Watching the news the mayor said the parade is still a go though a greater police presence will be called for. Good on the mayor for moving ahead and not tucking tail.

I agree, these people want to create a reaction, denying them that satisfaction is the best course of action IMHO.

Up to 8 dead last report.

A friend and three others of my kids were there on the last day of a four day visit and witnessed some of the incident but thankfully none of them were harmed.

My thoughts and prayers to those who lost loved ones.

Years ago, I knew a lady from Israel who told me their country has a policy to return a scene of a terror attack to normal as quickly as possible; they have special teams who clean up and restore a site so as to deny the terrorists any lingering evidence of their acts and to exhibit the Israeli will to continue on with life in spite of threats...

5 Argentinian friends amongst the dead, celebrating the 30th jubilee of their school exams, and for that went to NY.

Mayor babbling about that it is not about religion: nothing changes, stupid stays stupid. Get beaten on the one cheek - say "nobody beat me", and hold the other one. An ideology's content that motivates people according to its content - and victims claim that ideology's content nevertheless has nothing to do with it: hilarious. Ridiculous. Laughable. Retarded. Cynical. Man-hating. Masochistic. Murderous. In contempt of life. In mockery of reason.

Religion is the Alpha and Omega of it.

Yes, I was told the same by an Israeli, once. This done on the public surface, and unforgiving determination behind the curtain of the public stage, to find and make the other side, and those who tolerate and support such acts, pay.

I'm sick of these idiots using religion as an excuse to kill.

Why can't they just kill themselves (and maybe some politicians) and leave it at that!!
