#NBCNews #Machete #NYPD
imagine what one indoctrinated person can do? Its a good thing he is so Stupid in his attack. what will happen if someone that knows how to think and knows how to plan does it
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you
Wow, he just threw his life away for nothing
nah, he might get a machete sponsor gig out of it ~ considering how many thug-life rappers get endorsements.
He was hoping to die and go to heaven for his 72 virgins. A True man of Faith, the most contagious disease on the planet.
@Peter Longprong exactly, Snoop Dog being the main one
They will be asking him to join the NYPD tomorrow.
He’ll get out soon.
Lol – his letter, “Give me a Muslim burial…unless I die. In that case, I’m sorry, mom.”
He’s lucky he only got hit in the shoulder. As many officers that were there, he’s lucky there was anything left of him.
You mean the police officers are lucky that they didn’t hit an innocent bystander… how Reckless do you have to be to shoot into a crowd at a person that has a knife?
@NiNi J a MACHETE
Why Justin Timberlake? Why?
Give this man bail. That’s the New York way.
So you think poor people should stay locked up while people with money get out on bail for the same crime.
@Lea Garner same crime? comical. liberal bail reform has ruined NYC.
@Bryan Mannoia So, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Yeah, same crime. The problem has been that those with low resources, who don’t have bail money, end up staying behind bars and losing their job, their home, while others committing the same crime pay a fee and walk out. That’s what this is about. You didn’t know.
That’s not a machete, it’s a kukri.
Ah yes… the religion of “peace” strikes again 🤣
Ilhan Omar married her Brother 🤣🤣🤣
bigfoot?
You called
@Religious as Bigfoot ah ha lol
seriously? a native American Muslim?
No, he’s a fraud
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why don’t they tell about his will in backpack? A new convert to Islam, advised his mom to convert for the fear of hellfire.. and advised his brother to follow the suit and repent for being a Christian, detested his another brother because he’s a marine..
Was on way to Afghanistan..
People simply need to understand if there is God up there he would show up atleast.. there is no proof of God. Yet these foolish Wannabes kills innocent ppl.
Exactly, no proof of his existence at all ⚛
Why are the crazies always so hot.
She said 2 officers was struck with the machete but then say 3 officers was released from the hospital earlier today. How many officers was injured? This is so sad…
poor kid
I hope those officers were vaccinated
You couldn’t pay me to live in New York. Rats.
KERALA IS WORLD TERRORISTS CENTER
Ban guns. Because that stopped a machete attack.
A (possible) attack of Terror, what’s Upsetting for the Altra left media is the Fact it was Not the Proud boys , The difference is Muslims Attack there Objective But let’s all start playing this down
Domestic terrorism- get him of the streets – attempted murder – we don’t need to share our collective American values with his reckless radicalized lunacy . 🕉 🦖 ☄️
Sending prayers for our officers in NYC
This is my home.. don’t be pulling your sh!t you lil b!TCH‼️
we should ban guns, thatll make all these angry people go away
White guy did what!?
Lol what a dork
NYC…what a fun place to visit
This can happen anywhere, and it has. New York Really is fun. This was just a glitch.
liberaltopia isn’t what it used to be. the criminals love it though.
Take Florida. Same amount of crazies with better tropical weather.
Ban bans!
Please pray for this hero
When black people want to get ya, its because of your property and goods. When white people want to get ya, its for no reason at all..
And you people are scared of black people..lol.
Man I was disappointed that the stunning and brave man didn’t get to yeet as many as cops as he did. Oh well he try again next time when he gets out on bail by a incompetent, corrupted judge.
In their radar but waited till he almost killed two people 🙄
Smh
looking like a jew lol
Lol what a silly goose . Release him on bail and tell him he’s a good guy do do it again .
white republican trump voter, are we surprised ? When are going to hold white republicans responsible? When will we as society demand they be removed from society?
What!!!??? He was shot in the back 10 times while handcuffed or no officer kneeled on his neck for 9 minutes???
Guess he didn’t get the black treatment in Amerikkka.
arthurmurphy2000
Oh oh wait, I get it!!
This is false narrative black humor.
@Frederick Caponi wow! You’re sharp as a butter knife or should I say machete:)
I knew he was because the shot him I’m the arm
Maybe he was in fear of his life, so he simply stood his ground.
Another psycho murder.
Criminals are emboldened these days. Hope 2023 is different.
Not a mass shooting this time. Good on you US for changing it up. But im sure they will be back to mass shooting next week.
😭😭😭
Lucky guy I guess?
Another American White Supremacist Terrorists Attract In New York City Not Foreign Terrorists Americans Terrorists
Legend
Why all the description and fuss now, when you can just say loser attacked police and was shot.
😂 He shared Jihad reviews. Sure, even the Jihadist are like “WTF bro”
Yeah yeah the so called ” Religion of Peace” has nothing to do with this, we get it.
Yeah. Religion of peace has nothing to do with it. That religion against killing innocent humann.
Just like your religion kills Ukrainian.
Jeez the first new year new york stabbing of man who was killed over a dispute didn’ teven get this type of coverage I guess that’s not interesting enough
These young stupid kids. They think it will give them some respect and notoriety.
The rascist cops are investigating this as an act of terror! Based on what? Looks like someone got payback for the hundreds of thousands of unsolved and missing person cases that you know the police are responsible for. All cops are murder suspects.
based on the terrorist propaganda they found in his backpack and him expressing terrorist views at the hospital? either you’re incredibly stupid or didn’t even watch the video.
People should take mental health seriously or might be New York City full of depressed men can’t get laid over girls
I love how he was on a terror watch list and nothing was done.
@Cody Hopkins extremism is NOT protected under the constitution…
@ARTHUR MURPHY sure does. i have the “privilege” of being a victim of 13% of the population. i have the “privilege” of having to pay another person money because of what they look like. hey why dont you just sayin thank you to all those pale skinned people for ya know electricity, the airplane, the automobile, the computer, the x-ray, the MRI, the end of slavery (in counrty AND worldwide), nuclear power and NOW nuclear FUSSION?
@Sany Tubdoor Yup! All built on the backs and 100’s of years of free labor in Amerikkka. Sure I’ll say thanks when you go extinct.
@Sany Tubdoor that’s some pretty extremist views you are shouting out right now. Remind me what you said about extremism? Are you saying we should lock you up now cause you espoused some extremist viewpoints?
@Cody Hopkins those arent extremists views. those are facts dude. and stop trying to sound smart like a trypical “too stupid to understand whats in the bill” democrat. tell me im wrong. did white people not give the worl everything i mentioned PLUS some? whats the continent of africa given the world?
What a moron…
If he was a black guy he would be dead with 50 gunshot wounds.
If it had been a victim that’s islamic, thered be million of riots, led by Ilan Omar….
pizza worker was soft
THE ANTICHRIST IS IN CHARGE OF ALL THIS MESS.
APOCALYPSE CHAPTER 6🏹🇵🇰🏹
He got hit in the shoulder bc of his white skin. An Arab or a Black man would’ve been terminated on the spot. Attacking police with a machete?!
So he strikes two officers and get shot in the shoulder but let him would’ve looked like me he would’ve be DOA Smh
Isn’t that a Gurkha fighting knife?
https://youtu.be/gWHhyg4zALA
Do that where we live.. he’d be face up at the medical examiners office…
Don’t worry public Hochul won’t fail you he’ll be out in a month on Mental Health Challenge
Forget to put their picture on the thumbnail. Must be some innocent jogger!
Young man risk his life for cause that means nothing to him
Garbage Parenting.
religion.
He’s doing a lot of Time!!!!
We need more heroes like him.
Go for it.
@Simon Says I’m making more of an impact as a teacher.
@Kevin He do a skool-sh00ter 😂 they won’t ever see it coming
@Eric asdf never
The religion of peace strikes again
America, America 🎶
A wannabe Taliban.
Where he wanted to be buried? Dude your body will be thrown off a cliff and fed to the planet. You’re not going to be honored like a king.
Go after soccer moms,f.j.b.
give him the death penalty and wrap his corpse in bacon before burying it as far away from “mecca” as possible. still too good for this waste of humanity.
Ban machetes
NEWSMAX RUNS THE TWITTER FILES REPORT DAILY, WHILE NBC CONTINUES TO HIDE, CENSORE AND COVER UP THE TWITTER FILES REPORT WEEK 5
Sounds about white
Why is that lady pushing people away from entering the Italian shop?!
Why you didn’t show his Mugshot photo, like you do blacks.
I *BET* If He Lived With Those Terrorists For a Week Before This Happened…This Wouldn’t Have Happened at All.🤔
(He Wants to “Admire” those Terrorists… *DEPORT* Him *TO* Those Terrorists!)
Then Wait&See How Long it Takes For Him to Beg to Return.
Praise God these policemen are on the mend!
Wells maine
This is a extremist not a Muslim.
But I thought that guns were the problem 🤔
So you see…anything can be used as a weapon!
Blowback. This is the CIA term to explain these attacks. What did you expect. You cant invade and attack the middle east and Ukraine and not expect a fight dum Americans
God bless all the police officers who risk there lives to protect our Great job keep up the good work
Cant believe the cops didn’t shoot him to death , oh that white skin saved him . WOW!
Islam. Are we still sayings the religion created by a slaver warlord child r pest is the religion of peace?
Thank god no one was seriously hurt in this ATTACK.
that is terrible, I am glad he got caught, and that the police are ok. I hope he gets what he deserves for the stupidity he did.
This is why I vote democratic!!! So you are going to blame the attacker and treat him like a criminal rather than deal with the real problem? The police should have asked that boy to stop!!!
False flag detected. Muslim and dog pet usually don’t mix together. Lol
In the shoulder? Thats to bad, they need better training to eliminate the threat, permanently.
Guess we gotta ban machetes now right?
Jews doing terror now, how the tabels have turned.
He didn’t act alone. He’s been immersing himself in online echo chambers to reinforce his beliefs. Sounds like he’s religious so I’m sure he’s in contact with religious “authorities” who probably reinforced his beliefs. Seems like he had quite a few mental issues and the authorities were well aware of it and did nothing. Seems like mental health should be prioritized so this kind of stuff doesn’t happen instead of holding a press conference to say “hey look what a good job we did” after the fact. How many times could have authorities intervened prior to this? I’m sure the various law enforcement agencies records indicate it. Might want to look into that to get a more complete picture of this story. Of course I doubt CNN will do that as incompetence and corruption and a near absence of a mental health care system are not nearly as sensational.
Revolver in a pizza box….what a world.
