South Park/Viacom possible target in confirmed Car Bomb attack in Times Square

[QUOTE="BonsaiMet"][QUOTE="albatrossdrums"] It isn't know for certain yet, but it has been suggested that the target was the Viacom building which is right nearby.Hexagon_777

But we should not have to fear people who threaten extreme violence if they have temper tantrums about someones opinion. And we shouldn't concede to them and tell them "Okay, okay, we'll change our country if you stop threatening us."

Agreed. I am a big fan of your posts in another thread concerning itself with the same subject matter. :P

No, we shouldn't. But that's what's been happening for the last how many years, making eveything 'PC' and inoffensive as possible.

I find it odd that a white man in his 40's would try to bomb times square to kill Matt and Trey.

Something there doesn't add up.

SO far as I've heard, the connection to South Park and the bombing attempt is just hearsay at the moment, and pure speculation?

anyone notice how incompetent these would-be terrorists are lately? underwear bomber fizzles out, this guy fails with a car bomb in a crowed area.. reminds me of these guys..

That would really be dumb if it was caused just cause of a satirical cartoon. I love South Park, and I believe Matt and Trey design the episodes in such a way that we always get a strong message about morality at the end. Long live South Park!DeadSarow

Yeah, like that one episode, the message really moved me. I will always remember to *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepp* :P

I don't know what he was doing it for. Maybe he is just insane. I see no reason to immediately assume he was doing it for religious reasons. Why make a jump in logic and assume a 40 year old white male was trying to bomb new york because of south park?

And this a private website, which can censor you all they want. However gamestop cannot tell me what I can or cannot say off their website. There are consequences to saying certain things in real life. There should be no consequence for making fun of someones religion, and people should not back down and say "Sorry! We'll leave you alone because violent extremists are scary!". Thats the exact opposite of what should be done. Giving into the demands of possible terrorists is a very bad idea.

Freedom of speech is not "Say what you want but if I don't like it, it's free game to murder people." and we should never strive to make it that way. America would be a pretty crappy place if we were under the holy laws of religions that we don't follow.

I'm not saying freedom of speech is bad or anything, I'm not saying there should be a consequence for making fun of someone's religion, but regardless of what people think there is one. People handle it differently and extremist handle it the worst (obviously or they won't be extremist), again it's easy to say people should back down when you aren't the one going to be bombed for it. Also it's not a matter of following the holy laws of islam, it's a matter of respect, and while extremist take things down a really stupid road, the creators of south park should have been inclined to leave this subject alone, especially with what's happening these days. I am by no means exempting islam from being made fun of what I am saying is that if you are going to do it, prepare yourself for the backlash.

On september i'm going to move in NY because i've to attend a master's degree at the poly of new york! but terrorism and crime don't worry me cause i live in Naples, one of the most awful place in the world... you should thank the "napolitan" people if you have mafia in your country!

Wow, That's actually not surprising. We're dealing with radicals here.

I can see it coming now...new censorship rules based on possible terrorist provocation.

[QUOTE="With-Hatred"]

[QUOTE="StopThePresses"] Right, because extremists associated with other religions are totally non-violent.

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="With-Hatred"]Maybe it's just western religions.

[QUOTE="With-Hatred"]

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] Did they find any weapons? Have they killed anyone yet?Snipes_2

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"]

[QUOTE="With-Hatred"]which group?

[QUOTE="With-Hatred"]

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] The Hutaree people. I wasn't really addressing you, more the person you quoted but. And by weapons I mean weapons of "MAss Destruction".

[QUOTE="albatrossdrums"][QUOTE="BonsaiMet"]So basically some terrorists tried to blow up a car bomb outside the South Park HQ just because of a joke?BonsaiMet

Somebody will always get angry and that OK. Some people turn it into a life or death matter and try to bomb you :roll:

I agree with TC, i live in NYC exactly 10 blocks from Times Square.

With the person who tried to disregard this as Americans overreacting you must have never been to Times Squareand/or live under a rock. Saturday night atTimes Square is when ithas the most tourists by far, the damage it could have done to A LOT of people makes people a little shaky.

Me personally I'm not worried but everyone is different.

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="With-Hatred"]oh, no, just guns and IEDs though

We talk about south park on this and muhhamid amongst other things and i we were drunk there as i am now lol

[QUOTE="CannedWorms"]You must like painting pictures, you talk about it a lot;). I know what you're getting at, so yes Northern Ireland is the correct term:).RiseAgainst12

But Northern Ireland is a country, so calling it the North of Ireland is incorrect. That would be like calling Scotland the North of England, doesn't seem right does it?CannedWorms
