| 2022-04-12 |
| [FoxNews] New York City Mayor Eric Adams praised transit workers and first responders that stepped up as a subway train turned into a “war zone” during a violent attack on a subway car full of passengers Tuesday. “Today was a difficult day for New York,” he said during a news briefing from another location as continues to isolate himself after testing positive for COVID-19. “We saw a quiet Tuesday morning turn the N train into a war zone as a smoke bomb was detonated and multiple shots rang out.” “Thanks to the quick thinking of the MTA crew and the bravery and cooperation of passengers, lives were saved,” he added. He said the attack was part of a surge of gun violence plaguing New York City and many other municipalities across the country. “These relentless shooters are an American problem,” he said. “It is going to take all levels of government to solve. It is going to take the entire nation to speak out and push back against the cult of death that has taken hold in this nation.” BROOKLYN SUBWAY ATTACK: $50G REWARD ANNOUNCED Authorities announced a $50,000 reward regarding Tuesday’s subway attack in Brooklyn. Officials also named a person of interest in connection with the shooting and assault on a Manhattan-bound N train. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and Transport Workers Union (TWU) Local 100 put up $25,000 to match another $25,000 from the New York Police Foundation. "We are doing everything we can to catch the man responsible for this heinous attack on our riders,” MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said in a statement. “New Yorkers know that if they see something, they should say something, especially in this case. Justice must be served.” The Brooklyn Nets also announced they will donate $50,000 to help those injured. The team held a moment of silence before Tuesday’s play-in game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The donation will come from the Nets and the New York Liberty Foundation. Multiple people were injured, including 10 people who were shot when a gunman opened smoke grenades and began shooting on the train, the NYPD said. “That’s the subway stop for our practice facility and for our office,” Nets coach Steve Nash said before the game. “My kids go to school not exceedingly far, so it does hit home and you just feel for all those affected and you recognize that we have a lot of growing to do as a society and a community, and you just feel for everybody in our community that was affected.” |

| #6 File under Sick Sarcastic humor but believable. DC LSD's to call for a House investigation on why it was a .380 pistol used and not the EVIL AR-15 Ghost Gun. Seriously Tho Either way NY does not have a death penalty. Because back in July 2008, Governor David Paterson (LSD) issued an executive order shuting down Death Row. Then in August 2018, Governor Andrew Cuomo (Uber LSD) announced that he was advancing legislation to remove the death penalty statute from New York State. |

| #5 You could use the fireworks two ways: To create a diversion while escaping in another direction, or to cause people to panic and run from what they think is gunfire but actually drive them into the line of fire. Both are a step up from amateur hour. |

| #3 Talking heads on cable news talking about the fireworks and “extended mags” taking preparation and planning. One even said shooter was 5’5” so he probably had help. Those are stupid comments. A .380 and a bag of fireworks is something even a moron could concoct. An evil one nevertheless, but still quite rudimentary by planning and prep standards. |

| #2 Looks like the shooter had a bag of mid-size fireworks and a roll of fuse that the PD found. Shooter is/was driving a rental truck out of Pennsylvania and a newer law allows such firework purchases there. |
