On Saturday, The New York Post<\/a> reported that two homemade explosive devices were tossed outside Gracie Mansion Saturday. There were two competing protests going on there at the time–one against the war in Iran and one supporting the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Counter protester Emir Balat, 18, lit and threw the first device into the crosswalk of East 87th Street and East End Avenue, where it struck a barrier and later extinguished itself, police said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second person, who has been tentatively identified as 19-year-old Ibrahim Nikk, allegedly handed the device to Balat, authorities said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Balat is alleged to have lit a second improvised explosive which he dropped on while running on East End Avenue between East 86th and East 87th Street.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Mayor Mamdani\u2019s Press Secretary, Joe Calvello, put out a statement late Saturday that said: \u201cThe \u2018Crusade Against Islamification\u2019 gathering held outside Gracie Mansion today by Jake Lang, a vile white supremacist, was despicable and Islamophobic. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully, the Mayor and the First Lady are both safe, though the events are a stark reminder of the threats they both face regularly.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mayor has spoken with Police Commissioner Tisch, and the NYPD is actively investigating the protest, counter-protest, and suspicious devices discovered outside Gracie Mansion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NYPD, meanwhile, said the devices did not explode or detonate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Video\u00a0circulating on X<\/a>\u00a0showed the moment one device was thrown towards Lang.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lang said he fled New York City for Long Island after the incident.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wait a minute. Regardless of what you think of Lang, he does have the right to protest, and he was protesting in a non-violent manner. The people who threw the explosive devices were not protesting legally as soon as they threw the bombs. Notice that the Mayor is quick to condemn Lang–not mentioning who threw the devices.<\/p>\n

On March 9th, The New York Post<\/a> posted an article about the people who threw the explosive devices.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

One of the accused terrorists busted for\u00a0lobbing explosive devices near Gracie Mansion<\/a>\u00a0flashed a sick salute honoring ISIS as he was led in shackles from a police precinct Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emir Balat, 18, was seen holding up his right index finger \u2014 a universal salute for the terror group \u2014 and grinning at the press while being led by a cop and an FBI agent.<\/strong><\/p>\n
