islam.

A direct result no doubt of Mayor Big Bird ending mosque surveillance. I hope Nicole can make use of this.

Let the orgy of hand-wringing over the anticipated “Islamophobic backlash” now begin!

Grimly true.

I know exactly how Marxists, Como & Di Blasio are going to frame this.
This act does not represent the muslim in NYC. This was a Lone Wolf incident. There is no need to be alarmed. Law enforcement will be vigilant in assuring New York’s muslim population that no hate crimes or hate speech will be tolerated. The REAL victims in this terrible event are ultimately, the muslims. Muslims contribute enormously to make New York the greatest city on Earth.
We will be writing a bill into law to increase welfare payments to every muslim residing in this great city so that their feelings will not be hurt.
New York apologizes to all muslims who feel that they have been victimized because of this event.
Allahu Ackbar.

Report: JTTF members says Manhattan truck driver/gunman screamed “Allahu akbar”
………………………
And it turns out he has a Muslim beard, is from Muslim-majority Uzbekistan, and his name means “Sword of Allah”.

Not surprised.
