In addition, the governor emphasized that currently anyone can go to the internet and download garbage and materials and vile contents. He said the suspect made an amateur level explosive device.
Moreover, Gov. Cuomo said, “That is the reality we live with. The counter reality is that this is New York. We all pitch together and we are a savvy people and we keep our eyes open. We have the best law enforcement across the globe.
On the other hand, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said, “Let’s be clear – this was an attempted terrorist attack. Thank God the perpetrator did not achieve his ultimate goals. Our first responders were there quickly and the only injuries we know of right now are minor.”
