We will have to wait and see

Very sad either way

//CBS says New York City Police are telling them the incident is not connected to terrorism.//

Just seen this bit

[Baldric]

If the Media is to be believed it is most likely Mental Illness!

[Mamyalynne]

No - awful though.

[Mamyalynne]

I hadn't read that in the links I accessed Baldric.

[mikey4444]

NO sign yet of that Bazile

[hc4361]

I've read that the driver has a record of drink driving

[sp1814]

hc4361 is correct. The driver has two previous DWI convictions.

[hc4361]

Not a terrorist attack

[mikey4444]

No Muslims involved either.

[naomi24]

Not sure we can say he wasn't Muslim, Mikey. A drunk, apparently so, but who knows the rest?

[Mamyalynne]

No drink in his system but high on synthetic marijuana.


Only been out of the Navy 3 years.

[naomi24]

So not a drunk driver then?

[Mamyalynne]

Apparently not today it appears, absolutely tragic for all those involved of course.

[Peter Pedant]

drunken vet apparently

veteran not veterinarian

[naomi24]

Mamyalynne, Absolutely! Actually, it's hard to imagine anyone speeding in Time Square. I can't recall seeing traffic there going at anything but a crawl. Such a busy place!!

[Mamyalynne]

The report must be wrong then, it serves me right for believing it.

Sorry.

[Mamyalynne]

I agree Naomi, it must have happened so suddenly, terrifying.

[naomi24]

Indeed.
