NYPD: ‘Envelope Of White Powder’ Was Attached To Suspicious Device

NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill said Wednesday that when law enforcement officers responded to a report of a suspicious device at the Time Warner Center, they also recovered “an envelope of white powder that was discovered as part of that original packaging.”

“We are in the middle investigating that right now,” O’Neill said.

The suspicious device itself, O’Neill said, “appeared [to responding officers] to be a live explosive device.”

John Miller, the NYPD deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism, said “so far, the devices have been what appear to be pipe bombs.”

  1. And that Privileged White Goddess Meghan McCain - who is almost as intelligent, charming, and witty as “The Other White Meat” Megyn Kelly - was on “The View” trying the “both sides” analogy by comparing pipe bombs to poor Mitch and Elaine not being able to finish their dinner. Well, boo-fucking-hoo, darlin’!

    The only reason McCain ever had a job on TV was because she was a Senator’s daughter, and the only reason she was spared from ridicule for so long was because her father was battling brain cancer. Well, John McCain is gone and buried, and I don’t recall my parents’ battles with a deadly disease sparing me from criticism and ridicule, so this is for you, Meghan McCain, and it is just what you deserve:

    I’ll be interested to see what the powder is. Was it supposed to be a separate threat from the bomb or to be dispersed by it?

  3. Probably a BC powder. Pipe bombs can give you a severe headache!
