Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani on X - "Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner."

NYC mayor avoids 'radical Islamic terror' phrase after ISIS bomb plot - "New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned an alleged ISIS-inspired bomb plot outside Gracie Mansion but did not use the phrase "radical Islamic terror," reviving long-running criticism from the Obama era that some Democratic leaders avoid the term. Authorities said the two suspects, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, both from the Philadelphia suburbs, allegedly threw improvised explosive devices containing a compound known as the "Mother of Satan" during the protest, with one reportedly admitting he was inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Greg Kelly, the son of former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, who led New York through the aftermath of both 9/11 and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, critiqued Mamdani for calling out the protest as led by an alleged "White supremacist" but whiffing on the ideology behind suspected ISIS-supporters' actions. "Imagine that: a bomb goes off in New York City, laid by ISIS-inspired terrorists. The mayor points at White supremacy as the problem; White supremacy if only we could get rid of those White supremacists," Kelly said on his 77WABC radio program. After the alleged attack, Mamdani held a press conference with NYPD Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch and called out the "vile protest" against Islam led by January 6 defendant Jake Lang that allegedly inspired the two boys to attack... New York Democratic scion Andrew Cuomo, the former three-term governor and mayoral candidate, lambasted Mamdani’s response as well. "Had the bomb gone off … [it] literally would have done horrific damage. And the police, ironically, were closest to the bomb. Not Jake Lang," he said. "The mayor puts out a statement condemning Jake Lang. I agree. And in the second part of the statement, (he) condemns the terrorists. There is no moral equivalency: Jake Lang; bigot, hateful, of course. Yes, I agree — terrorists who bring a bomb to kill people? They are not equivalent, and this city has no tolerance for terrorism or attempted terrorists, and that statement has to be made loud and clear," Cuomo said... former Mayor Eric Adams posted his own more thorough response to the situation, saying that "no one should be surprised." "After years of hateful rhetoric and incitement, attempts to justify attacks on Jews in Israel, praise for violence like the killing of a CEO, and chants about ‘globalizing the intifada’ and ‘Death to America,’ words have now escalated into violence on the streets of New York City, with explosives being thrown," Adams said... President Donald Trump made what he described as the left’s refusal to call out "radical Islamic terrorism" a centerpiece of his 2016 platform, when he regularly criticized former President Barack Obama for failing to fully identify such attacks. "Radical Islamic terrorism, and people don't like saying that. And our president refuses to use the term. Every time another event happens, I say, 'I wonder if he'll say it this time,'" Trump said during a campaign rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He went on to criticize his 2016 opponent, former first lady Hillary Clinton, along similar lines."
Of course, left wingers blame Jake Lang, "white supremacists" and the "far right" for Islamist terror, so
Tony Lane 🇺🇸 on X - "🚨 BREAKING: The NYC mayor’s office reportedly instructed NYPD officers to prevent Jake Lang, one of the intended victims of the protest bombing, from entering a press conference this morning. Many are asking: why block the victim? ⬇️ 🇺🇸"
Was a Bomb at Gracie Mansion Zohran Mamdani’s Wake-Up Call? - "The attack is a sobering reminder that New York City remains a top target of Islamic terrorists. Moreover, it illustrates the problems with Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s hostility to policing protests—and his discomfort with naming radical Islam when it rears its head... That federal prosecutors have concurrent jurisdiction relieves New Yorkers from worrying about the challenges of a state case. A New York judge would have been legally barred from holding Balat and Kayumi in pretrial detention based on the risk they posed to the public. Local prosecutors would have been obliged to comply with the state’s onerous discovery rules, which have led to a sharp uptick in case dismissals. Unfortunately, not every serious crime in New York City will come with such a convenient federal off-ramp. Saturday’s attack also highlights the problems with Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s past discomfort with—if not explicit opposition to—how the NYPD polices protests. The Left has criticized the use of policing and surveillance assets for crowd control. Mamdani has long been a proponent of dismantling the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group (SRG)—which the city formed to respond to “citywide mobilizations, civil disorders, and major events with highly trained personnel and specialized equipment”— particularly because of how it has responded to protests... the Mamdani administration can no longer deny that protests and other large gatherings are soft targets that need to be appropriately policed. Consider the context of Saturday’s events: a provocateur, Jake Lang, whose previous demonstrations have become targets for violent counter-protests; a demonstration against radical Islam at a time when the U.S. is engaged in hostilities in the Middle East; a counter-protest scheduled at the same sensitive location, Gracie Mansion; and all events known a week in advance. In spite of all this, videos and photos taken during the dueling protests show patrol and community affairs officers, as well as supervisors in uniform, but no counterterrorism assets like SRG. This just raises more questions: Did NYPD do a threat assessment? What did it say? Why wasn’t SRG on scene? Why not have both bomb-sniffing dogs and plainclothes officers in the crowd? At a Monday afternoon press conference, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch did tell reporters that SRG was near the protest “in a backup capacity” and that they were deployed to the scene “as soon as mayhem ensued.” But why weren’t they deployed earlier? One suspects a connection to Mamdani’s dislike of the unit. Saturday’s incident further shows why Mamdani should not go ahead with plans to cancel the hiring of 5,000 additional cops over the next two years. The NYPD’s counterterrorism needs are substantial. The future risk of a mass-casualty event is clear. Meeting those challenges will be harder still for a department that is thousands of officers short of a full complement. The city got lucky on Saturday. Mamdani cannot continue to rely on luck... Mamdani should work on his public responses to such attacks. The mayor’s initial statement did not issue until the following afternoon. When it did appear, it was wholly inadequate. Mamdani began with a condemnation not of the would-be bombers but of Lang, whom he referred to by name as a white supremacist in the very first sentence. By contrast, he failed to name either of the two attackers, though their names were by then public. Nor did he allude to their motivations, despite the clear, publicly available evidence. Mamdani’s apparent reluctance to label Saturday’s attack an act of radical Islamic terrorism is no more reassuring than his opposition to policing protests"
Jessica S. Tisch on X - "The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death. Further analysis will be conducted, including on a second device. Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested on scene yesterday and are in custody in connection with this matter. The NYPD is working on this investigation with our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI through our Joint Terrorism Task Force. I want to again thank the brave members of the NYPD who ran towards the danger without hesitation and quickly apprehended the suspects."

Violent protest is good when it pushes the left wing agenda. Peaceful protest is bad when it impedes it.

(8) Rebekah Jones - This is the only information that has been... | Facebook - "This is the only information that has been established as *fact* re: attack on Mamdani's home. White supremacist and domestic terrorist Jake Lang brought a mob of other dangerous criminals to Mayor Mamdani's house for a small hate rally. His mob initiated violence, according to statements from police. The first arrest police made was one of Lang's thugs for attacking a counter-protestor unprovoked. That's getting next to zero press coverage. During the attack on Mamdani's home by the cosplay Nazis, two men from Pennsylvania ran up to the crowd and threw IEDs at Mamdani's house. Even though there's no evidence to suggest these men were connected to EITHER group of protesters, and even though this was an attack on Mamdami's home during a violent Nazi "protest," the media ecosystem is working overtime to paint the Nazis as victims. Excuse me if I've gotten my Nazis crossed, but isn't Lang the guy who tried to coerce his way into a DAYCARE not long ago, demanding to "see the children?" The same guy who didn't know how null data works in a date field, then lied and said he spoke to a woman who said she never voted when be never actually spoke to her? Same guy who begged a trans woman to save him when he was rightfully getting his ass beat in Minnesota? The same guy who has been re-arrested multiple times - including LAST MONTH! - since being released from prison only a year ago? Lang is an actual domestic terrorist who did four years IN PRISON for committing acts of terrorism, has been released all of a year and has already been re-arrested, and they actually want you to believe his violent mob was the *target* of an attack against a Muslim mayor... which they're now claiming was orchestrated.....by a Muslim radical. When a black man was falsely accused of hitting police with snowballs a few weeks ago, MAGA, the NYPD, and social media whipped out his previous arrest (related to a YouTube prank in which a person reported a robbery even though it was a skit) to paint him as a hardened criminal. "BUT they're investigating it as terrorism!" They investigated a car crash at Rainbow Bridge as potential terrorism, too. It wasn't. They claimed police office"
