"We are Jeffrey Epstein".
WOW. Just WTF...
Are they openly admitting now that they are a bunch of pedophiles and everyone should be okay with that?
This can't be true.
Shout out to the Professional Douche. He got a picture of the guy throwing it over his head.

Remember when liberals were so pissed off at Mayor Adams that they threw a pipe bomb at his house? No?
Huh. Weird.
Video seems to indicate that the IEDs were thrown at the nazis who were grilling a pig head in front of the mayor's house.
Why the NYPD was allowing a bbq on the sidewalk isn't clear to me yet
So not that I contest your point but the article says the bombs were thrown by counter protesters. Not the anti Islam protesters
We have a domestic terrorist problem, and it is exactly who it has been since the Oklahoma City bombing.
I remember when OK City happened, and EVERYBODY immediately started blaming the Muslims, but it didn't sit right with me. Why Oklahoma? Most Muslims have never heard of Oklahoma. It seemed like a target of opportunity, rather than a target designed to have the most propaganda effect.
And then they caught them a few days later, and sure enough, they were homegrown, right-wing whack-jobs.

click bait headline and post.
It was an Fascist Protest held by Nazi Jake Lang against Muslims. two counter protesters were the ones who tossed the IEDs. they WERE NOT directed at the Mayors home but at the Nazi's that were protesting nearby.
Oh, so that’s why the news is allowed to talk about this.
Terrorism with IEDs is a threat to safety of all and to democracy, even if it is directed at nazis.
Also, what do you think the Nazis do next?
Oh no, the Nazis will get violent! Oh wait, they already are? And have the state supporting and performing their violence? Oh....

So the article says the explosives were thrown by counter protesters. I don't support the Nazis but idk if this fits the narrative here
Okay... It's been a long weekend apparently.
I'm assuming this was an antifa BLM drag queen working for ACORN and very worked up by all the terrible, hateful rhetoric about the Republicans?
Lol, if you actually read the article it legitimately was the counter-protestors attempting to bomb the white nationalists protesting against "Islam" outside Mamdani's residence.
The spin here that Mamdani was the target, or in active danger from the "explosives", is incredible!
The actual target was Jake Lang and the police protecting him and was an attack against NYPD who is actively enabling and supporting said intimidating campaign against Mamdani and does pose an actual risk to his, and his families, health and safety.
It sounds like an unfortunate lack of consequences for those Nazis.
FoxNews Entertaint is going to get someone killed.
They already have - via Trump, who watches them religiously.
Every piece of modern right wing terrorism can probably be traced back to highly right wing media.
This shouldn’t be happening, but we live in Amerikkka.
