Explosion in Chelsea neighborhood:
Quote:
 
n explosion rocked New York's Chelsea neighborhood Saturday night.

The explosion came just after 8:30 pm on 23rd Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, assistant commissioner for communication with the New York City Police Department J. Peter Donald tweeted.

Several injured were transported to area hospitals, Donald said.

The explosion was in a dumpster outside a 14-story residence for the blind, the New York Post reported.

The New York Police Counter-Terrorism unit has responded to the blast. Transit service in the area has been shut down, according to the New York Fire Department.

Bomb at Marine Corps race.
Quote:
 
An explosion that went off in a garbage can Saturday morning in a New Jersey beach town likely was timed to disrupt a Marine Corps charity run, authorities said.

Three pipe-bomb-type devices wired together were found near the boardwalk in Seaside Park. No injuries were reported and a four-block area was evacuated for most of the day, authorities said.
An initial examination showed the devices were rudimentary, with some type of timer, and only one of them detonated, two federal law enforcement officials told CNN.

Al Della Fave, a spokesman for the Ocean County prosecutor's office, said he believes the blast was meant to affect the Seaside Semper Five race.

"If it was just a matter of minutes, in terms of difference, there would have been a good number of people running past that explosive device" because of its location along the race route, Della Fave said.

Registration problems at the starting line delayed the start of the race, which meant no one was near the garbage can when the explosion happened, a law enforcement official said.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about whatever that is.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Monday morning, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday the bombs found over the weekend have similarities, suggesting "there might have been a common linkage."

Cuomo said the investigation is ongoing, and he "wouldn't be surprised if it zeroes in on a particular individual, today even," and he "wouldn't be surprised if we found a foreign connection to the act."

New York blast was Tannerite.

Tannerite is a legal explosive, mostly used for target shooting...you mix the ingredients together, put it in a plastic jug and it'll give a small explosion when hit by a bullet. A low velocity bullet won't set it off, only high velocity.

I would think it would take several pounds to make anything approaching a decent sized bomb.

And, meanwhile in Jersey:

Quote:
 
A suspicious device found in a trash can near a New Jersey train station exploded early Monday as a bomb squad was attempting to disarm it with a robot, officials said.

Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage said that the FBI was working to disarm one of five devices found in the same bag, which was discovered in a trash can by two men around 8:30 p.m. Sunday, near the Elizabeth train station on New Jersey Transit’s Northeast Corridor rail line. The men had reported seeing wires and a pipe coming out of the package, Bollwage said.

The White House explains that we're in a "narrative battle."

Quote:
 
Earnest’s comments come after a weekend of narrative violence across the U.S. A pipe narrative exploded in a garbage can near a Marine Corps race in New Jersey. In New York City, a separate narrative blast injured 29 people on Saturday. Law enforcement authorities believe the same wicked wordsmith was responsible for both narrative explosions. On Saturday evening, another vicious narrative stabbed nine people at a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota. That word terrorist was finally stopped by an NRA-certified concealed carry instructor’s sick burns and also multiple rounds from the instructor’s personal sentence pistol.

The weekend’s narrative violence is unfortunately nothing new for Americans. Last June, a lone narrator shot up a night club in Orlando, killing 49 people and wounding 53 others. In December of 2015, two radical Islamic poets killed 14 people and seriously injured 22 others in a war of narratives at a special needs health center in San Bernardino, California.

My understanding is that some people might not vote for Ms. Clinton if this murderer has the wrong branding.

So it is important to get the brand right.

Rahami's wife may have left the US a few days before the bombings:

Quote:
 
Rahami's wife left the United States a few days before this weekend's bombings, and US officials want to speak with her, a law enforcement official said on condition of anonymity.

The official didn't provide details about her travels but said authorities are working with officials in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates to gain access to her.

Her timeline in the United States wasn't immediately clear. Rahami had tried earlier this decade to petition to bring his wife to the United States from Pakistan, though it wasn't clear when he succeeded.

A law enforcement official told CNN that Rahami filed the paperwork in 2011, and it was approved in 2012.

I read that as saying that we need to identify dangerous people entering the country for any reason from any country, not just singling out refugees who are looking to immigrate. The reference to 9/11 makes that clear; the hijackers weren't immigrants as far as I know. Weren't they just here on visitor visas?

A more thoughtful, effective approach, don't you think, than a broad brush that keeps out refugees from a particular country or of a particular religion?
Let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness.

It's a game.

If it's a football game I want big, strong young men.

If it's a hockey game I want some Canadians.

If it's basketball I want some average height Jewish types.

Profiling is ok.
