Yeah. The news in my country is Bomb atleast 50 people killed and more than 100 injured We are sad The news an hour later: Look at this cat reacting to the light, oh how funny We angry We annoyed and then forget ad carry on. No attack for months and happy that things are getting better and then....... another bomb
It caused us more problems. The word terrorism probably was never used in pakistan before 1980s and was not used much before 2000s. The terrorists seemed to get stronger the more you intervened.
I know! Mostly because I've had the exact same thought, even as a kid. When I was eight, I often pondered: "How would Spider-Man be able to use his powers on a farm? He needs the buildings to attach his webs to." I didn't have many friends at eight.
See, this is the proper way to respond to this sort of thing: the bombers do this with the explicit purpose of spreading fear and terror and to have their efforts defused (pardon the pun) in such a way sucks the wind right out of their sails. Props to the city of New York for not letting fear get to them!
+Jason Bay You are categorically, demonstrably, irrefutably wrong. Terrorists kill because they want to *terrorize* people. That's where they got their name from.
At first I was genuinely interested as to how he would make jokes about terrorist bombings but I see he twisted I a very positive light by showing that the "effects" of the bombing did nothing more than just annoy people. Therefore, the terrorist fail to actually terrorize westerners. Great Job Trevor! Genius skit!
They might OR they might change strategies since the bombing was very ineffective, can go either way, but you definately dont get them to stop bombing by panicking and playing right into their hands.
I'm a New Yorker too. And my friend lives in Chelsea. Guess us New Yorkers are bad *ss. Wouldn't know how others are since I was born and raised and have always lived here.
This really is the best 'jig' on terrorism ever!!!! Perfection!!!! We Gota start taking this attitude cause these fuckers are only getting started😡 ❤️🇺🇸❤️
This is depressing as shit. The message is don't give a fuck. You would give a fuck if it were your family or friend with shrapnel in them. This is an attempt to persuade you to accept terrorism as a normal part of American life. No thanks.
+Dr. Zoidberg I studied international relations with a certificate in global terrorism and you're absolutely right. terrorism feeds off the media. Thus, if the media doesn't report/care about terrorist activity, the terrorism suffocates. (The media is their air supply.)
Real talk: When I first saw that clip, when the reporter asked Carson what he thought Trump took away from today and Carson hastily responded "My luggage!" I legitimately thought that Trump had stolen Ben Carson's luggage. I mean, I wouldn't put it past Trump. I feel like he would enjoy teasing Ben Carson.
Not that I don't get what you're trying to say, but the major difference is that one incident took place in a warzone whilst the other in a major city during peace time. Terror bombing always gets precedence in the news over warzone incidents.
FlamingDouchebag One happened to easily one of the biggest cities in America. The other happened on the other side of the world. Its not some grand conspiracy its simple apathy. If you think American news being more concerned about the former is evidence of a conspiracy to slaughter Syrian civilians, you must be deepy paranoid
New York's finally got as jaded as London. I visited New York about a year after the 7/7 bombings and whenever people found out we were from near London everyone assumed we would be panicked, or grieving a year later. Meanwhile we'd completely moved on and, at the time, were mostly just pissed off at the fact the tube wasn't working.
This is true, and I'm not comparing them. I'm comparing New Yorkers' expectations of Londoners' reactions to 7/7 to our actual reactions. There is also the fact that London has been the target of terrorist attacks since the 70s whereas New York hadn't so much so we'd had longer to reach a point where they no longer panic us.
7/7 was definitely an inside job, though. There is no such certainty with 9/11. Even a cursory glance at what passes for the official report on the London attacks shows the story as presented by Blair's regime could not possibly have taken place. It could also not be more obvious it was a false flag. RU-vid "7/7 Ripple Effect"
Kris Reese If the world follows New Yorkers in dealing with terrorism, it's pretty much over. Sadly, a lot of people (and, more importantly, the media) don't seem to be interested in it.
Buddy, that's how most of the third world gets by. We don't make global headlines when bombs explode around us and people actually die. We just cross the street to get past the police tape and carry on. Hasn't deterred the terrorists so far.
Priyanka Nandy Terrorism is about putting people into a state of terror, into panic. If it doesn't do that, it doesn't work. Now, it still works in the first world. I can't claim to be an expert, but as far as I know ISIS and similar groups draw a lot of their manpower from outside. Terrorism and the effect it has can also be a very twisted ad campaign. So due to their global success, they still get "reinforcements" even if their tactics don't work everywhere. And as long as that's the case, they'll continue. The only effective way we'll defeat islamic terrorism is to drain it's support. And the only way we'll do that is not to allow their fear tactics to take any effect. There are historic examples that this is how you defeat terrorist groups; In Germany, there was a ultra-left-wing terrorist group in the 70s and 80s known as the Red Army Fraction. They carried out attacks, kidnappings, bombings and alike. But the german government pretty much refused to give a damm. And as the world changed and the group had to realise they had no effect on it, they desolved the group.
This took like 18 hours to be published after airing, quite a while compared to the other late night videos most of the time. "Tonight's content, tonight" is an important thing to offer if they want to grow RU-vid views. It doesn't pay the bills, compared to TV, but is important to everyone else they compete with.
Native New Yorker here. This isn't the first time our phones have gone off on some alert. The last time it happened was for a storm warning that never showed up. Then you have the matter of 9/11 that really seems to have desensitized people, and even then, I remember people still getting up for work on the same week the towers collapsed. There are so many different people here that we just don't give a shit about what others are doing. The live and let live mentality is very strong here. The only ones who don't understand that are the annoying yuppies that have been moving in.
I'm a New Yorker myself so I have no idea how others live. This is what I know. It was the first time it was an alert about finding someone...besides those once in a blue Amber Alerts. But it did wake me up and it was annoying!
I totally agree. My mom was 8 months pregnant with me and in the building on one of the upper that was next to the towers. She saw the plane crash into the towers and then got ANNOYED that her coworkers made her take the stairs and leave her car in the garage to take a bus out instead.
I really sat here and thought the towers did not go down so long ago I was about to call bullshit on you being old enough to type if your mom was pregnant with you back then. Then I remembered I was 11 when that happened and I am 26 now. Thanks man this is the first time in my life I have felt old.
Great material Trevor, watching you deliver serious news in such a humorous manner is amazing, it always makes me look forward to the next news you going to present. KEEP IT UP MAN.
I'm so confused by this. Don't terrorists have goals? You know, like freeing hostages or more rights for dolphins or whatever? What's the message here? Are they protesting pressure cooking or supporting it?
Dude is the son of a business owner that owns a fried chicken joint that had numerous complaints by residents that they were loud and raucous at all hours and the city forced them to close at 10pm every night. He was literally fighting for his right to party.
+Nume Moon He is referring to the fact that the family were being harrassed by people. Not the fact that this guy probably was pushed into the arms of ISIS when his asshole neighbors refused to allow him and his family to integrate peacefully into American society. But yeah, ISIS is pretty clear in its goals- them vs everyone else.
I teach young Afghans occasionally. Once, something heavy fell in the gymnasium next door. It went Boom. I jumped, they didn't. One said: "In Kabul, lots of BOOM."
I mean, nobody being seriously harmed surely helped with the nonchalant attitude but can you imagine this was the way people always reacted to terrorist attacks? If people's reaction after 9/11 wouldn't have been to search for ever new ways to fuck the constitution but instead to go "Are you fucking shitting me?! That was a _rental_ you buried there under like a million tons of concrete!" Terrorists would be like "fuck this shit, this ain't no fun anymore" in like two days.
Take the terror away from the terrorists, and they'll have nothing. Overboard fear mongering is for the weak minded. America still has hope. Keep it up!
New Yorker here. I was at first alarmed and worried that some folks might have been hurt. Then I went the fuck back to work. Ain't got time to be scared of that terrorist attack shit, where the fuck do you think I live?
This reminds me of when they find another ww2 bomb in my city in Germany and we're just all complaining about how the subway is late because the friggin French couldn't have just dropped their damn bomb a kilometer over
That's about as close to an european experience as you can get. Every now and then we find bombs from WWII here and the only reason people are ever mad is that there will be a traffic detour.
+schackmountain dude, wow, dick move, yeah we have problems, but many of us are more devoted to figuring out solutions to these problems than causing them. It's called a rough patch, the US has those every once and a while. Once a war starts though, I'm willing to bet that the US will again be the deciding factor, huh, wonder why, its not like we've only had one lost war or anything, what's UK's record again? And who has had to back their shit up time and time again, even after fighting them off to gain independence and having every reason to hold a grudge? Please, tell me that answer jack ass.
I was living with a New Yorker when the World Trade Center was first bombed in the 90s. He told me that they would soon forget about it because they're busy with their own lives. He was right.
This is so accurate. Can't count the times I've been on the train and people complaining about being late to work because someone committed suicide jumping in front of the train during rush hour.
No kind of terror attack is okay but this bizarre and disturbing as people were more upset with the terror alert than the attack it self. Damn what a strange world we live in these days
There is this unforeseen aspect about both terrorist attacks, and random mass shootings... that the law of diminishing returns applies. The more often they happen... the less shocking they are... until you hit the point where people just see them as annoying and, in this case, something to laugh at.
