#NYCStrong: NYC Stands Strong and Defiant
Saipov

Yesterday, NYC once again became the focus of the world when 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov used his rental truck to mow down a number of cyclists. He left in his wake eight dead and at least 11 injured. New York City’s finest, members of the NYPD, arrested him only after he crashed into a school bus and exited his vehicle. Was he trying to commit suicide-by-cop when he got out of the truck holding a fake gun in each hand? If so, he failed. After a short foot pursuit, he was shot and is currently under arrest at an NYC hospital. Once again, NYC is getting up to a new day, proving that it is not only resilient but defiant as raises its collective middle finger to every terrorist, every extremist and every person foolish enough to think it will roll over and give up. #NYCStrong.

Already, the left is spinning what happened and trying to turn the focus to islamophobia instead of looking at why Saipov decided to use his truck to kill as many as he could. As the article says, liberals often fail to comprehend the meaning of words, in this case, terrorism, “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.” That means we need to look at Saipov and what he wanted to accomplish.
