Default NY bike path mayhem

Conflicting radio reports. Apparently crash involved some
bicycles, a school bus, a delivery truck, a firearm and
fatal police shot(s).

It turned out that my post highlighted the same incident as yours,
above, Apparently when the bearded driver got out of the truck he said
"Allahu akbar".

The Bangkok Post has it that "The attacker was taken into custody
after he was shot in the stomach by a New York City policeman, and
neutralised".

It's encouraging that the NY cops, at least, have caught on the idea of
taking these guys alive so they can be "Debriefed" instead of blowing
them to smithereens on the spot.

I guess it's all money in the pocket for the media people, but if I had
my druthers, the story would be "Another nutcase kills a bunch of
people" and leave it at that until some group/plot emerges.

Nonsense. The killer's name is Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, which makes him at least a second-generation Muslim. He shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he committed his crimes, which makes him a jihadist. If that isn't enough evidence to call him a Muslim and take a 95% guess at the influences on him, what will be enough for the limp apologists of Islamic jihad? -- AJ

Well, we don't know yet if he is a nutcase or what. No doubt more
information will appear; who knows if he will provide anything useful
himself. He did at least leave some written notes in the truck (or at
least someone did, he seems like the most likely candidate) indicating
at least inspiration by ISIS.

Perhaps we could at least get the president to stop adding so much fuel
to the fire. Yeah, right, like that's gonna happen. He has to keep the
fires built high to distract from other things (like fleecing the middle
class to pay for the rich folks' tax cuts).

The killer's name is Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov. He deliberately targeted cyclists on a cycle path. Bystanders reported hearing him shout "Allahu Akbar". Clear sequence reported he
