NBCNewYork POTUS wants you afraid, it's his only move, figure out an angle, work it into a lather, then 'he's your pal' keeping your secret. A nation afraid don't blame a guy turning a light on to what's 'already there', they send 'thoughts & prayers' & wait for him to turn the light off.

Panic erupts in Times Square over shooting false alarmPanic erupted in Times Square late Tuesday night after a motorcycle backfired and caused fears of a possible active shooter. The NYPD said it received multiple 911 calls about the incident. There have been no reports of injuries. How loud was that backfire? Especially in NYC. I live in a quiet neighborhood & once in a blue moon a backfire is scary. Did the person on the ground in the teal shirt get ran over lol wtf Our country is on edge and rightfully so. Thankfully this was just a false alarm, but really shows insight into how we are feeling with all the mass shooting in the US. We are scared and need gun law reform now.

‘New York Times’ Amends Recent ‘Hero Trump Disarms Would-Be Shooter’ HeadlineNEW YORK—Following backlash from journalists, politicians, and the public, The New York Times announced Tuesday that it had amended a headline from the morning’s front page reading “Hero Trump Disarms Would-Be Shooter.” “The original headline did not live up to our standards of objectivity at The New York Times and has thus been changed to ‘Trump Gives Speech’ in order to more accurately represent the president’s recent actions,” said executive editor Dean Baquet in response to criticism that the piece inaccurately framed the president as a champion of racial harmony and lionhearted hero who acted alone to stop a white national terrorist plot. “We were wrong to imply that President Trump courageously rushed into an active-shooter situation inside a Washington, D.C. gas station, held the gunman in a chokehold until he dropped his weapon, and then provided first-aid to casualties, thus single-handedly preventing more bloodshed. We deeply regret intimating that the shooter realized the error of his ways and denounced his bigoted beliefs after a tough-love conversation with Mr. Trump. Readers will see that these statements have been retracted from the second edition.” At press time, the new headline, “Trump Gives Speech” had been changed to “Unifier-In-Chief Provides Hope To Fractured Nation.” nytimes During the Election, The New York Times published thousands of stories about Clinton email/Benghazi, not one on Trumps lifelong ties to NY/Russian mob. As if The New York Times wasn't in a particularly knowledgeable position to report on 70 years of NYC construction & mob history nytimes snopes where you at! nytimes The news media has become beholden by the left. They dictate the headlines for articles now. The thing is, Trump did push for unity, not racism in the speech. How was the headline wrong?
