Today in NYC a scumbag in a gas mask set off a smoke grenade, opened fire on a train, injuring dozens, and possibly left explosives. While it sure sounds like a terrorist attack, NYC officials say it is not being investigated as such. The reason is really quite simple: the suspect is described as a black man. Social Justice dictates that black men cannot be held responsible for the crimes they have committed, especially in the Big Apple.
Fox News reports:
A manhunt is underway in New York City for a suspect accused of donning a gas mask, setting off a smoke canister and opening fire inside a Brooklyn subway train and station during the morning commute Tuesday, injuring at least 16 people, five of whom are in critical condition.
The attack began around 8:24 a.m., as a Manhattan-bound N train approached the 36th St. station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
The suspect’s shots struck multiple people on the subway car and on the platform, New York Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. He was wearing a green “construction type” vest and a hooded gray sweatshirt. The suspect has not been identified by authorities, Sewell said.
FDNY acting Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said that a total of 16 people were injured in the incident, 10 of whom are suffering from gunshot wounds, and five of whom are in critical condition at local hospitals.
“This is not being investigated as an act of terrorism at this time,” said Sewell.
WTF? Someone lit off a smoke canister and and shot up a subway train and it’s not being investigated as an act of terror? What gives?
Maybe this suspect description can help clear this up:
The suspect, described as an approximately 5-foot-5 Black male with a heavy build, is still at large and is “dangerous,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told reporters nearly four hours after the shooting.
Oh, now I get it. If this was a white guy in MAGA hat it would have been investigated as white supremacist domestic terrorism, but but a black man can’t possibly be a terrorist. Even less so if he’s Muslim. These are the rules of social justice and we all must abide.
The question is, if this ain’t terrorism, what the hell is it? Maybe NYC officials think it was a robbery gone really wrong. Perhaps they believe it was gang-related. Then again, it could just as easily be a smokey but mostly peaceful protest for police reform.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has some non-terrorism ideas of what happened:
“We say no more, no more mass shootings. No more disrupting lives. No more creating heartbreak for people just trying to live their lives as normal New Yorkers. It has to end. It ends now. And we are sick and tired of reading headlines about crime,” said Hochul.
So it’s a run-of-the-mill mass shooting, then?
If only New York State and City had some kind of gun control laws that would stop things like this from ever happening. Oh wait, they have tons of gun control and it didn’t do shit.
Hochul seems blissfully unaware that her and her liberal cohort are 100% responsible for the shocking spike in violent crime in New York. All of their justice reform and defund the police nonsense have led to this tragic moment.
The fact that they are trying to downplay the terrorism aspects of this attack tells me NYC officials know more about the suspect than they are letting on. It won’t be a shock if this asshole was in custody recently for a violent crime and was let go under NYC’s no cash bail policy. Also, it’s not out of the realm of possibilities that they knew of his intention to carry out such a violent attack.
