I never understand the news.
It was revealed that there was an amteurish attempt to create and detonate a car bomb in Time Square recently. The failed attempt resulted in some smoke emanating from the car and some street vendors notifying the police.
All reports suggest that due to the faulty design it could not have detonated. Additionally we all know that car bombs don’t sit around smoking as a warning. They ignite immediately and those standing around do not have much time to call for assistance or report a problem.
Yet much of the political news lately has been about the importance of noticing your surroundings and politicians praising those people who notified authorities and ‘saved hundreds of lives’, and calling them heroes.
Do you get this?
