    They're showing the pressure cooker that authorities found on CNN. Looks pretty small, about the size of piece of printer paper. Looks like a MP3 player tbh.

    glad i wasn't in manhattan tonight & also that no one appears to be dead or seriously injured.

    can't stand these f---ing idiots... how do you say something is "intentional" but then say it wasn't terrorism. an intentional act to invoke harm and fear is literally terrorism.

    compared to other parts of manhattan, not really. there are a few gay bars in murray hill and then a larger gay contingency in the west village and lower east side. i know as much as everyone else but that definitely wasn't the motive

    oh, are you sure? was pretty certain for something to be considered terrorism like that it needs to have political or religious motive but ill take your word for it

    equally horrible of course not that important of a distinction in this case

    I'm so glad nobody died. This could have been a lot worse.

    Wishing all who are injured a full and speedy recovery.

    There was 3 bombs (that I heard, the two in NY and the other in Jersey), all called intentional... not called terrorism? They even talked about how the bombs made were shown how to be made in an Al Qaeda online article...
    If a terrorist act makes you nervous to call it a terrorist act, didn't the terrorists in fact win? So afraid to even call it what it is... I mean.. :srsguy:

    The reason authorities are so uptight about what to label this is because it dictates how they go about investigating and what departments get involved. The legal definition of terrorism has to be an act that's politically motivated. They haven't found proof of that yet.

    i don't buy the gay bomber manifesto thing from tumblr. if you're trying to raise awareness of how gay people are being treated, why are you making a bomb and putting it near an area with quite a few gay bars?
