Teens accused of bombing attempt at Mamdani home openly discussed plans to kill

Yeah, TATP is super unstable, it will go off after kinetic shock, friction, heat, static... basically don't be around it and don't touch it.

Me: TATP? > [Tri]Acetone [Tri]peroxide (/æsəˈtəʊn pɛrˈɒksaɪd/ ⓘ also called APEX and mother of Satan)… Me: Oh…

These morons are lucky enough that the bombs didn’t go off while making them. In school, many years ago when there wasn’t much restriction on acquiring source chemicals, a friend of mine lost half his hand from TATP going off during synthesis. Writing hand, on top of that. Ended up with two months off sick and some trouble with the law as well.

Also sounds like they were targeting the right wing protesters. The headline made me think they were targeting Mamdani and wondered how it wasn't even bigger news that someone tried to bomb the mayor of NYC.

I mean I'm sure people would've gotten fucked up but you need shrapnel. The explosive just propels the shrapnel. A soda can isn't creating a whole lot of shrapnel. It was going to fail no matter what because the entire setup was bad. Not to dismiss that people could've been seriously burned or that even a soda can can still create a small amount of lethal shrapnel but luckily it was never going to be some massive casualty event. Lives were saved, but we don't need to overstate what this attack was. It was poorly planned start to finish. Edit: someone tells me the jar of nails was actually the real bomb. I recall there being like four different conflicting stories that the bomb was a pipe, a can, a jar, and a soda bottle. I've seen like 20 different photos. The jar was by far the most lethal. That was a really dangerous bomb and that was a really lucky day if so.

Excuse me, what the f***

I love it when idiots tries to cause terror and instead made it easy for police to deal with them. Years, if not decades, behind bar to discourage them from trying again. The Two Stoogies tries act of terrorism

the other guy said "bro this is so cool"

>The FBI says that a suspect in the arson fire at a historic Mississippi synagogue admitted to targeting the institution **because of its “Jewish ties”.** A synagogue with Jewish ties. Well that's a genius right there. The synagogue had survived bombing by the KKK, but sadly not a 19 year old (alleged) arsonist with brain rot. >It was the site of a Ku Klux Klan bombing in 1967 – a response to the congregation’s role in civil rights activities, according to the Institute of Southern Jewish Life, which also houses its office in the building. The home of the synagogue’s rabbi, an outspoken critic of racial segregation, was also bombed two months later by the same group. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/12/mississippi-synagogue-fire-fbi-suspect-targeted He did manage to f*** himself up in the process >The man accused of torching a Mississippi synagogue posted a graphic selfie hours after the antisemitic attack, showing off his nasty burns. >Pittman raised his **swollen and severely burned left hand** in the photo while **his bemused face** was covered in pink scorch marks. https://nypost.com/2026/01/13/us-news/teen-accused-of-torching-mississippi-synagogue-posted-hospital-selfie-of-severe-burns-hours-after-attack/l

This gave me a good laugh. Brainrotted terrorists. 

I mean in the end are these guys really much different from any of the other mass shooters and killers we get? Kinda goes for all these 16-21 year old domestic terrorists. The white atheist and Christian mass shooters just believe in one form of nihilism while the Muslim bombers instead opt for the extremist Islam death cult version of nihilism that gets distorted even further when it's under the context of growing up in America. Seems to stick with the trend that we're being killed by brainrotted chronically online young people who got themselves radicalized for the meme, usually online.

All laid out while talking about their plan in front of a dash cam in their own car. Guys were not exactly criminal masterminds.

Bro-Qaeda

Pretty sure they wanted to throw their lives down the drain and die when the bombs went off instead of being apprehended.

Lifelong tour of Supermax Prison. Not the brightest bulbs in the box.

Stupid people always think they’re smarter than everyone else

I bet their shitty discord channels were egging them on.

And doing it because a guy wants to provide everyone free buses.

I would go as far as to say the headline is engineered to give the impression that it was an attempt on Mamdani’s life.

Also his bomb looked like a cartoon 💣

He wanted to get a Cranston but the barber was looking at the wrong page of the magazine.

Poodle ass 😭 I can’t unsee it now

It's from the Guardian lmao what did you expect

and to still see these headlines this much time later is crazy.

Yeah that dudes head line is indeed atrocious.

They dont want to say two Islamic terrorists were caught. So they leave it vague

I like the way you think

All-inclusive trip to the resort of Guantanamo Bay

Quote from the article: ‘ While being taken to the police precinct, Balat allegedly said: “This isn’t a religion that just stands when people talk bad about … our prophet. We take action! We take action! “If I don’t do it, someone else will come and do it,” he is also accused of saying. Balat allegedly waived his right to stay silent. At the precinct, he purportedly wrote on a piece of paper: “All praise is due to Allah lord of all worlds! I pledge my allegience [sic] to the Islamic State. Die in your rage yu [sic] kuffar! Emir B.” ’

Don't even need articles for that, Mamdani's own tweet phrased it that way too.

Mamdani implied it himself. Horrible look all around

I mean they're on the anti everyone side of this. They just wanted to blow up people. They are far right terrorists, just not the American far right

Mamdani supporting terrorists…  But they support the Islamic state… ‘ While being taken to the police precinct, Balat allegedly said: “This isn’t a religion that just stands when people talk bad about … our prophet.

The intent was not to kill people protesting Mamdani.  Their stated intent was to kill anti-muslim people who happened to be protesting Mamdani.  It was just a convenient gathering of their targets.

What are you talking about lol. First time hearing about this and the only reference to anti Islam in any of the initial reports from early March is that the attackers were related to isis, targeting anti-Islam protestors.
