[quote=Anonymous]“The guy who threw the bomb at cops in New York on Saturday looked like he came straight from progressive central casting—hungry, with sunken cheeks under a pile of dark curly hair, clothes hanging loosely off a lithe frame. He seemed so young and athletic during the fence-leap and ensuing footchase, like a beautiful wild animal being pursued by angry zookeepers.

Taylor Romine (UC Berkeley ’16, Columbia J-School ’18) works for CNN out of its Los Angeles bureau—the ideal perch from which to track the latest on the ISIS-inspired terrorist attack on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Ms. Romine’s Tuesday morning story on “what we know so far” has been widely mocked for its breathless opening, summarized in a quickly deleted tweet:

‘Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs.’

My word. Close your eyes and let me tell you a story: Nineteen Arab gentlemen boarded commercial airliners one clear September morning for what could’ve been a normal day in the friendly skies over New York and Washington . . .

The left has a type. Rolling Stone gave Dzhokhar Tsarnaev the teen-dream treatment mere months after he and his brother killed three people, including 8-year-old Martin Richard, at the 2013 Boston Marathon. The Tsarnaev brothers maimed many, many more. A new generation of lefty ladies fell hard for Luigi Mangione, that fit bit of business who killed a man in cold blood because he hated health insurance so much.

To state what ought to be obvious: Throwing a homemade bomb into a crowd of people is an evil thing to do. It deserves neither praise nor admiration. Those guys are going to spend a long, long time in jail, and they deserve it. If you’re tempted to romanticize what they did, take a breath—or a cold shower—and come back to reality.”
