The mayor was inside the residence at the time, the police department said later Saturday
The NYPD’s Bomb Squad confirmed that the devices thrown in the direction of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home were both viable IEDs.
The incident is now under investigation by both the NYPD and the FBI. In total, two devices were thrown during the protests on Saturday afternoon on Manhattan’s swanky Upper East Side.
On Sunday, police spokesperson Jessica Tisch said that the “preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb.”
“It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death,” Tisch added.
That’s my point. When you lose your humanity, you are no better. The whole point of fascism is to ‘other’ different in and out groups. Exactly what you’re doing, to the point where you think terrorism is ok.
Except the “other” in this case are fucking Nazis. Fuck off with this tolerance bullshit.
Alright, let me say this then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlottesville_car_attack
They’re ALREADY violent before anything was done to them. You can’t handle them with kid gloves. And not seeing a difference between them being of the government and not isn’t dehumanization. It’s acknowledging that the government will protect the when they do awful stuff because the government wants it done.
Now dehumanizing would be saying they’re cockroaches, that they’re not people, by what THEY say of US and all out groups. I have not said that. But if you believe the moral high road is how you’ll win, you’ve not been paying attention for the past 30 decades.
And this is why “centrists” let Nazis takeover.
Firstly I’m not a centrist. My beliefs lie firmly on the left.
Secondly, you’re not addressing my points.
It’s easy to be edgy and support terrorism from behind a keyboard. The reality of living under terrorism threats from either side is no better than fascism. See northern Ireland, Palestine, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Nigeria. The only one I’d like to live in is northern Ireland, where the threat of terrorism has subsided due to treating each side as people and ending terrorism.
The only way nazism grows is by treating people like they are not people. This is why nazis take over.
Nazis take over because people are mean to then is a fucking wild ass take holy shit.
Tender footed leftists not realizing you have to protect tolerance from the intolerant.
Who won again in that situation and why?
Northern Ireland? Nobody. And tensions remain today but people can love normal loves without oppression.
Or you mean Palestine? Terrorist attacks on either side didn’t help either. Eventually it lead to genocide.
Jurisdictionally it’s Britain, not Ireland. You’d need a passport generally to move between them. The Nazis won in that, so to speak. We’re all tired, and maybe people need to see these things to be a bit more brave. No one is coming to save us.
No, it’s Great Britain AND Northern Ireland. Both being part of the UK. If you’re going to be pedantic, be correct.
Free movement between Ireland and the UK predates the EU and continues to this day. One part of the Brexit discussions was continuing border free travel between north and south on the island of Ireland.
I agree, nobody is coming to save you and you have to do it for yourselves. Bombing protestors, however distasteful, will make it so there is nothing worth saving.
Don’t get me wrong. Terrorism can work. And today’s terrorist is tomorrow’s freedom fighter. I don’t thinknthe USA is at that level of oppression for mqny people to be sympathetic to a terrorist movement, which is a requirement for it to work.
