The mayor was inside the residence at the time, the police department said later Saturday

The NYPD’s Bomb Squad confirmed that the devices thrown in the direction of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home were both viable IEDs.

The incident is now under investigation by both the NYPD and the FBI. In total, two devices were thrown during the protests on Saturday afternoon on Manhattan’s swanky Upper East Side.

On Sunday, police spokesperson Jessica Tisch said that the “preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday 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,” Tisch added.

We have a domestic terrorist problem, and it is exactly who it has been since the Oklahoma City bombing.

    I remember when OK City happened, and EVERYBODY immediately started blaming the Muslims, but it didn't sit right with me. Why Oklahoma? Most Muslims have never heard of Oklahoma. It seemed like a target of opportunity, rather than a target designed to have the most propaganda effect.

    And then they caught them a few days later, and sure enough, they were homegrown, right-wing whack-jobs.

    click bait headline and post.

    It was an Fascist Protest held by Nazi Jake Lang against Muslims. two counter protesters were the ones who tossed the IEDs. they WERE NOT directed at the Mayors home but at the Nazi's that were protesting nearby.

    Terrorism with IEDs is a threat to safety of all and to democracy, even if it is directed at nazis.

    Also, what do you think the Nazis do next?

    Remember when liberals were so pissed off at Mayor Adams that they threw a pipe bomb at his house? No?

    Huh. Weird.

    Video seems to indicate that the IEDs were thrown at the nazis who were grilling a pig head in front of the mayor's house.

    Why the NYPD was allowing a bbq on the sidewalk isn't clear to me yet

    I'm assuming this was an antifa BLM drag queen working for ACORN and very worked up by all the terrible, hateful rhetoric about the Republicans?

    Lol, if you actually read the article it legitimately was the counter-protestors attempting to bomb the white nationalists protesting against "Islam" outside Mamdani's residence.

    The spin here that Mamdani was the target, or in active danger from the "explosives", is incredible!

    The actual target was Jake Lang and the police protecting him and was an attack against NYPD who is actively enabling and supporting said intimidating campaign against Mamdani and does pose an actual risk to his, and his families, health and safety.

    Attacks on Republicans are committed by Republican voters

    Attacks on Democrats are committed by Republican voters
