— The Daniels Group August 7, 2019 The confusion took place around 10 p.m. Tuesday near 7th Avenue and 46th Street, according to CNN affiliate WLNY. That confusion turned to fear and then chaos, as seen in video from above, but police quickly announced that there was nothing to fear."There is no #ActiveShooter in #TimesSquare. Motorcycles backfiring while passing through sounded like gun shots," the NYPD Midtown North said on Twitter.
America got ptsd
And America trying to talk shit on the Dominican Republic. 😂
A sign of the times sadly AmericaRunningScared
This is the definition of Terrorism.
Welcome to America ladies and gentlemen you never know when you’ll be safe. People are now afraid of anything that sounds remotely similar to a gun shot. We are I 240+ shootings this year alone lets see when the year is over.
Sad part is that people are generally so scared 😥
Anybody remember that movie The Siege with Denzel Washington? There's a scene from the movie similar to what happened today only instead of a bike backfiring it was a bus
I bet there's some elitist right now tapping his fingers together with a menacing smile and evil laugh saying 'it's all going according to plan.' While watching this video.
America is too divided with religion and they have too many guns
StevenFulop Mr Fulop, We May have one car in Jersey City heights with this type of similar sound. First time I heard it, I was home and sadly, I reacted the same way, as these people. Please inform JCPD. JCmakeityours
This NYer isn’t afraid. I run towards those sounds.
We are ALL in panic mode across the country, I refuse to go out unless it’s necessary! My choice to keep “some” peace in my life. 💔
The constant politically fueled coverage of mass shootings is what causes people to be hysterical and that is how the democrats wants everyone. Scared little sheep.
Sad commentary.
motogp19 is to blame, it should be banned on PS4 xbox and PC also
I really need you´re help now guys. It´s an emergency. Im late with August rent and me and my daughter will get evicted. Please read more on my GoFundMe page. Please Retweet.
😂😂😂😂
😔
Ya. Felt that this weekend. I knew motorcycles had passed so I didn’t panic but boy gunshots was my very first thought.

very neiltyson voice: intake leaks are a common cause for engine backfire and it's good practice to change your spar...
RosieM1919 This. Is not the country I want to live in.
This government has terrorized us all!!
DiglerDerp Fear negates freedom. Another strike at our democracy. People should get it together or we really will lose what we have taken advantage of for a long...long...long time: OUR FREEDOM. HouseFloor SenateFloor ABC bpolitics CBS CNBC MSNBC NBC
Collective Madness USA Guns Weapons
Yet journalists and mainstream media take ZERO responsibility in perpetuating MassShootings. 24/7 coverage of these events and naming the perpetrator only serves to create CopycatCrimes. Psychos want attention and infamy. AND nobody’s talking about this. A crying shame!
I guess blowing up a paper bag and popping it would be in poor taste uh?
That’s a crazy site to see!!
Thanks NRA GOP
America is in trouble with itself. Shame!
Wow we’ve reached a point of paranoia thanks to the inaction of our authorities
Cant trust anything in this country anymore. Thanks dump.
MisterOWL9 That’s why you don’t go to time square
Heartbreaking reality of the times we live in.
What people fail to acknowledge is that 80% of these people are tourist , everyone knows New Yorkers don’t give a fuck about anything🤣
Shithole, scary country!
This is very sad we're all terrified these shootings are causing all of us to be hyper aware and sensitive this is no way to live.
Where’s Rick Dalton to run out in his robe and margarita pitcher yelling “Fix you’re f—-ing muffler!” when you need him? OnceUponATimeHollywood
bernamaradio Ban backfiring motorcycle
Thank you , Trump
Should have been a Supra with anti lag. 🤷♂️😂😂😂
America is at War with themselves.
Turn off your TVs and the news America.
sad how traumatized our country is.
This is Trump’s USA. 😥
People panic across US hearing loud noises. They react like people with PTSD hearing loud noises and loud bangs. Could most Americans have PTSD from mass deadly shootings?
Good thing it was not a black guy on that motorcycle...cause the cops would have shot him.
Looks like CNN’s plan to have people live in terror worked. Good job.
That's terrible.
Where are the gun owners running towards the danger to save lives?
Oh shit. Time to ban cars and motorcycles
Conceal and carry saves you 😂😂😂😂
Damn, see how they got the whole country scared asf. This aint right. This is not ok
Guys these news stations are fear mungers they want you to be scared... seek Jesus and you’ll be protected from all evil and have eternal life.
This is what a gun free zone looks like, defenseless people fleeing.
Take note, the panicked people die in times of chaos. Those that remain calm and deliberate survive. TimesSquare
And the beat goes on
The nation is on edge.
Fix yourself America GunControl
Where is Ross Gellher?
Un país enfermo que promueve el miedo y el odio.
Are we great yet?
This was terrifying to be a part of
Ban motorcycle exhausts that are load.
Republicistan, where Republican Talibans won't allow sensible changes in laws to be made.
This is country we NOW live in!
Mother Mary pray for us.
Look at what America comea to, these people is living in total fear, who do you thing causes all this, you see when you feed a nation on junk, it becomes a funkie.
Classic Americans never learn.
I can’t imagine living in a constant state of fear like that. But that’s the price of having a spineless government who caters to a subversive pro militia organization instead of its citizens. Disgusting. Immoral. Evil.
Wow Just Wow
In an open carry state, that would be a bloodbath.
Sad
Am I a horrible human being for thinking of this? 🙊
ThisIsAmerica
Guys on motorcycles be like...
Gun!!!!!!
The terror has already been planted, terrorism is winning. ;(
Jesus Christ America, is this what we’ve become?
Must be great forcing your countrymen to live on the edge where the slightest bang causes absolute panic.
UROCKlive1 That’s happening more & more too!
Lemmings....
I think about look like the film World war Z.
This is how America has become ‘’Making America Great Again’’ 💔💔💔
America is almost fully rooted (Australian for fucked) and 1 more year of trump should complete the rooting!
Everyone seems to get nervous about noises due to the serial mass shootings.
A solution to this would be to outlaw internal combustion engines & switch everything to electric, that way none will mistake confusing the two. The other is to change the gun culture despite ppl needing guns to protect themselves against the government that they elected.
People have a right to be on edge, at this point, sadly!! Better safe than sorry.
Civilised society!
Welcome to America! The land of the guns (free?)
We're not a free nation when we live in fear
Terrorism in America.
If you are scared, go cross the border into Mexico and live your best life. They will set you up in a condo with awesome showers, clean water to drink and healthcare till you drop.
US should be invaded there is too many terrorists that should be killed.
Crazy
If only there was a good guy with a backfiring motorbike none of this would have happened americanlogic
The fact you Democrats blame President Trump for 'Everything' truly shows how ate up you all are! You should seriously consider getting help!
Its pathetic that in America any sound nowdays can be mistaken for gunshots.
This is what the GOP and NRA have turned the society in to!
Ban sound, or hearing, or both ... the alternative solution is unthinkable
This is so sad!
I’m so glad our president has created such a safe place for his citizens. I’d tag realDonaldTrump in this but he’s probably golfing...
Hey NRA do u see this
America. lol
In any other city outside of a warzone, people would jump at the noise, look around and go on with their day. Because strong gun laws.
Media and leftists exploit tragedies for emotional political gains Constantly bombarding the public with irrational fears Pussification
GOP will probably respond to this like. 'We need a ban on motorcycles' and 'it is Obama's fault' 😂😂😂
There is fear everywhere
Smh idk if this is funny or sad smh
Your vile fake news & the Democrats did this
草木皆兵
finally American fiction movies are going to be realized!
Now they will decide to go to war in some foreign country to make Americans safe again.
Breaking news: Loud noises scare people
Yep, that's literally how it is here. I can't even hear a car backfire without fearing for my life.
AmericaScared
Ban motorcycles also
America govt. played the bully and hurt so many countries, Libya 🇱🇾, Syria 🇸🇾, Afghanistan 🇦🇫 and so many other countries all for their gain. I am just glad their own enemy is within not blacks or Mexicans .
Notice how they changed it from 'suicide bomber' to 'shooter'. Interesting.
Conservatives are turning the USA into a war zone. It is necessary to remove them from office and guns from the streets.
The new America.....how sad.
The peoples are sics
This is trump’s America.
This is exactly where politicians & the NRA wants us scared & running.
This reminds me of FRIENDS Season 9 Episode 6 - The One With The Ride-Along
UROCKlive1 Is it possible for an entire country to be going through PTSD?
'Freedom' in America.
