On Saturday night, a pressure bomb exploded in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, leaving 29 people injured.
Despite that pesky fact, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes is thankful it was a BOMB, not a gun.
I wonder if he would say that to those injured by the bomb. Anyway, the people of Twitter had a field day.
Haye’s pal, Sam Stein, decided to join in.
A man stabbed nine people at a Minnesota mall over the weekend. But guess what! An OFF-DUTY COP SHOT the suspect before he could do more harm. Hhhhmmmm… interesting fact.
In 1927, Andrew Kehoe bombed the Bath Consolidated School in Bath Township, Michigan. The explosion killed 38 children and six adults, leaving 58 injured.
That picture is the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City after Timothy McVeigh detonated a bomb there on April 19, 1995. The explosion killed 168 people and injured 680 others. The victims ranged between 3 months to 73 years old. In total, 19 children died.
The Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013, killed 3 people and injured 264. The bombers also used pressure cooker bombs. These are the victims:
Pesky little fact that guns actually helped the police capture Ahmad Khan Rahami, the man behind the attack. Oh wait. Rahami had a gun on him when police surrounded him:

The shooter then began running down the street with several police cars trailing him, the witness, Peter Bilinskas, said.
The police also linked him to a bomb that exploded in New Jersey on the same route at a Marine Corps charity run.
Later Sunday night, the police found a “backpack with multiple bombs inside” in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
