What do you think about the recruiting office bombing in NYC
What were your gut feelings when you first heard about it?

What do you feel after thinking about it a bit?

1. I was concerned...
till I found out it was an empty building that used to be a recruiting center. Now I see it for what it is, another excuse to play the fear card.

4. I hope they catch the crazy bunghole
...and throw him or her in prison for many, many years, after (if) they are found guilty by a jury of their peers. Bombs are a serious business.

5. It was not terrorism, but vandalism
Please keep that in mind when the talking heads speak

6. I try not to think with my gut.
But, my initial thought was Agent Provocateur.

This can easily spun into look what the Looney Left Berkley protests are progressing towards...

12. Can the Faux News Crowd now be told to Shut Up, when they say there hasn't
been an attack on Der Fatherland since 9/11.

13. I immediately thought that the million dollar homes that went up in smoke the other day, were
probably more the result of the 'developer' than of eco-terrorism. Anybody can spray paint 'E.L.F.' on a sheet. The houses weren't sold, so the developer was holding the bag.

8. echoes of '68
but then I've been in a retrospective mood for several days.

Now? Hard to say what it really was. Random act of vandalism? Harbinger of what will come if McCain is elected and institutes a draft?

10. Former recruting office and probably a former electronics store or hootchy kootchy parlor
Whatever it once was - I'm suspicious.

11. It is internal terrorism, pure and simple
and I don't care who is behind it....

I am also not surprised one iota, since I am expecting these kinds of events to continue to happn

For the record, this is the first MAJOR bombing in NYC, in the last three years. We also had the grenade attacks on the British and Mexican Consulates

Oh and I am waiting with baited breath for the ... to use a Mexican Editorial writer after the bombing down there three weeks ago, politically correct explanation

16. Much ado about nothing - or less than nothing. We Americans think we are
immune from the consequences of our (government's) actions.

And, without the entire story, I am more than a little skeptical about what the truth actually is.

19. Because that is usually REAL terrorism
not a bomb planted by the CIA or whomever to make us think it was terrorism.

Clinic bombers are terrorists (for one thing the buildings usually are not empty) even if the right wing won't admit.
