[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two idiots not involved in any terrorist organization.  Now they go to jail as failures.  [/quote]

They pledged allegiance to ISIS.  That’s all I need to know.  And we don’t know yet if they were or weren’t involved in any organization. [/quote]

I’m genuinely curious why most of the news coverage, including lots of posts in the NYC subreddit, totally fail to mention that these kids showed up as counter protestors of Jake Lang’s hateful anti Muslim rally. Lang was a violent Jan 6 criminal, pardoned by Trump. I’m wondering if the nyc reddit has been overrun by trolls because so many posts tried to downplay this piece, claiming there was some Kumbaya peaceful protest going on.

I think the people who threw the makeshift explosives should be prosecuted but I find this imbalanced coverage notable [/quote]

So tell us - who among the Jake Lang rally attacked anyone?

And your characterization of these two [b]terrorists [/b]is simultaneously laughable and pathetic.  "These kids"??  They had improvised explosive devices designed to seriously injure and kill people.  What kind of person are you?  Talk about trying to "downplay" what ACTUALLY happened... the Lang rally is frankly, irrelevant in light of what these ISIS-aligned terrorists tried to do.  Find your sense of proportionality.   :roll:

"These were not hoax devices nor smoke bombs. They were improvised explosive devices that could have caused serious injury or death," Tisch said, referring to two devices thrown on Saturday.

[b]The non-violent rally[/b] attracted counter-protesters. Officials say Balat and Kayumi traveled from Pennsylvania, then allegedly targeted the right-wing protesters with the explosive devices.

According to Tisch, at least one of the devices was made with triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, a chemical widely used by IED bomb-makers around the world.

"Devices like these have the potential to cause devastating harm," she said.

On Monday, federal officials with the U.S. Attorney's office in the Southern District of New York unsealed charges against Balat and Kayumi that include allegedly providing "material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization" and "use of a weapon of mass destruction."

"These were ISIS-inspired actions," Clayton said. "Violence, particularly violence that has a terrorist bent, violence that is meant to chill free speech, violence that is meant to prevent us from gathering peaceably, will be met with swift justice."
