00:01:29.880
nypd is downtown reports of a bomb they're uptown reports of a bomb midtown that doesn't matter
00:01:38.080
wherever you go uh reports of a bomb and uh this happened there was a a protest um over the weekend
00:01:46.740
uh pro-white anti-muslim uh whatever you want to call it you know you choose that's what i
00:01:56.160
that's what i recommend everyone does now don't just take anyone else's word for you pick what
0.89
00:02:01.700
you want to call it uh zoram and danny called it a white supremacy rally or something like that
00:02:07.800
and other people call it an anti-islamic takeover of new york protest uh but you know
00:02:15.340
you pick and choose it did involve bombs though that's always nice and the way the news presented
00:02:23.800
it and zora mamdani presented it he didn't make any distinction uh between the protest
00:02:30.940
which was anti-islam protest uh and who threw the bomb and if you read the story without knowing
00:02:42.440
what it was about you may think that the people protesting islam were the ones that also got
00:02:48.700
violent and threw a potentially very deadly bomb into uh the crowd of people but it was indeed
00:02:57.000
muslims anti-protesters anti-anti-muslim protesters uh it gets very confusing
00:03:05.080
and uh those are the there were two gentlemen gentlemen that uh that were arrested
00:03:13.080
for uh throwing this bomb it was a homemade kind of a uh nail bomb they call it these are made to
00:03:22.340
inflict the most damage and injury as possible it's uh shrapnel you know they wrap up nails and
00:03:30.560
other little pieces of metal, BBs, things like that,
00:03:38.580
and then you put it somewhere with a timer or you light it and throw it,
00:03:43.000
and when it explodes, a lot of stuff goes into a lot of people.
00:03:48.320
And that's what this type of bomb was that, thank God, did not go off.
00:04:00.560
oh yeah, this was definitely a deadly bomb that could have really hurt a lot of people
00:04:26.900
uh zoran says uh today in response to yesterday's protest outside gracie mansion mayor zoran
00:04:33.280
memdani released the following statement yesterday white supremacist jake lang i've never even heard
00:04:41.000
of that guy he wasn't in the pamphlets uh jake lang organized a protest outside gracie mansion
00:04:47.560
rooted in bigotry and racism now look i don't know anything about this guy i do know that
00:04:56.400
there are a lot of new yorkers that are not happy with the influx of uh islam in new york and the
00:05:05.520
uh i don't know kind of not meshing well with american customs and american uh civil society
00:05:16.120
uh so you know if you're protesting that it's racism and bigotry and whatnot but like i said
00:05:23.240
i don't know i don't know this guy i don't know this man i don't know what he does such hate has
00:05:29.000
no place in new york it is an affront to our city's values and the unity that defines who we
00:05:35.380
are unity that defines who we are there is more racially based violence going on in new york and
00:05:44.480
other democrat-run cities that pride themselves on their diversity and unity that defines them
00:05:51.860
and meanwhile the races despise each other please which are rooted in values and of unity and blah
00:06:01.220
blah uh defines who we are what followed was even more disturbing violence at a protest is never
00:06:08.780
acceptable the attempt to use explosive devices and hurt others is not only criminal it is
00:06:14.880
reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are we thank the brave men and women of the nypd
00:06:24.780
Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation,
00:06:27.960
demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes
00:06:33.240
My administration is closely monitoring the situation.
00:06:40.200
And I remain in close contact with our police commissioner.
00:06:46.680
He goes, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest, bigotry,
00:06:51.760
racism, hate has no place in New York, an affront to our values,
00:06:57.140
and then goes, what followed was even more disturbing.
00:07:01.180
No change in who this was, not a what followed was even more disturbing.
00:07:16.020
and threw an explosive device at the protesters
00:07:20.340
to clear it up a little he just said what followed was even more disturbing
00:07:25.820
implying that the same people he's talking about the bigoted racists were the ones that threw
00:07:32.280
the explosive device this is misinformation or disinformation if it's uh you know misinformation
00:07:43.880
i think is more an error oops i misinformed you disinformation seems like you you do it on purpose
00:07:52.180
let's disinform them so i believe this is disinformation uh leaving out things in order to
00:08:01.620
lead you to believe um the lie that is being told and that's exactly what happened here
00:08:14.080
I've read so many posts on social media about this, and people are on to him.
00:08:20.100
They noticed that he didn't say a word about who were the ones responsible for the deadly bombs.
00:08:28.560
It wasn't the bigoted, racist, hate-filled protesters.
0.99
00:08:33.020
it was the islamic uh jihadists the fundamentalists the people that have been uh brainwashed
0.99
00:08:43.480
and follow these uh tenets of islam that if somebody doesn't agree with you you're justified
0.89
00:08:52.480
to blow them up that's uh what i get from the whole thing that's how i seize it but uh you know
00:09:01.940
perish the thought our inclusive mayor mayor for everyone everybody's mayor unity
00:09:10.840
all that diversity perish the thought he actually says who were responsible for this
00:09:16.860
he pointed out the white supremacists he pointed out white people and bigots and racists but then
0.93
00:09:25.140
he steers clear of pointing out who the ones that were actually lighting a deadly bomb
